Shellfish Warning Lifted in All Auckland Areas
Subsequent to further information received this morning from the Ministry of Primary Industries and Northland DHB, the
Auckland Regional Public Health Service confirms a lift of the shellfish public health warning in all areas of the
Auckland region.
Recent monitoring results for the Kaipara Harbour now show that PSP (paralytic shellfish poisoning) levels have fallen
to non detectable levels, meaning that shellfish collection and consumption is again safe for the public in all of the
Auckland Region, including the Kaipara Harbour.
Monitoring of the situation will continue, and the public will be alerted should there again be an increase to unsafe
levels.
