Muttonbirding

From Country Life, 9:30 pm on 28 March 2014

Harvesting muttonbirds on the Titi Islands is a family tradition for Stewart islanders, Phillip and Zane Smith. Phillip has been a fisherman for most of his life and now he runs an eco tourism business. Zane has a paua quota and catches butterfish, but the recent advent of cage diving to see great white sharks is making him think twice about diving for paua.
