NZ Navy Aids Cook Islands in Illegal Fishing Battle

Four NZ Navy personnel recently joined the crew of Te Kukupa II. Their mission was to patrol over 30 million square kilometres of ocean.

This joint effort aims to combat illegal fishing in the Cook Islands' waters. The Te Kukupa II is crucial for maintaining maritime security and sustainability in the region. The inclusion of Navy personnel enhances the capability of the vessel in addressing illegal activities effectively. This cooperation also strengthens the relationship between New Zealand and the Cook Islands.
