Incredible stuff here from Greenpeace.
This is all the evidence needed.
Bottom trawling HAS to stop.

Embarrassing. New Zealand is pushing to allow for more coral destruction on the high seas, out of step with other countries who are backing greater ocean protection.
NZ Govt you know how to fix this. Stop bottom trawling in High Seas of the South Pacific.

What's the point of having "Marine Protected Areas" if you allow Bottom Trawling?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iNRgihjRJMc
"The UK government has opened a public consultation on bottom trawling in Marine Protected Areas (Stage 3 MPA consultation). They are asking for citizens’ opinions on whether destructive practices like bottom trawling should be allowed to continue inside Marine Conservation Zones (MCZs)."

Remembering that time Fat Freddy's Drop helped Greenpeace highlight the threat to deep sea life posed by bottom trawling.

New Zealand is not backing ocean protection. Embarrassing. And the world is noticing.
We're the only country still carrying out destructive bottom trawling the High Seas of the South Pacific.

The awesomely named "Review of sustainability measures for orange roughy (ORH 3B)" is emblematic of putting profits over ocean health. 🌊
You can tell the government to ban bottom trawling now.
Just send them an email.
(Example text in reply toot)This is a NZ Orange roughy fishery that is in freefall. MPI is consulting what to do about it. They need to prioritise sustainability over profits. The ESCR ORH3B must be closed immediately. Even the most conservative option may fall short.
Some background:

Essential listening. Excellent summary of how a once abundant deep sea fish is now at risk.
Orange roughy are caught by bottom trawling. Trawling destroys the ecosystems where roughy congregate.
Bottom trawling is indefensible, which is exactly why Greenpeace activists recently rebranded bottom trawlers on the Chatham Rise - the same area where roughy are now under pressure.

Key orange roughy fishery - on the Chatham Rise - is on the brink of collapse.
This is a heavily bottom trawled area - where Greenpeace has just been on the Rainbow Warrior campaigning for greater ocean protection.
Bottom trawling destroys seamounts and the coral that grows on them which are key habitats for roughy - a deep sea fish that can live to 200 years old. It's time for bottom trawling to stop.

"Oceans with David Attenborough" is now on my must watch list, and I strongly recommend it be added to yours.
"the camera follows the chains of a bottom trawling net to the ocean floor. In the blue-green murk, it is a scene from a horror movie."
“It smashes its way across the seabed, destroying nearly everything in its path..."
#Attenborough’s new film is bringing audiences to tears, and one voice has gone silent in its wake: the global fishing industry.
Bottom #trawling is indefensible.

WOW.
It's twenty years today since Greenpeace captured this arresting image that changed the conversation about bottom trawling.
And the fishing industry is STILL saying they don't trawl coral.

Bottom trawlers devastate "protected" EU waters. Nets as big as football pitches scrape away reefs and destroy marine life. Urge @VSinkevicius and @vonderleyen to take action now and truly protect the seas. #BanBottomTrawling only.one/act/bottom-trawling

Reflecting on how the Hauraki Gulf fisheries plan failed to #banbottomtrawling in the Tīkapa Moana Marine Park, its clear that MPI is really listening to the fishing industry and ignoring both the science and the wishes of the people.
