The evidence is undeniable: bottom trawling is inherently destructive and has NO PLACE in areas that should be ocean sanctuaries for wildlife

New Zealand's Bottom Trawling Debate: Balancing Economic Benefits and Environmental Concerns
The article discusses the ongoing debate in New Zealand regarding the environmental impact of bottom trawling, a fishing method that has sparked controversy due to its ecological consequences. The Fisheries Amendment Bill, which aimed to address these concerns, has been delayed, prompting questions about the balance between economic benefits for the fishing industry and the need to protect marine ecosystems. Key issues include the destruction of seamount habitats, the release of carbon stored in ocean sediments, and the potential long-term effects on biodiversity. Scientists and environmentalists argue that the practice threatens fragile ecosystems, while industry representatives highlight its economic importance. Proposed solutions include stricter regulations, sustainable fishing practices, and international cooperation to mitigate the environmental damage caused by bottom trawling.

🌊 Marine protected areas are supposed to safeguard our iconic wildlife, yet one porpoise sanctuary was subjected to 30,000+ hrs of apparent bottom trawling last year alone

It must end.
