The community in Waikato has taken a bold step to ban bottom trawling and other damaging fishing methods in most of the coastal area around them. 🌊 💪

But of course now the greedy fishing industry lobby has announced they will try to stop the regional council's decision to continue unrestricted profiting off ocean destruction. 🐟

We stand in solidarity with mana whenua, local leaders, scientists and environmental advocates that want to protect the ocean for everyone. 🌏

Industry opposition to bottom trawling ban “outrageous” - Greenpeace Aotearoa

News that fishing industry lobby group Seafood New Zealand will actively oppose a ground breaking, community-supported plan to ban bottom trawling along the Coromandel Coast shows how out-of-touch it is with public sentiment.

Unique videos show how trawling restrictions brings back life to the sea

Trawling restrictions not only benefits fish and shellfish; anemones and corals are also becoming more common, according to a new study from the University of Gothenburg. Twenty-six years of underwater videos from the depths of the Koster Sea also show long-term changes in the ecosystem as the water becomes warmer.
