How new fishing tech can reduce bycatch of turtles and other creatures

Specially equipped nets can help save some species, while allowing fisherman to still catch others.

In India, crushing U.S. tariffs on the shrimp export industry has reduced orders and job opportunities, giving employers more leverage.

Pushed to work at least 12 hours a day for the same pay with no health insurance, provident fund, or bonuses, workers had only two choices – quit or comply.

Wage Cuts, Broken Security: US Tariffs Squeeze Women in India’s Shrimp Industry

I think it was me, personally, and my powerful posting that caused Shane Jones to tremble and back down. 😂

Still, the bill is a disaster and should be entirely rejected.

Fishing fight: Everyone in New Zealand vs Shane Jones

At this point, the only ones not claiming credit for Jones’ fish size backdown are Jones himself, the fishing industry and large fishes.

What is all the outrage about the fisheries amendment bill? How much of a betrayal to people, planet and oceans are we talking about? Is Shane Jones really just a mouthpiece for industrial fishing companies? Will National ever grow a spine?

Read all about it in this blog post from #greenpeace.

Sold to the highest trawler: Shane Jones hands NZ oceans over to Big Fish - National silent - Greenpeace Aotearoa

Sweeping amendments proposed under the Fisheries Amendment Bill sign the ocean over to corporate fishing companies, incentivising trawling, and silencing New Zealanders right to have a say. But perhaps someone should remind National that their voters don’t support ocean destruction.
