She was the last: Penguin starvation crisis sparks call for emergency fishing ban The fate of the hoiho - among the world’s rarest penguin species - rests with two ministers.

Pulled lifeless from a commercial fishing net off the Otago coast, the adult female yellow-eyed penguin had drowned in a silent, unseen death.

She was the last known breeding-age female Hoiho from the Sandfly Bay colony.

Fish dumping is disgustingly wasteful.

This is what Shane Jones and his fishing industry donors want to allow with their proposed changes to fishing laws.

There are dead cats in a Hamilton freezer, but it’s for a good cause DOC scientists are collecting feral cats and spying on live ones, all in the name of saving Māui dolphins from extinction.

Feral cats are a big problem, but we shouldn't let the fishing industry get away with using them as a distraction from Māui dolphin deaths in fishing nets.

A tone-deaf happy birthday message to David Attenborough OPINION: The fishing industry claims its track record is “the sort of good news a global treasure like Sir David needs on his 99th Birthday”, rolling out a litany of “alternative facts”.

Unbelievable nonsense from the NZ fishing industry!

NZ is the ONLY country still bottom trawling international waters of the South Pacific, where they target ancient coral habitats.

New Zealand position at SPRFMO fisheries forum reckless - Greenpeace Aotearoa Greenpeace is calling the stance taken by New Zealand at a the international SPRFMO fisheries forum short-sighted and reckless.

PRESS RELEASE
"New Zealand’s stance at SPRFMO once again shows the desperate, short-term drive for profit, pushed by this Luxon-led government, which is siding with its fishing industry mates and promoting their interests over ocean protection" - @juanparada.bsky.social

‘Wrong side of history’: NZ makes controversial bid for Australia’s orange roughy quota New Zealand is among 17 nations meeting in Chile to negotiate high seas fishing policy.

From bad to worse.

Now the Luxon Government wants to take Australia’s quota of orange roughy in the South Pacific and increase limits for how much deep-sea coral bottom trawlers are allowed to take!

NZ rebuked for behaviour at fisheries forum Shane Jones hits back, saying it’s “not tolerable” to expect NZ to cede influence in the Pacific.

An international fisheries forum has delivered a stinging rebuke to New Zealand after diplomats made an abrupt about-turn on deep-sea trawling restrictions.

Shane Jones overhauls fisheries management, hints at further deregulation Flanked by industry players, Shane Jones announces reforms to catch limits and curbs cameras on boats programme

What a nightmare.

We need MORE cameras, not fewer - and they need to be rolled out across the whole commercial fishing fleet.

Govt to weaken Hauraki Gulf protections over $14k in fishing revenue…

A drowned wandering albatross on a longline. Fishing gear used by vessels poses one of the biggest threats to seabirds. They're attracted to the bait and caught fish, and the gear involved can injure, capture, or kill them.

BREAKING
New data from cameras on boats reveals massive under-reporting of dolphin and seabird killing by the fishing industry: www.thepost.co.nz/politics/350...

They cannot be trusted.

We now need cameras on ALL their boats and the data managed independently.

'Vague and ineffective': Scientists criticise new fishing rules on kina barrens in Northland 'While removing kina treats the symptom, it doesn't address the cause of a sick reef.'

“While removing kina treats the symptom, it does nothing to address the core cause of a sick reef. And that is overfishing.”
