Canada’s Pacific Coast hit hard by trawling, with limited transparency: Report https://news.mongabay.com/2025/07/canadas-pacific-coast-hit-hard-by-trawling-with-limited-transparency-report/
Mongabay Environmental News · Canada’s Pacific Coast hit hard by trawling, with limited transparency: ReportTrawling vessels pursuing fish are damaging marine ecosystems in Canada’s West Coast waters and could be operating illegally in some cases, and yet they work with insufficient transparency, a new report says. Nine large trawlers have together trawled swaths of the ocean collectively larger than the size of Ireland since 2009, according to the report, […]
Excellent new video from the Māui and Hector's Dolphin Defenders! 
The NZ fishing industry does huge damage to ocean ecosystems but their PR would tell you otherwise. They recently released a video taking viewers 'beneath the waves', to 'muddy, sandy sea floors' where "bottom trawling is low impact".
But bottom trawling killed at least 12 Hector's dolphins in the last fishing year. So we corrected their video for them.

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.

RNZ · Warnings resurface over iconic fish
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.

The net profit is not worth the gross damage.
Shane Jones said to get a real job, so we did.
In all seriousness, bottom trawling has to stop in the places it does the most harm.

Our deranged Minister for Oceans and Fisheries has Things to Say about Greenpeace.
And he does it in the weirdest, most embarrassing way possible.

You'd think it would take more than a bit of paint to scare these big bad bottom trawling ships so much they decide to hide their position by switching off their AIS systems. 
AIS is a safety measure and turning it off increases the risk of all vessels at sea, by making potential collisions more likely.

Did you know that NZ has a massive Exclusive Economic Zone at sea?
That means that when the Seafood industry representatives say "only 3% was trawled last year" they mean about 68,000 sq km, roughly a quarter of the landmass of the country.
Or "only about 11% has ever been trawled" they mean 465,100 sq km, or 1.7 times the entire area of the land (268,000 sq km).

So awful to see these little sharks desperately trying to escape a needless death in a Talley’s bottom trawling net. #BanBottomTrawling

These activists are heroic ocean defenders, standing up for the health of the seas in face of an industry that profits off its destruction and a government that is complicit to this indefensible act.
We've been out at sea chasing bottom trawlers and look what happened today.
