In reality, trawlers do not fish below 1,250m, so this rule would do nothing to stop bottom trawling damage.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p>Greenpeace has described this proposal as \u201cmeaningless greenwash.\u201d&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p>In the last year, New Zealand was the only country to bottom trawl in the South Pacific, and that\u2019s despite an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rnz.co.nz\/news\/business\/381302\/talley-s-accused-of-illegal-trawling-in-protected-tasman-sea-area\">NZ owned ship being accused of bottom trawling<\/a> in a protected area in the region.<\/p>\n\n<p>In 2019, Talley\u2019s vessel the <em>Amaltal Apollo<\/em> was placed on SPRFMO\u2019s provisional fishing blacklist due to the alleged offence, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/aotearoa\/press-release\/nz-government-acts-as-advocate-for-fishing-industry-at-international-meeting\/\">but the New Zealand government successfully lobbied to get them taken off<\/a> the following year.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p>The government promised to prosecute Talley\u2019s to avoid them being blacklisted, but two and a half years later, prosecution of the company has not been completed. Talley\u2019s vessels have continued to bottom trawl the South Pacific Ocean since.<\/p>\n\n<p>In November 2020, Greenpeace and a coalition of environmental groups handed a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/aotearoa\/press-release\/50000-strong-petition-calls-for-an-end-to-bottom-trawling-on-seamounts\/\">50,000 strong petition over to government,<\/a> calling for bottom trawling to be banned on seamounts.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p>Jessica Desmond, oceans campaigner at Greenpeace, says New Zealanders are tired of hearing how our government is failing to protect the oceans, and that they want to see action.<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cThere has been a pattern of New Zealand governments putting industry over oceans protections both domestically and in these South Pacific meetings,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cNew Zealanders are over it. It remains to be seen if the new government and Minister for Oceans and Fisheries will take this in hand, and ensure marine biodiversity is protected for all.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p><em>Submissions from members of SPRFMO, including New Zealand, Australia, the European Union and the Deep Sea Conservation Coalition <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sprfmo.int\/meetings\/comm\/9th-commission-meeting-2021\/\"><em>are available on this website ahead of the meeting.<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n\t\t\t<section\n\t\t\tclass=\"boxout post-14955 \"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<a\n\t\t\t\tdata-ga-category=\"Take Action Boxout\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-ga-action=\"Image\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-ga-label=\"n\/a\"\n\t\t\t\tclass=\"cover-card-overlay\"\n\t\t\t\thref=\"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/aotearoa\/act\/open-letter-for-oceans-protection\/\" \n\t\t\t><\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img\n\t\t\t\t\t\tsrc=\"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-aotearoa-stateless\/2020\/11\/60fec928-1278390490-huge-1024x683.jpg\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\tsrcset=\"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-aotearoa-stateless\/2020\/11\/60fec928-1278390490-huge-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-aotearoa-stateless\/2020\/11\/60fec928-1278390490-huge-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-aotearoa-stateless\/2020\/11\/60fec928-1278390490-huge-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-aotearoa-stateless\/2020\/11\/60fec928-1278390490-huge-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-aotearoa-stateless\/2020\/11\/60fec928-1278390490-huge-2048x1366.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-aotearoa-stateless\/2020\/11\/60fec928-1278390490-huge-510x340.jpg 510w\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\tsizes=\"(min-width: 1000px) 358px, (min-width: 780px) 313px, 88px\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\talt=\"ocean protection in New Zealand\" title=\"ocean protection in New Zealand\"\n\t\t\t\t\/>\n            \t\t\t<div class=\"boxout-content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a\n\t\t\t\t\t\tclass=\"boxout-heading medium\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\tdata-ga-category=\"Take Action Boxout\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\tdata-ga-action=\"Title\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\tdata-ga-label=\"n\/a\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\thref=\"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/aotearoa\/act\/open-letter-for-oceans-protection\/\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tOpen Letter for Oceans Protection\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"boxout-excerpt\">Imagine a future where the ocean thrives.
