Bottom trawling is a destructive fishing practice where huge weighted nets are dragged over underwater mountains or hills destroying ancient corals and killing rare marine life.<\/p>\n\n<p>Activists also attached a large \u201cTalley\u2019s Ocean Vandals\u201d banner to the hull of the bottom trawling vessel.<\/p>\n\n<p>Greenpeace Aotearoa oceans campaigner Ellie Hooper says, \u201cTaking action against Talley\u2019s is necessary to protect the ocean\u2019s biodiversity. We can have a healthy and thriving ocean again, but we have to stop the worst types of fishing.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cEvery year, Talley\u2019s sends a fleet of vessels out to bottom trawl seamounts, destroying vulnerable coral habitats in the process. In the middle of the biodiversity crisis &#8211; bottom trawling seamounts is indefensible,\u201d says Hooper.<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cSeamounts are the building blocks of ocean life, forming essential breeding grounds for fish and a home for unique species. Fragile and slow growing coral live there &#8211; often called \u201cthe kauri of the deep\u201d.<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cWhen companies like Talley\u2019s drag large weighted nets over seamounts they don\u2019t just catch fish, they bulldoze through everything in their path and net huge amounts of other species. Research shows these trawled areas may not recover in our lifetime.<\/p>\n\n<p>From aboard the raft attached to Talley\u2019s bottom trawling vessel, Greenpeace activist Jessica Desmond says: \u201cWe are here today to disrupt Talley\u2019s activities &#8211; because they continue to bottom trawl seamounts, and the government has not taken action to stop them.<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cToday we\u2019re calling on David Parker to ban bottom trawling on these biodiversity hotspots. To protect the health of the ocean, bottom trawling on seamounts must stop.\u201d<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cNew Zealanders are already on board. Over 70,000 people have signed petitions calling for a ban on bottom trawling and recent polling shows nearly 80% of respondents want the practice banned.\u201d<\/p>\n\n<p>Bottom trawling involves dragging huge heavy nets over seamounts to catch fish that congregate on these biodiversity hot spots to feed and spawn. An indiscriminate method, it drags up everything growing on the seafloor along with killing non-targeted marine life.<\/p>\n\n<p>Seamounts are underwater mountains, hills and knolls of various sizes and NIWA have mapped over 800 of them in New Zealand. Fed by nutrients rising from the deep they are ideal locations for coral and sponges to grow which in turn act as nurseries for fish and other marine life. Larger mammals also benefit with whales and sharks using seamounts as feeding and navigation spots.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p>Recent <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mpi.govt.nz\/dmsdocument\/51736-Fisheries-Assessment-Plenary-May-2022-Stock-Assessments-and-Stock-Status-Volume-2-Horse-Mussel-to-Red-Crab\">research<\/a> into orange roughy, a deep sea fish that can live for over 200 years, adds further evidence to show why bottom trawling is unsustainable. Scientists found that orange roughy don\u2019t reach full maturity around 80 years of age, much later than previously thought, throwing the sustainability of this fishery further into question.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p>Despite this news, the Marine Sustainability Certification has revealed its plans to give its blue tick to orange roughy fisheries in New Zealand.<\/p>\n\t\t\t<section\n\t\t\tclass=\"boxout post-16026 \"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<a\n\t\t\t\tdata-ga-category=\"Take Action
