Minister for MPI, Nathan Guy, has confirmed this morning that the fishing industry is indeed responsible for reviewing video surveillance from its own trawlers and reporting suspicious behaviour to the regulator, MPI.<\/p>\n

Guy told Radio New Zealand<\/a> that Trident – the industry owned partnership – analysed footage from the trawlers and then decided what it should to report to the Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI).<\/p>\n

“Trident does the summary, they alert MPI if there’s anything they see that’s suspicious,\u201d Guy said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis confirms our worst fears,\u201d says Russel Norman, Executive Director of Greenpeace New Zealand. \u201cMPI have contracted out monitoring and analysis to the industry, and Nathan Guy and Prime Minister John Key are defending it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Yesterday Greenpeace blew the whistle on MPI<\/a> awarding a contract to Trident, a firm wholly owned and controlled by the fishing industry, to electronically monitor the SNA1 with video and GPS technology.<\/p>\n

MPI\u2019s Minister, Guy, tried to defend the move this morning, saying, \u201cMPI gets a summary of that footage, it can’t be tampered with, it’s securely stored…”<\/p>\n

But Greenpeace\u2019s Norman says the key word in Guy\u2019s statement this morning is \u201csummary\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe\u00a0 fishing industry owned and controlled organisation decides what footage they should red flag to MPI,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n

\u201cLet\u2019s be clear about that: MPI contracts Trident to view and summarise the footage. Trident decides what to put in its report to MPI. MPI have contracted policing our fisheries to the very industrial fishing companies that most need policing, and both Nathan Guy and Prime Minister John Key seem to think this is okay.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnyone who cares about sustainable fisheries or just being to catch a fish for the family dinner, will not think this is okay at all.\u201d<\/p>\n
