Trawling has no place in this precious marine park and the public mandate for change is clear \u2013 over 84% of people surveyed want trawling gone from the Gulf.

We\u2019re here to tell the Government to listen to the tens of thousands of people that want protection, and not be influenced by fishing industry lobbyists. We need to protect the Gulf, not the interests of the fishing industry.\u201d<\/p>\n\n<p>Bottom trawling is an indiscriminate fishing method that involves dragging large weighted nets across the seafloor, bulldozing ocean life and destroying precious ecosystems. A single trawl can create a sediment plume comparable in size to the entire Goat Island Marine Reserve, choking filter-feeding animals and smothering photosynthesising organisms.<\/p>\n\n<p>The \u2018Show Your Heart For The Hauraki\u2019 event comes as bottom contact fishing methods are increasingly criticised for contributing to ecosystem collapse in the Gulf, alongside a raft of other pressures including sedimentation and climate change.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cRemoving the pressure of bottom trawling is a no brainer. The Sea Change proposal \u2013 a collaborative plan to reverse the Gulf\u2019s decline \u2013 recommended the removal of bottom trawling, yet the Government has chosen to forge ahead with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mpi.govt.nz\/dmsdocument\/55972-AEBR-306-Exploring-the-use-of-spatial-decision-support-tools-to-identify-trawl-corridors-in-the-Hauraki-Gulf-Marine-Park\">leaving vast areas of the Gulf open to destruction<\/a>,\u201d says Ranson (see p60, Fig. 19).<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Says Hooper:<\/strong> \u201cTo turn things around for the Gulf and to allow this once abundant place to recover, bottom trawling has got to go. The time for action is now.<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cThis Marine Park was created over 20 years ago but the research shows that species are still in decline. This is because the action was nowhere near bold enough, and avoided tackling the key drivers of biodiversity loss.<br>\u201cIf the government wants to protect the Gulf for the future \u2013 enough with the half measures. We urge them to ban bottom trawling from the Marine Park, so we can all enjoy it in the future.\u201d<\/p>\n\t\t\t<section\n\t\t\tclass=\"boxout post-59310 \"\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\/petition\/hauraki-gulf-petition-ban-bottom-trawling\/\" \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\/2022\/09\/6316815d-save-the-hauraki-gulf-marine-park-1024x538.png\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\tsrcset=\"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-aotearoa-stateless\/2022\/09\/6316815d-save-the-hauraki-gulf-marine-park-600x315.png 600w, https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-aotearoa-stateless\/2022\/09\/6316815d-save-the-hauraki-gulf-marine-park-1024x538.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-aotearoa-stateless\/2022\/09\/6316815d-save-the-hauraki-gulf-marine-park-768x403.png 768w, https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-aotearoa-stateless\/2022\/09\/6316815d-save-the-hauraki-gulf-marine-park-510x268.png 510w, https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-aotearoa-stateless\/2022\/09\/6316815d-save-the-hauraki-gulf-marine-park.png 1200w\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\tsizes=\"(min-width: 1000px) 358px, (min-width: 780px) 313px, 88px\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\talt=\"\" title=\"\"\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\/petition\/hauraki-gulf-petition-ban-bottom-trawling\/\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tPETITION: Ban bottom trawling in the Hauraki Gulf\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\">Call upon the Minister for Oceans and Fisheries to ban all forms of mobile bottom-contact fishing including bottom trawling, scallop dredging and Danish seining within the Hauraki Gulf Marine Park.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t                                    <a\n                        class=\"btn btn-primary\"\n                        data-ga-category=\"Take Action Boxout\"\n                        data-ga-action=\"Call to Action\"\n                        data-ga-label=\"n\/a\"\n                        href=\"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/aotearoa\/petition\/hauraki-gulf-petition-ban-bottom-trawling\/\"\n                        \n                    >\n                        Sign the petition\n                    <\/a>\n                \t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/section>\n\t\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-aotearoa-stateless\/2023\/04\/0d834579-gp0stw5hd_medium_res_with_credit_line-1024x576.jpg\" title=\"A group of people with hands up in air, kayaks lined up in front, Rangitoto and ocean is behind them.\" alt=\"Kayakers against bottom trawling.
