Of that total coral capture, 99% of it came from bottom trawling, and 86% occurred in areas that correlate with this same orange roughy fishery.<\/p>\n\n<p>Thomas says: \u201cNobody wants a dead, empty ocean. But to avoid that we need the government to put ocean health first, ban bottom trawling on seamounts, and give these areas a shot at recovery.\u201d<\/p>\n\n<p>Greenpeace and the Deep Sea Conservation Coalition are calling for all seamounts and features within Aotearoa to be closed to bottom trawling. 80,000 people have signed a petition calling for the same. A public consultation on the issue is imminent.<\/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
