This includes monitoring fish populations, making sure observers are on boats, and researching the impacts fishing is having on the wider ocean environment.<\/p>\n\n<p>The same day, Shane Jones announced a bill that will extend coastal permits for marine farms by 20 years &#8211; with few or no environmental monitoring conditions.<\/p>\n\n<p>Greenpeace oceans campaigner Ellie Hooper says it\u2019s no secret that Jones is a self-proclaimed \u2018apostle of industry\u2019 and raised concerns that reduced levies and unchecked marine farm consents would have impacts on an already struggling ocean.<\/p>\n\n<p>&#8220;New Zealanders want a healthy, thriving ocean, but time and time again, we see an Oceans and Fisheries Minister that caves to industry interests, prioritising private commercial gain over the wellbeing of the oceans,&#8221; says Hooper.<\/p>\n\n<p>&#8220;All of us depend on a healthy ocean &#8211; because it mitigates climate change, supports the vast majority of biodiversity on our planet, and feeds communities. It is not simply a commercial resource; it is of integral importance to the well-being of people and the planet.<\/p>\n\n<p>&#8220;We know that things like onboard observers, which the levies contribute to, increase transparency and keep commercial fishers accountable about what happens out at sea, including when rare corals, fur seals, dolphins and seabirds like albatross are netted and killed.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n<p>The cut to levies will also affect research and monitoring of fish numbers and other species and habitats impacted by commercial fishing.<\/p>\n\n<p>&#8220;Cutting levies that pay for monitoring, research and compliance, and the unchecked extension of aquaculture consents, is reckless and shows that Luxon\u2019s anti-nature Government sees the ocean as something to be exploited, with no respect or regard for the life that depends on it.<\/p>\n\n<p>&#8220;If the government really cared about healthy oceans, they would act to protect marine life and listen to the public. New Zealanders overwhelmingly want destructive bottom trawling banned from where it does the most harm, like on seamounts and in the Hauraki Gulf, and they support cameras on the full commercial fishing fleet.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n<p><span style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 0px;\"><em>Independent polling shows that\u00a0<\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/greenpeace.nz\/horizon-polling-2024?_gl=1-17cd1br-_gcl_aw-R0NMLjE3MjIyMDEyMzIuQ2p3S0NBancySmUxQmhBZ0Vpd0FwM0tZNy01Y193R29fcU9TMDk3Q1NTd3hPeEswYllveW5VTXFtekVENFlaQmtfLUZCTXAyTjlCYWxSb0MtcllRQXZEX0J3RQ..-_gcl_dc-R0NMLjE3MTgxNDYyNzYuQ2p3S0NBanc2NS16QmhCa0Vpd0FqcnFSTUs4Qnp3YzZMd0NuanduQUJ0bWdDaDFtdjlORU1QMW1aN0RDcmZLOVJvbXpFR2s3MjdGbVRCb0NXcUlRQXZEX0J3RQ..-_gcl_au-NDc2NzIxNTQ1LjE3MjI1MzcwMTU.-_ga-MTIwOTgxMjYxNy4xNzIyNTM2OTkz-_ga_LPZV6V47VZ-MTcyNDgxMzk0My45Ni4xLjE3MjQ4MTQyMTAuMC4wLjA.-_fplc-cmNKbkx4YmRQVXpQTWtudUtsaG1va0s0b281VTByb1JSR2UyZGxLVVQ4SGJ1cjYlMkYzNzMlMkIwcTFrNmlSdmpLMm9DRnNpOXhPdVVoSnpUSWVYeU12NmtYV0J0eHdHbkd1cTNrU0xWTU5Ja3M2UHdTeG44MUtFSk9KQzhhQTRnUSUzRCUzRA..-_ga_M36JJSTRVW-MTcyNDgxMzk0My45Ni4xLjE3MjQ4MTQxOTkuMC4wLjA.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">80% of people polled\u00a0<\/a><em>&#8211; including 80% of National voters and 78% of NZ First voters &#8211; say they support cameras on boats, and almost 80% of people agree that the Government should ban bottom trawling on these seamounts.<\/em><\/span><em>\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n\t\t\t<section\n\t\t\tclass=\"boxout post-15252 \"\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\/petition-cameras-on-boats-to-protect-the-oceans\/\" \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\/75964dbc-pablo-heimplatz-kh27ehp3q0q-unsplash-1024x683.jpg\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\tsrcset=\"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-aotearoa-stateless\/2020\/11\/75964dbc-pablo-heimplatz-kh27ehp3q0q-unsplash-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-aotearoa-stateless\/2020\/11\/75964dbc-pablo-heimplatz-kh27ehp3q0q-unsplash-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-aotearoa-stateless\/2020\/11\/75964dbc-pablo-heimplatz-kh27ehp3q0q-unsplash-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-aotearoa-stateless\/2020\/11\/75964dbc-pablo-heimplatz-kh27ehp3q0q-unsplash-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-aotearoa-stateless\/2020\/11\/75964dbc-pablo-heimplatz-kh27ehp3q0q-unsplash-2048x1366.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-aotearoa-stateless\/2020\/11\/75964dbc-pablo-heimplatz-kh27ehp3q0q-unsplash-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=\"\" 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\/petition-cameras-on-boats-to-protect-the-oceans\/\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tPETITION: Cameras on boats to protect the oceans\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 on the NZ Govt to commit to implementing cameras on the whole commercial fishing fleet.
