As a country, we\u2019re an outlier on this issue, flying in the face of the New Zealand public, who want bottom trawling banned from vulnerable areas, and the opinion of our international neighbours.<br><br>\u201cIf we want a healthy planet, and marine life to thrive, New Zealand must stop bottom trawling seamounts and other vulnerable areas in the South Pacific.\u201d<br><br>Last year Westfleet, which is partly owned by Sealord, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stuff.co.nz\/nelson-mail\/news\/132307427\/multimillion-dollar-fishing-vessel-forfeited-after-bottom-trawling-breach\">was fined over $52,000<\/a> and <em>The Tasman Viking<\/em> convicted following an incident where rare bamboo coral, pulled up in trawl nets, was illegally released overboard before a fisheries observer had a chance to properly document it.<br><br>The incident also happened in the Lord Howe Rise region, and despite the conviction, <em>The Tasman Viking<\/em>, was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thepost.co.nz\/politics\/350302612\/trawler-seized-dumping-coral-gets-new-permit\">given a new high seas trawling permit<\/a> in June 2024<\/p>\n\n<p>The waters around <a href=\"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/aotearoa\/story\/ocean-between-nz-and-australia-brimming-with-life-needs-protection\/\">Lord Howe Rise are rich and abundant<\/a>, and include a chain of seamounts or underwater mountains that are home to a variety of marine life from coral to whales and seabirds including the antipodean albatross.<\/p>\n\n<p>Greenpeace and allies are calling for one of the world\u2019s first global ocean sanctuaries to be created in this region, with the Australian government taking a step forward towards this goal in announcing a science symposium on the site for 2025.<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cWhile other nations are progressing with protecting the high seas from harm, New Zealand is dragging behind, still permitting bottom trawling in these precious areas, despite other countries pushing for them to be closed,\u201d says Hooper.<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cTo give the ocean a chance to recover and thrive, the New Zealand government must end the countries\u2019 bottom trawling operation in the South Pacific high seas, and get with the programme on protection.\u201d<br><br>Scientists agree that to help stave off the worst of the climate crisis at least <a href=\"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/aotearoa\/publication\/30x30-from-global-ocean-treaty-to-protection-at-sea\/#:~:text=It%20details%20how%20ocean%20warming,the%20world's%20oceans%20by%202030.\">30% of the world\u2019s oceans must be protected<\/a> from industrial harms by 2030. Creating global ocean sanctuaries in international waters, those areas outside of any one country&#8217;s jurisdiction, will play a crucial role in achieving this 30&#215;30 goal.<br><br>A recent <a href=\"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/aotearoa\/publication\/achieving-the-30x30-target-through-the-global-ocean-treaty\/\">report released by Greenpeace International<\/a> shows that urgent action is needed to create marine protected areas.
