Now is not the time to further weaken protection measures by bowing to fishing industry pressure.\u201d<br><br>Greenpeace is also calling for a ban on bottom trawling in the Hauraki Gulf Marine Park as the new Bill still allows the destructive fishing method to continue in large areas of the Gulf.<br><br>\u201cBottom trawling is the worst of the worst when it comes to commercial fishing methods, and there is no place for it to continue in a marine park where ocean life is struggling,\u201d says Parada.<br><br>Last year, hundreds of people joined a flotilla organised by Greenpeace and Forest
