This triggered a rule under the South Pacific Regional Fisheries Management Organisation (SPRFMO), to temporarily close the area.<\/p>\n\n<p>Under SPRFMO, the best available information is meant to be provided on the nature of an encounter such as this, and Greenpeace has offered to go and document the site as part of their Seamounts Expedition, due to commence in March 2025.<\/p>\n\n<p>But requests from Greenpeace for the coordinates of the area were declined by the New Zealand Government due to \u2018commercial sensitivity\u2019. The Australian SPRFMO Commissioner has now released these coordinates in response to requests from the expedition\u2019s Lead Researcher.<\/p>\n\n<p>Greenpeace\u2019s Ellie Hooper is calling the New Zealand government\u2019s refusal to share the coordinates \u201cludicrous\u201d and&nbsp; \u201ca blatant example of the Luxon led government running interference for the fishing industry.\u201d<br><br>Hooper says: \u201cIn collaboration with scientists, we\u2019re heading out to the deep ocean to survey vital habitats so we can see what lives there and how that life is being impacted by bottom trawling, including hopefully surveying this impacted site.<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cWe want to add to our collective understanding of these deep sea ecosystems, about which so little is known, and to shine a light in the dark.<br><br>\u201cThese coordinates have already been shared with all fishing companies and&nbsp; SPRFMO countries, so why is the information being hidden?<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cAustralia clearly has a more progressive and transparent approach when it comes to deep-sea management, and has provided us with the opportunity to go to this area and attempt to survey it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n<p>Seamounts and other underwater hills and knolls are ocean lifelines, often home to diverse coral and sponges, and are key breeding grounds for fish and feeding spots for migrating whales.<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cThe main threat to these ecosystems is bottom trawling,\u201d says Hooper.<\/p>\n\n<p>It\u2019s estimated that coral brought to the surface by trawlers is only a small fraction of what\u2019s destroyed on the seafloor.<sup>1<\/sup><br><br>Next week, Greenpeace Aotearoa will embark on its Seamounts Expedition, where deep sea cameras will be used to collect images and data of these ecosystems, and identify the species living on them.<br><br>\u201cTo make the most informed decisions on the ocean, we need more observation and science, something that appears to be being blocked by NZ,\u201d says Hooper. \u201cLess than 1% of the world\u2019s seamounts have been surveyed, and most of what we do know about these places is from what\u2019s dragged up dead in bottom trawl nets. That\u2019s a pretty sad reality.<br><br>\u201cWe\u2019re setting out to try and uncover some of the secrets of the deep, it\u2019s challenging work and we don\u2019t know exactly what we\u2018ll find &#8211; but we\u2019re committed to trying.\u201d<\/p>\n\n<p>New Zealand is the only country still bottom trawling in the high seas of the South Pacific and has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thepost.co.nz\/politics\/360581677\/nz-rebuked-behaviour-fisheries-forum\">faced criticism for blocking protection measures<\/a> at SPRFMO this month.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Notes:<\/strong><br>Coral in nets to destroyed on seafloor ratios:<br>1.
