Entire ocean communities have been devastated. What happens beneath the waves doesn\u2019t stay there\u2014when we lose biodiversity in the sea, we lose part of what sustains life on land as well.<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cWe cannot continue turning a blind eye. It\u2019s time to restore the mauri\u2014the life force\u2014of the Gulf, and honour our responsibility to future generations. Ending bottom trawling in and around the Hauraki Gulf isn\u2019t just a conservation decision. It\u2019s a moral one.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p>Gulf advocate Shaun Lee says the Minister of Oceans and Fisheries \u201cneeds to listen to 97.2% of 8,909 submitters who have asked for a full ban on bottom impact fishing in the Gulf\u201d.<br><br>LegaSea spokesperson Benn Winlove says he is disappointed the Minister for Oceans and Fisheries is willing to ignore such strong public sentiment against bottom trawling.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cPublic opposition to environmental destruction is growing and it\u2019s incredible that a Minister in charge of ensuring sustainability of fish populations and their habitat is willing to let bottom trawling continue in the Gulf, let alone in the Marine Park.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p>Bianca Ranson, Forest &amp; Bird&#8217;s National Conservation Advocate, says:<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cNinety- seven percent  of submitters have called for a complete ban of bottom impact fishing in the Hauraki Gulf yet the Minister of Oceans and Fisheries, Shane Jones, mocks T\u012bkapa Moana calling it \u2018just a mud-stained bottom\u2019. That is an insult to every living thing that depends on this ocean and to future generations who deserve thriving ecosystems abundant with life. <br><br>&#8220;It is the trawling that has ripped up the seafloor turning vibrant thriving ecosystems into lifeless mud. Every year, massive weighted nets are dragged across the seafloor of T\u012bkapa Moana, killing all life in its path, destroying nurseries for fish, and choking the seabed in suffocating plumes of sedimentation. It&#8217;s time to end bottom trawling.\u201d<br><br>Greenpeace oceans campaigner Juan Parada says:<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cOver a century of destructive bottom trawling has pushed species in T\u012bkapa Moana &#8211; Hauraki Gulf to the brink, and time and time again the government has bowed to industry pressure and allowed trawling to continue. The public mandate for change is clear: there is no place in a precious marine park for destructive bottom trawling.\u201d<\/p>\n\n<p>Bottom trawling is a fishing method that involves dragging heavy nets over the seafloor to catch fish, stirring up sediment, releasing carbon and indiscriminately killing marine life.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"599\" src=\"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-aotearoa-stateless\/2023\/06\/e2499145-gp0stw5gg_web_size.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-60319\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-aotearoa-stateless\/2023\/06\/e2499145-gp0stw5gg_web_size.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-aotearoa-stateless\/2023\/06\/e2499145-gp0stw5gg_web_size-600x449.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-aotearoa-stateless\/2023\/06\/e2499145-gp0stw5gg_web_size-768x575.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-aotearoa-stateless\/2023\/06\/e2499145-gp0stw5gg_web_size-454x340.jpg 454w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">A flotilla of crafts, from fishing boats and yachts to kayaks and stand up paddle boards, surrounding a floating \u2018ban bottom trawling\u2019 banner at Mission Bay in Auckland, New Zealand in a show of opposition to bottom trawling in the Hauraki Gulf marine park. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n<p>This is not the first time the massive banner has been used.
