But environmentalists say the closures don\u2019t go far enough.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p>Greenpeace says while it\u2019s pleased to see the Minister for Oceans and Fisheries finally recognise seamount protection as vital, they add that permanent protection of these ecosystems is what\u2019s required to protect fish populations and vulnerable coral habitats.<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s great that the penny has finally dropped,\u201d says Greenpeace ocean campaigner, Ellie Hooper<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cSeamounts are vital habitats that require protection, whether you\u2019re looking at fish numbers or the important coral species that live there. Yet every year New Zealand bottom trawlers smash seamounts in their bid to catch breeding orange roughy. It is no surprise that after decades of bulldozing coral and spooking spawning fish, we are seeing a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/aotearoa\/press-release\/key-orange-roughy-population-on-verge-of-collapse-government-considers-closure\/\">drastic decline in these fish numbers<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cBut temporary closures are the ambulance at the bottom of the cliff. What\u2019s needed is proactive, precautionary, preventive action &#8211; closing all seamounts to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/aotearoa\/story\/what-is-bottom-trawling-and-why-is-it-bad-for-the-environment\/\">bottom trawling <\/a>&#8211; to ensure long term health of the ocean and everything in it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n<p>A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mpi.govt.nz\/dmsdocument\/70806-FAR-202546-Stock-assessment-of-Chatham-Rise-orange-roughy-in-2025\">2025 scientific stock assessment<\/a> revealed populations in the Chatham Rise, the world\u2019s largest orange roughy fishery (ORH 3B) were plummeting. Models showed orange roughy numbers could be as low as 8-18% of their original population size.<br><br>Karli Thomas, from the Deep Sea Conservation Coalition, says it\u2019s well established that protecting seamounts and similar features from bottom trawling is vital for ensuring healthy oceans and abundant fisheries.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cThe importance of seamounts is acknowledged in this decision, but the closures announced today only give an annual six week reprieve from trawling. This leaves deep-sea coral reefs at risk from destructive bottom trawling for the other 46 weeks of every year.<br><br>\u201cImagine how this fishery, which is on the verge of collapse, and the coral habitats of the deep could rebuild if seamounts were permanently closed to trawlers. Biodiversity could return, spawning fish be protected, and their increased numbers spillover into the surrounding area, having a long term benefit for all.\u201d<\/p>\n\n<p>Orange roughy are a slow growing species that reach breeding maturity late, making them especially vulnerable to overfishing. They were fished to collapse in the \u201890s, and rebuilding this Chatham Rise population from where it stands today is expected to take decades.<\/p>\n\n<p>Barry Weeber for ECO says it&#8217;s time to learn from the lessons of the past and get serious about permanently protecting all orange roughy spawning areas including on seamounts and features.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cWe have already lost important orange roughy spawning areas on the Chatham Rise, East Coast of the North Island, and on the edge of the Challenger plateau.\u201d<br><br>Internationally, it\u2019s recommended that vulnerable marine ecosystems like seamounts be closed to bottom trawling because of their fragility, complexity and slow-growing nature.<br>Greenpeace, ECO&nbsp; and other members of the DSCC are calling for bottom trawling to be banned on all seamounts and similar features to allow ocean life to recover and thrive.<\/p>\n\n<p>Over 100,000 New Zealanders have signed petitions calling for a ban on bottom trawling on seamounts in domestic waters and the high seas of the South Pacific &#8211; where New Zealand is the last country to conduct the practice.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The New Zealand Government has announced temporary seamount closures in the world\u2019s largest orange roughy fishery, following news that deep sea fish numbers are plummeting.
