| Fisheries New Zealand and Seafood NZ are expecting to use public taxpayer money to subsidise ongoing bulk harvesting in the form of at the very minimum using 46 million dollars to invest in new bottom trawl and other bulk harvest fishing vessels.
 
It’s time for change. After 37 years, if the fishing industry hasn’t generated enough profit to upgrade its own fleet, it’s high time to replace the failing Quota Management System and reassess how that industry is operated in general.
Let the Minister of Oceans and Fisheries, Rachel Brooking, know how you feel about the latest plan.
You can have your say here. |
