Today the government announced a huge orange roughy allowable catch reduction in the collapsed Eastern South Chatham Rise fishery. 🐟

This is a step in the right direction, but still doesn't go far enough.

The fact that the Minister is now considering closing parts of the ocean to protect spawning fish is a significant shift. ✊

Our demand is for all seamounts to be off-limits for bottom trawling. 🪸
