We’re in the depths of winter now, but our team are hotly anticipating important fisheries decisions from Minister Rachel Brooking.

There’s sufficient information available to make precautionary decisions, so stand by. Will the Minister allow bottom trawling to continue in the Hauraki Gulf? Will New Zealanders have to subsidise a new trawl fleet? And does seabed mining have a future in Taranaki? A lot of important decisions for the Government to make.
