Deep Sea Mining, dark oxygen and "some cosmic twist of irony" as reported in mining.com.au of all places. mining.com.au/opinion-deep-s…

Seabed mining our iron sands - rejected all the way the supreme court, but then regurgitated onto the table by this rag-tag coalition government of extractivists and their fast track plot. theguardian.com/world/article/…

NZ government rolls out the red carpet to fast-track seabed mining, so companies that have been refused permission by the Supreme Court come back with bigger and worse plans. newsroom.co.nz/2024/09/03/sea…

Overfishing baked into New Zealand fisheries management: Three options from Fisheries NZ allow orange roughy to keep declining to as low as 10%, one option would halt decline (just) none of the options see any increase over 5 yrs. #StopTrawlingSeamounts newsroom.co.nz/2024/09/20/no-…

Taranaki community protests NZ Govt attempt to 'fast track' seabed mining that's already been rejected by highest court in the land. “This community is bigger than a party, we are not here for a three-year term, we are here forever.” KASM Te Pāti Māori stuff.co.nz/nz-news/350430…

Excellent podcast from The Detail ~ sadly the title says it all about NZ govt's attitude to ocean health: Protecting our fishers from conservation efforts. Instead, we need to #DefendTheDeep @AlexiaRussell3 Andrew Bevin Kayla Kingdon-Bebb Bianca Ranson Deep Sea Conservation Coalition

Against advice from his own officials, NZ Minister of Oceans & Fisheries (actually, screw the ocean, just fisheries) tries to put his dodgy decisions above the law & divorce catch limits from environmental damage. Deranged & ego-maniacal spring to mind. newsroom.co.nz/2025/08/27/off…

Bottom trawling fish that can live for two centuries, off from seamounts where they go to breed, and "oops" also dragging up corals that can be thousands of years old (sometimes tonnes at a time)... New Zealand sustainable fisheries my arse. dialogue.earth/en/ocean/insid…

Local government in Aotearoa is stepping up on behalf of the kiwi people to protect our ocean from bottom trawling, meanwhile the government and trawl industry are hell-bent on keeping this last-century fishing method afloat. greenpeace.org/aotearoa/press…
