Hon DAVID PARKER (Minister for Oceans and Fisheries): Merry Christmas to the member and the House. The Government opposes destructive and unsustainable fishing methods that harm vulnerable marine habitats. As such, I've received advice on a range of matters relating to the impacts of bottom trawling in New Zealand waters, including the management of benthic impacts of mobile bottom-contact fishing gear in the Hauraki Gulf Marine Park, as part of the advice received on revitalising the Gulf. Trawling's going to be limited to defined corridors. In addition, we have proposals to prohibit bottom trawling in parts of the Bay of Islands and the nearby coastline as parts of appeals on the proposed Northland regional plan, and we have the formation of a collaborative forum with stakeholders to recommend management measures for bottom trawling in the exclusive economic zone. Work on that will begin in the coming months.
