Oh dear - I understand that CRP consulted with the Maoris, but did they forget the Mariori? Did they miss out on the koha - gravy - train or did the Green party just invest more to calibrate their conscience?

Fishing industry need to get real

Heaps more economic benefit in trawling up the ocean floor to extract whatever CRAP want than in trawling for fish - the multiple is quite high

I would have thought that Uranium would be a bonus. Kind of like finding diamonds in your Gold mine.

Smith's final comment in that article will hardly inspire confidence in the CRP camp.

Talk about hippocrites, the fishing industry have been raping the ocean and sea bed for years, a single bottom trawler would do hundreds time more damage then this ever would. Hopefully the epa will see them for the hippocrites they are.

Based on above and given the dust clouds raised by bottom trawling fishing gear, looks like the fishing industries “Deep water” group have just given the Greenies a very good argument for banning bottom trawling on the Chatham Rise.
