As the article shows, what happens here with orange roughy is being watched by others around the world - due to both the destructive nature of- bottom trawling and the overfishing of orange roughy that has taken place. It's time Aotearoa NZ learns from the past and gets this right. #orangeroughy

Apropos of that ...

Seems the OrangeRoughy* doesn't know how to spell "Tuffy" either

*A pun based on the name of a type of (very tasty) fish once found in abundance in the seas around New Zealand that has been overfished to bits by massive factory trawlers doing massive factory trawler shit

Next week we’re taking the Minister for Oceans and Fisheries to Court over the highly destructive impacts of bottom trawling.

We will argue that the Minister failed to uphold the law in the management of our orange roughy fisheries.
