A plan to keep on bottom trawling! Legasea's submission form is a chance to have your say.

The government's latest fisheries plan proposes to use millions of dollars of public money to invest in new, more powerful trawling vessels, meaning more low-value exports and more damage to the marine environment.  
The Draft Fisheries Industry Transformation Plan, created by Fisheries New Zealand in conjunction with Seafood NZ and other commercial seafood bodies, is full of greenwash supposedly aimed at convincing us that it's worthwhile investing our hard-earned cash in a virtually bankrupt commercial fisheries sector.  

Deadline - 5.00pm, Sunday 11 June.

Have you say here.
