Greenpeace activists chain themselves to the Belize flagged Chang Xing - in Port Nelson. The activists prevented the ship from leaving Port and is part of the on going campaign to achieve an international moratorium on bottom trawling in International waters. For more information

Bottom trawling is the Worlds most destructive fishing practice and involves dragging large nets with metal roller along the ocean floor.

Currently the UN is discussing the issue and is going to make a decision later in the year. Our Government is not currently supporting a moratorium and needs a prod. Send an e-card to our Government. Good on the Greens for also running with this issue and Metiria Turei's asked some good questions to Fisheries Minister Jim Anderton.

I was published in Salient today on this issue with an article entitled. How Low Can They Go?
