We challenged the Minister of Oceans and Fisheries’ decision to only close part of northern hoiho habitat to setnet fishing, when the entire population is at risk of extinction.

While the Court found that the RMA precluded our judicial review claim, it agreed with us - that the Council’s nitrate pollution rule was based on an error of law. We are now appealing parts of the decision.

We took the Minister to court for the destructive impacts of bottom trawling and the overfishing orange roughy.  We are now awaiting the court’s decision.
