Greenpeace Aotearora activists stop Talley’s Amaltal Columbia from leaving Nelson Port to carry out destructive bottom trawling.
When trawl nets are dragged over seamounts and other vulnerable areas they turn precious coral into rubble and kill ocean life from sharks to fur seals, dolphins and seabirds - it must stop.
New Zealand is the last country still bottom trawling in the High Seas of the Tasman - including in an area flagged for protection.
