A New Zealand bottom trawler has hauled up 37 kilograms of coral while fishing in international waters, triggering an immediate suspension of all fishing in the area until at least 2026.

Conservationists have called the incident “shameful”, but the Oceans and Fisheries Minister Shane Jones called the closure order “severe” and downplayed the event, telling the Herald, “I wouldn’t fuss about it”.
