Green Party's Healthy Oceans Act w/ Ellie Hooper from Green Peace: September 11th 2023

Yesterday the Green party announced their Healthy Oceans Act where they have set out a target to protect 30% of the ocean by 2030. 

This will mean banning fishing, mining, and other harmful industries from a third of the oceans. 

Rawan spoke to Ellie Hooper, Oceans campaigner at Green Peace Aotearoa about why this policy is important. 

They talked about enforcement and consequences, the response from Seafood New Zealand and compared the Green’s Policy to Labour’s proposal last week to partially ban Bottom trawling from the Hauraki gulf.

That was Ellie Hooper from Green Peace Aotearoa talking about the Green party’s Healthy oceans act
