Bottom trawling Puysegur Bank, Aotearoa New Zealand

Resource - External link

The San Discovery (owned by Sanford Ltd) bottom trawls on the Puysegur Bank (an undersea bank) off the south coast of New Zealand’s South Island.

Puysegur Bank is a fragile and ecologically diverse area. Sea mounts such as this are being prioritised by conservation groups as the areas in most need of protection from bottom trawling.

Film the Trawlers have captured a series of images and videos of the San Discovery (owned by Sanford Ltd) bottom trawling on the Puysegur Bank (an undersea bank) off the south coast of New Zealand’s South Island.

The Dropbox download link you receive for this asset includes 13 image and video files.
