Bottom Trawling from a Commercial Fisherman's Perspective

from RNZ - All Programmes

Bottom trawling has been a big topic of conversation this week. On Tuesday we spoke to Caitlin from the WWF about its poll showing almost half of New Zealanders think bottom trawling is the biggest threat to the ocean. Today we're following that up with a commercial fisherman's perspective. Tony Roach is the owner and skipper of a 76 gross tonne trawler.
