New Zealand's environmental leadership questioned

NZ Herald:

New Zealand is in danger of losing its status as a world leader in managing fisheries, says the researcher behind a new documentary on overfishing.

Charles Clover, a former environment editor at Britain's Daily Telegraph newspaper, says New Zealand's reputation is under threat from its orange roughy catch and an almost complete lack of knowledge about the health of many of its fisheries.

I might add that New Zealand has been less than helpful in the negotiations on to ban blue fish tuna fishing, demanding instead an increased quota for itself!
