GRPOV: You’re looking at a deep-sea world that’s never been seen by humans - until now.
This seamount is home to diverse and vibrant corals and sponges - but it’s under threat. New Zealand is currently the last nation still bottom trawling this area.
We need to protect these 100-year-old giants before they’re gone. It’s time to close this seamount to destructive fishing and create a permanent sanctuary.
This is how to protect a seamount.
📢 SHARE this video to spread the word. 📢 TELL the Govt to stop bottom trawling, and support Global Ocean Sanctuaries!

GENew Zealand is the only country that still bottom trawls it’s seamounts- seamounts are essentially underwater mountains formed by volcanic activity, and act as biodiversity hotspots- providing essential habitats for corals, sponges, and other marine life. They are often called underwater oases, due to the immense amount of marine life they support!
And New Zealand is bottom trawling them, which destroys the ecosystem, and leaves only rubble behind in its place.
In the deep sea, things move at a much slower place, and deep sea ecosystems are home to long lived, extremely slow growing animals and organisms (such as deep sea corals, that take decades or even centuries to mature). 🪸
Right now, @jonoridler is swimming the length of the North Island as a call to stop bottom trawling, I’m not a good swimmer- but I’m right there with him (in spirit and in message, please don’t make me swim). 🏊♂️
Head to the link in my bio to sign the petition to stop bottom trawling in New Zealand waters, and come cheer Jono on when he swims into a bay near you- I’ll be there when he gets to Wellington, and I hope everyone else will be too!
Follow @itsliveocean and @jonoridler to follow this insane journey, we’re with you every stroke of the way Jono!

GE180+ fish species, 400 species of seaweed, 37 coastal bird species, countless other marine species (sponges, shellfish, crayfish, anemones), 70 million litres of raw sewage for 7 days.
490 million + litres of raw sewage from the Moa Point plant so far, and counting.. for weeks, for months.
1 protected marine reserve. You do the math.
I wanted to share some of my favourite photos I’ve taken of one of the most biodiverse places I’ve ever had the pleasure of visiting, the south coast and Taputeranga marine reserve is my favourite place in the world. For me it beats the coral reefs of Australia, the marine megafauna of Indonesia, and even the fish life found further north in New Zealand. This may be a personal bias, as I whakapapa to Wellington, and to the south coast moana, but if you’ve ever visited the underwater world here you’ll know how vibrant and full of life it is.
I’ve seen a lot of comments about how sewage is good for marine life, and how the currents will wash it away any way- we can’t clear up the ocean right now, so let’s clear up these perceptions instead, the main issue is that sewage causes oxygen depletion and algal blooms.
Sewage is rich in nutrients like nitrogen and phosphorous, these fuel rapid algae growth, blocking sunlight. When the algae die, they use up dissolved oxygen- creating hypoxia or ‘dead zone’ conditions, this suffocates marine life.
Can the moana handle some waste- yes, our taiao is resilient and strong- can she handle 70 million litres a day at a constant rate, for weeks, for months?
That’s the question, and it shouldn’t be one we have to ask. This could be devastating for this gorgeous and diverse ecosystem, and all the creatures that call it home.

COFragile eco-system. A marine reserve. And a group of 5 tutumairekurai Hector’s Dolphins - the smallest oceanic dolphins in the world. They are Nationally vulnerable. And Internationally important. #Akaroa #marinereserve

NEOne of the incredible things about New Zealand is that we are still discovering new species out there.
It’s part of the theme we’re leaning into for New Zealand Conservation Stories in 2026. There is still mystery out there.
Here are four species that were discovered or formally described in the last decade.
The Whenua Hou diving petrel was described in 2018 on Whenua Hou, also known as Codfish Island, one of the most intensively studied islands in New Zealand and home to the kākāpō. Despite decades of intensive conservation work there, a new species of diving petrel was identified in 2018.
The Muriwai gecko was recognised as a distinct species in 2016. It lives on the west coast of the North Island, within an hour of Auckland, our most populated city.
The Australasian narrow-nosed spookfish was described in 2024 from deep waters around New Zealand and Australia. Located on the Chathams Rise, about 750 kilometres east of New Zealand’s coastline, the species is notable for its extremely elongated snout, which can account for up to half of its total body length and is thought to have evolved to help it detect and capture prey.
And the Occultastella morgana wētā was also described in 2024, adding to the growing list of newly recognised invertebrates from New Zealand’s less explored habitats. The species, recognised for its dark body and distinctive white flame like markings on its head, was first discovered in 2012 in the coal measure soils of the Denniston Plateau. Since then, it has also been found in two other areas of the North West South Island.

CONZ is one of the worst countries in the world when it comes to effective marine protection.
We can do better than this. Out of sight, out of mind is not good enough.

Thank you to all who fought tirelessly to create the treasure that is the Akaroa Marine Reserve.
From our daily observations over the past almost 12 years, since the marine reserve opened, we are seeing more frequent sightings of the Hector’s dolphins within the marine reserve, a powerful reminder of what long-term commitment and community action can achieve.

Thank you to the team at Pōhatu Penguins/plunge for letting us share their beautiful video from 2024 which captures the bond between like~minded, conservation~passionate people working together.
We are proud to be part of a community that brought this to fruition ✨

SE"To say that the commercial fishing industry is responsible for the decline in biodiversity and ecosystems in the Gulf is simply wrong. ... Putting the blame at our feet is completely unfair and I reject that."
Seafood New Zealand Chief Executive Lisa Futschek joined @amandagilliesnz for @rnznewzealand and @newsroomnz's latest The Detail podcast this week to discuss the mauri of the Hauraki Gulf and why New Zealand's fishing industry has been made an unfair scapegoat for the impacts of problems like climate change or land-based pollution.

NGIf you’ve ever wondered how a fish surveys day looks like. Here it is!
Late February through March is a key monitoring window in the upper Wairua catchment 💧
Water levels are lower and more stable, giving us a clearer picture of:
• Species presence
• Habitat condition
• Fish passage effectiveness
• Overall ecosystem health
Using fyke nets, minnow traps and electrofishing methods, our kaitiaki carefully survey tuna and other freshwater species - identifying, measuring and safely releasing them.
But these surveys don’t stand alone.
Later in the year, when tuna heke begins and our tuna migrate downstream 🌊, we’re back again - monitoring that movement.
And we ask:
Are those tuna pīpī we saw earlier still here?
Are they growing?
Is the awa supporting them?
This is seasonal, intergenerational monitoring 🔁
Same places. Year after year.
Mātauranga Māori guides where and why we look.
Science helps us measure what’s changing.
All for our mokopuna 💙
