新西兰保护部长塔马·波塔卡提议了一项法案,以大幅扩大豪拉基湾的海洋保护区。 New Zealand's Conservation Minister Tama Potaka has proposed a bill to significantly expand protected marine areas in the Hauraki Gulf. 包括Coromandel MP Scott Simpson和Scott Lee渔民在内的批评者认为,它未能解决海底拖网捕捞等破坏性捕捞做法。 While it aims to triple the protected space, allowing limited ring-net fishing for select local fishers, critics, including Coromandel MP Scott Simpson and fisherman Scott Lee, argue it fails to address destructive fishing practices like bottom trawling. 他们认为立法可能会危及海湾生态系统的健康。 They believe the legislation may jeopardize the health of the gulf's ecosystems.
