温暖的海洋正在新西兰向南驱赶鱼类,破坏渔业,促使监管发生变化。
Warming oceans are driving fish south in New Zealand, disrupting fisheries and prompting regulatory changes.
海洋和渔业部长西恩·琼斯警告说,海水变暖,比全球平均水平上升34%,正在导致象松鼠和约翰·多里这样的鱼类向南迁移到新西兰的南岛,破坏传统的捕鱼模式。
Oceans and Fisheries Minister Shane Jones warned that warming ocean waters, rising 34% faster than the global average, are causing fish species like snapper and john dory to migrate south to New Zealand’s South Island, disrupting traditional fishing patterns.
他指出,由于船只捕获可征税的无利可图的鱼,经济面临挑战,并强调需要制定灵活的规章,以适应情况。
He noted economic challenges as vessels catch unprofitable fish subject to levies, and stressed the need for flexible regulations to adapt.
Jones还证实,由于过度开发和公众需求,计划在北兰东海岸禁止龙虾捕捞,强调以科学为基础的可持续管理。
Jones also confirmed a planned ban on crayfish fishing along Northland’s east coast due to overexploitation and public demand, emphasizing science-based, sustainable management.
他说,气候变化已不再在政治上造成分歧,在生态保护和经济需求之间取得平衡仍然是一个优先事项。
He said climate change is no longer politically divisive and that balancing ecological protection with economic needs remains a priority.
