FISHING UPGRADES NEWS 13th JANUARY 2012
It could be helpful if Maritime NZ whizzes up ”a usable and practical definition of this term ‘machinery spaces’” for the fishing industry and boats fishing commercially within NZ waters, said Sanford.
What’s involved: “Aotearoa New Zealand has a 200 nautical mile exclusive economic zone. The zone covers 4.1 million square kilometres making the ocean zone the sixth largest in the world. The area is fourteen times that of the country consisting of over 15,000 marine species. This is about 10% of the world’s diversity. Aotearoa New Zealand’s isolation reveals that species are indigenous to the region too.”

FISH & FISHERIES & OMEGA3 – 21st MOST VOTED STAR TOPIC 2012
2012 was a year of interesting fish facts in the quest for Omega3 supply chain needs.
The fisheries section on this website was keenly read. Some other headlines I didn’t include yet could have, involved these key words:
Almost 40000 sturgeon fish are kept in the village of Frutigen, producing caviar which retails for 2500 euros per kilogram.
A hghly effective probiotic, ProBioLife, establishing the health benefits of kiwifruit, and a technology that allows high doses of fish oil-derived protein.
China already consumes a quarter of the world’s seafood and with Chinese imports of fish and shellfish expected to triple over the next eight years. Sanford embraces the market. 
NORTHLAND MAKES MOVES TO PROTECT KAIPAPARA HARBOUR, NZ’S BIGGEST SNAPPER NURSERY

Streams and rivers feed into the Kaipara thus protections are being put in place to protect the resource from farming groups. New legislation in Northland involves 37 codes of recommends for protection of the resource.

I AM DETERMINED – FOMA’S 25th ANNIVERSARY, TAUPO – TAKING $10b MAORI ASSETS TO THE NEXT LEVEL OF GROWTH
Lake Taupo.
FOMA has been working to expand the Māori economy for 25 years. It’s members have a $10b asset base. Here’s a quote from the Chair: “It is essential the Maori business network actively participates in the fundamental development of New Zealand’s economy. Maori economic development and its contribution to the growth of this country must continue to be realised and I am determined to facilitate this growth through the provision of a robust networking capability within our membership.” –Tangata Whenua news.
Their anniversary was celebrated at Rauhoto Marae in Taupo today.
Young Hinerangi Goodman was there to showcase the hope Maori entrepreneurs have as corporate entities in the collective of community thinkers.
Some facts: Forestry and fishing are two industries that Maori could develop quite well into more innovative ways. Maori could also diversify capital from these too – into new arenas of business expansion.
Watch Traci Houpapa in the clip who makes it all sound so exciting. So beautiful with a refreshing spirit too. Inspiring stuff.

WOULD PAPUA NEW GUINEA MAKE A GOOD BLUE FIN TUNA CAPITAL OF THE WORLD?
Canning Blue Fin Tuna TV: Decades of over-fishing by the tuna industry are pushing the species to the edge.
Fifty years ago, the world fished 400,000 tonnes of tuna annually. It’s now nearer four million. In Papua New Guinea, the impact is severe on people. Indigenous tribes are seeing their fishing grounds depleted and their ancestral land taken away to make way for multinational corporations.
This film questions whether the corporations’ ambition to make PNG the tuna capital of the world will mean greater prosperity or a loss of generations of tradition.—Syndey Morning Herald has video link here.

AQUACULTURE ENTREPRENEURS NEW ZEALAND ARE EXPECTED TO BOOM IN SALES ABROAD
US billionaire Julian Robertson said in a live cross interview on TV yesterday that what excites him the most about New Zealand is tourism and agriculture.
Both areas are quite exciting to see evolving from New Zealand.
For others aquaculture in New Zealand is the draw.
Aquaculture New Zealand Gary Hooper notes, ”The $400 million aquaculture industry – which is aiming to hit an annual revenue of $1 billion by 2025 – will gather in Nelson this week for its annual conference.
Hooper said he was all for marine reserves and conservation. “But we’re still a country that needs to grow its economy and aquaculture has this tremendous potential to contribute to that,” he said. Aquiculture’s “had some economic rigour applied to it.”
Hooper said reaching the realistic $1 billion mark required securing additional water space, increased productivity and exporting more value-added products.

SALMON FARMING NEEDED IF ANTARCTIC MARINE RESERVE ZONING IS A REALITY
Salmon farming is a way to turn agricultural product into fish.
For it to work, you need a good water supply to grow crops. The crops, you turn into fish.
Waters Rich Antarctic News: New Zealand and the United States are in chats to to brainstorm the creation of an historic marine protection area in Antarctica’s Ross Sea.
The head of the US delegation at the Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR) meeting in Hobart says both countries are aware they will need to compromise if an agreement is to be reached.
The meeting is hoping to establish the world’s largest marine protection area (MPA). Competing plans for the Ross Sea are in discussion. The New Zealand plan is for a larger area but the US proposal is favoured by environmental groups because it puts more restrictions on fishing.
New Zealand is anxious to protect its toothfish industry, while the US proposal would set up a no-fishing reference area for scientific research. (more…)
OCEAN GOVERNANCE, NEW ZEALAND, FISHERIES EXPORTS DEVELOPMENT WEIGHED WITH SUSTAINABILITY NEWS
The Sealord Deal in New Zealand has catapulted Māori in to the largest group in NZ fisheries, controlling over a third of the industry.
The former chair of the Treaty of Waitangi Fisheries Commission says sustainability will be a major challenge for the fishing industry for the next 20 years.
What’s needed: Planes, drones. Adequate marine surveillance systems. Making inroads with fisheries technologies for exports in other nations. Combining fish with wheat and other ingredients for export. Superfoods products creation needs to happen using the DNA proteins blueprints of marine life – that will have the effect of making the resource more sustainable.
Think fish oil. New product lines created. Salmon to give sustainability a shot.
Yep. That style of thinking could help.
Exciting. Especially for Ngai Tahu.

THE TOOTHFISH TIMES – AUDREY YOUNG KICKS IN ON ROSS SEAS NEWS
New Zealand & The Ross Seas – Local politics New Zealand. Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources.
Foreign Minister Murray McCully had supported the United States – which was to have been a joint proposal with New Zealand on the Ross seas, but he was outvoted in cabinet.
“I think he is embarrassed and it has bruised him. This would have been a diplomatic win for McCully if a joint US-NZ proposal had have passed [the commission].”
New Zealand wins as we live on a dream. In wise world planners sights, who would not want to be a part of the dream in the future? So, no regrets. Move forward.
The story: Audrey Young writes: “Labour says it has not taken a position on whether to back the United States proposal for a large reserve in the Antarctic’s Ross Sea or the Government’s proposal for a smaller reserve that are about to be debated in Hobart. (more…)
TRENDS – 22.10.12
I was going to do a “From the Hat” trends section of key words.
The majority of search terms fed this website’s way: are rugby, classic vintage rugby sayings and words, old school NZ military terms and then a lot of negative words. So… as I don’t feel like side-stepping through the negativity to get the gold, we’ll flag that idea of a list this time around. Sorry. Also trending are topics of the ocean environment preservation vibe that needs to happen in asking the question:
is there such a thing as sustainable exports? if so, what can it look like?
–when answering the world’s whims and fancies upon New Zealand’s territories of resourceful providence.
New Zealand is going to ramp up exports. We’ve gotta go to do. Build the eonomy. Exports a main part of it.
Thank you for sharing New Zealand cultural knowledge online. You all have a lovely day.
