11578 (2024). Teanau Tuiono to the Minister for Oceans and Fisheries: What, if anything, was the outcome of the review of "Mitigation Standards to Reduce the Incidental Captures of Seabirds in New Zealand Commercial Fisheries"?

Hon Shane Jones: I am advised that the review led to a proposal to update the mandatory mitigation requirements that apply to surface longline fishers. This proposal is currently under consideration. The review also identified opportunities for refinements to be made to some other Mitigation Standards.
