New Zealand proposes expanded fishing restrictions to protect endangered northern hoiho penguins, with public input due by December 12, 2025.
New Zealand is seeking public feedback on long-term measures to protect the northern hoiho (yellow-eyed penguin), following an emergency fishing closure in September 2025.
Proposals include extending the no-set-net zone to about eight nautical miles around the Otago Peninsula and establishing a Fishing-Related Mortality Limit with an escalating response system to reduce bycatch.
The measures aim to address multiple threats, including fishing, malnutrition, predators, and disease, with the goal of preventing further population decline.
Submissions are open until 5 p.m. on December 12, 2025, via the Ministry for Primary Industries website.
