EDS scaremongering on fisheries management? Make up
your own mind
Stuff recently reported that Shane Jones
and NZ First have blocked an EDS appointment of our Policy
Director Raewyn Peart to a Ministerial fisheries advisory
group. The reason given is our recent publication Voices
from the Sea which reveals a number of problems with the
operation of the fisheries management system. The fisheries
industry, which is close to Minister Jones, has described
the book as ‘scaremongering’. We disagree and think it
is a fair and balanced review of a sector that needs
reform.
We invite you to read Voices from the Sea
and draw your own conclusions.
You can download a free
PDF copy of the report here. Alternatively,
you can support our work by purchasing a fully illustrated
hard copy for $19.95 ($15.95 for members) here.

through law and policy change. That's why it's one of this country's most influential non-
profit organisations when it comes to achieving better environmental outcomes.
EDS has expertise in key disciplines including law, planning, landscape and science. It
operates as a policy think-tank, a litigation advocate, and a collaborator – bringing together
the private and public sectors for constructive engagement.
EDS runs conferences and seminars on topical issues, including an annual Environmental
Summit and the Climate Change and Business Conference.
