Fishing net ban to protect hoiho - Expert Reaction - Science Media Centre
An emergency set net fishing ban to protect yellow-eyed penguins around the Otago Peninsula begins at 5 pm today. The three-month ban follows a voluntary closure by set-net fishers last week and earlier calls for a ban during the breeding season of hoiho – the 2024 Bird of the Year.
