Overview

What we need
The Ministry for Primary Industry (MPI) is seeking a provider to monitor the “footprint” of trawl fishing for deepwater species on or near the seabed.


What’s important to us
The Ministry is looking for credible providers who have the capability, experience and infrastructure to be able to:
1. To estimate the trawl footprint and map the spatial and temporal distribution of trawling on or near the seabed throughout the EEZ between 1989/90 and the most recent completed fishing year.

2. To produce summary statistics, for Tier 1 deepwater fisheries and the aggregate of all Tier 1 and Tier 2 deepwater fisheries, of the extent and frequency of fishing by year, by depth zone, by fishable area, and by predicted BOMEC habitat class, and to identify any trends or changes to meet management needs.

3. To update any relevant sections in the Aquatic Environment and Biodiversity Annual Review and Environmental and Ecosystem considerations sections of the Fisheries Assessment Plenary documents with new results from this work.
