Hi Guys,
 
Not sure if this has come up on here
 
Please Submit AGAINST the proposal to mine the seabed off Taranaki
Trans Tasman Resources TTR were rejected in 2013/2014 ... now they have come back to apply again.
they still have not addressed all the issued raised when they were rejected last time
if you thing trawling is damaging to the sea bed ... what do you think these Muppets are going to do
don't let new Zealand waters be a testing ground for this method of mining
 
I understand we have until Friday to submit submissions
 
NZSFC/Legasea and the New Plymouth Sport fishing and Underwater Club (NPSUC) are working on submissions as we speak.
They are working together with Kiwi's against Seabed Mining KASM
 
individual submissions can be done through

it is very simple to tick appropriate boxes and fill out the boxes with your thoughts. I managed to do mine while on a business trip in usa
 
Cheers

I just read an article about the dangers of drinking too much; it scared the sh*t out of me, so today I decided I'm never f*cking reading again!
