For a period, with the authority of the IUCN MPA classifications and the New Zealand Department of Conservation, we got a pause in the NZ government claiming that BPAs counted as MPAs, but we keep finding that the claims resurface.
¿Qué esfuerzos se están llevando a cabo para superar dichos obstáculos?:
ECO is entirely voluntary so our capacity is stretched. The main problems is that disinformation that equates so-called Benthic Protected Areas with genuine MPAs that is spread from the New Zealand fishing industry and at times the Ministry of Primary Industries is widely circulated but not often recognised or rebutted as the fake claims they are.
