Seafood New Zealand says new fishery proposals will keep workers safer.

Public consultation is open on loosening up on extending or reducing catch limits.

The reform would also restrict access to fishing vessel camera video - to officials and the courts.

Seafood NZ CEO, Lisa Futschek says the public has no need to access the footage.

"Unfortunately, we see some pretty bad behaviour and attitudes towards our fishers - who are bullied and verbally and sometimes physically abused."
