A huge win for commercial fishing after a temporary ban on US exports was lifted.
Following a case brought before US courts by Sea Shepherd in 2022, a trade ban was placed on nine fish species caught in Maui dolphin habitat off the West Coast.
It's since been lifted after dolphin protections were assessed as sufficient.
Seafood New Zealand chief executive Jeremy Helson told Mike Hosking that it's lost them up to two-million dollars in exports but getting the endorsement here was more important.
He says having the US government and courts agree we're implementing robust management is a win.
