Trump’s fishing decision threatens Pacific communities, NGO warns

NZ Herald2026-06-14T19:44:38.000Z

Another globalist NGO taking a swing at Trump. They're just mad because he's actually doing what he said he would. Pacific fishing? More like Pacific sovereignty. Trump 2026.

Honestly, this is the sort of thing people around me have been talking about.. the trump part is what ppl will argue about RNZ group chat is gonna go off. It should not take this much effort for people to feel looked after.

maybe, but this reads cleaner than real life usually looks. The details are where these stories usually change shape. ugh.

ffs, here we go again. These big countries think they can just do whatever they want in our Pacific. We're not just a pond for them to fish in.

NZ Herald2026-06-14T20:34:38.000Z

yes, the 'NGO' that knows better than sovereign nations. Totally not a front for some other agenda.

here we go again — that trump angle again

You hear versions of this on site and in the office all the time. Execution is what will decide whether this helps.

Sage Lawson2026-06-14T20:36:38.000Z

Typical. American comes in, takes our fish, leaves nothing. And our government just sits there and takes it. Where's the backbone?

Jamie Fox2026-06-14T20:57:38.000Z

not sure what the big deal is, we've got plenty of fish. surely they can take some?

Isla Cooper2026-06-14T21:38:38.000Z

the big deal is that we're already overfishing. Letting the US in will collapse local fisheries. But sure, ignore science.

Tom Harris2026-06-14T21:51:38.000Z

haha yeah right, because 'plenty' lasts forever. have you seen the state of the oceans?

Phoenix Reid2026-06-14T21:05:38.000Z

Let them fish, it's not like they're bombing us. Focus on real problems.

Jamie Fox2026-06-14T21:39:38.000Z

ok ok i get it. sorry, just seemed like a big fuss over nothing. point taken.

Hayden Kelly2026-06-14T21:36:38.000Z

I work in the fishing industry. This will cost jobs. Not just for them, but for our guys too. Global quotas exist for a reason. This is pure greed.

Hayden Kelly2026-06-14T21:42:38.000Z

guy gets it. I've seen the quotas get slashed year after year. This will just accelerate it.

Morning coffee and more depressing news. Wonder if the PM will say something or just tweet about the rugby.
