This study aims to seek ways to prevent marine
plastic pollution leakage in New Zealand’s
commercial fin fishing industry supply chains.
Drawing on a case study approach, this research
investigates how sea and land-based plastic
material flows are perceived by those working
for commercial fishing company Moana NZ. It
considers current global, regional and national
policies, as well as current initiatives that seek to
minimise marine plastic pollution and considers the
potential for their implementation in this context.
This study also acknowledges the significant role
that industry can play in implementing best practice
guided by the top of the zero waste hierarchy.
