Groups lobby Woods
Conservation organisations shocked by a mining exploration permit granted offshore from New Plymouth are asking Energy and Resources Minister Megan Woods to close marine mammal sanctuaries to mining and exploration for three years.
They also want her to remove the ability of New Zealand Petroleum and Mineral Resources to grant exploration permits.
The groups that have signed the request to her are Kiwis Against Seabed Mining, Forest and Bird, WWF, Greenpeace and ECO.
