The United States Court of International Trade has recently overturned a preliminary injunction that had halted the export of certain New Zealand fish to the U.S., following a lawsuit by Sea Shepherd to protect Maui dolphins. This decision came after the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) determined that New Zealand's seafood management practices meet U.S. standards, granting a favorable comparability assessment in January. As a result, trade in nine fish species, which could affect up to $2 million in New Zealand seafood exports to the U.S., is set to resume. The species include snapper, trevally, finger bass, hake, blue whiting, monk shark, mullet, and greenfin, with trade normalization expected within weeks.
