While the fishing industry pushes back, arguing gillnets aren’t the main issue and pointing to seagrass loss or poaching instead, Indigenous communities and local leaders are divided—some calling for an immediate gillnet ban, others defending traditional hunting as sustainable. Across the board, there’s a unified demand for more research funding to untangle the real drivers behind the decline, from climate change to habitat destruction. Governments say they’re committed, backing new marine park expansions and supporting conservation science—but the path forward remains uncertain as all sides seek clear, evidence-based solutions.
