In many areas, cold-water coral ecosystems even in deep water are under serious threat. Seamounts in the New Zealand EEZ Maintenance of biodiversity and productive ecosystems on seamounts within the New Zealand EEZ are key goals of several government departments. In May 2001, the Ministry of Fisheries protected from bottom trawling and dredging 19 representative seamounts under a Seamounts Management Strategy lAnon., 20011. The seamounts are distributed around New Zealand's EEZ, including the Chatham Rise, subantarctic waters, and the east and west coasts of the northern part of North Island (Figure 26|. The protected seamounts vary in size from the very large Bollons Seamount in the subantarctic to the tiny seamounts on the Chatham Ri
