Greenpeace activists block bottom trawling with boulders in North Sea
Original: PRESS RELEASE: Activists aboard the Greenpeace ship Arctic Sunrise have placed giant boulders to block bottom trawling a
Activists aboard the Greenpeace ship Arctic Sunrise have placed giant boulders across 116 square kilometres of the Southern North Sea Marine Protected Area to physically block bottom trawling. Greenpeace is calling on the UK government to ban destructive fishing in all protected waters, arguing that marine protected areas are meaningless while trawling continues.
Why now: The deliberate physical obstruction of fishing in a UK marine protected area is a provocative escalation that draws attention to ongoing trawling in supposedly protected waters.
