Greenpeace drops boulder barrier in North Sea against trawlers
Original: Greenpeace activists create ‘boulder barrier’ in North Sea to deter industrial fishing
Greenpeace activists have placed large boulders on the seabed of the North Sea to form an underwater barrier aimed at deterring industrial bottom trawling. The action is designed to make it impossible for heavy fishing gear to operate in the area, protecting marine habitats. The stunt is drawing attention as debates over destructive fishing practices and marine protection zones continue across Europe.
Why now: Direct-action protests against industrial fishing are drawing media attention amid ongoing debates over bottom trawling bans and ocean protection.
