🚨 #DYK 90% of the UK's marine protected areas are open to destructive bottom-trawl fishing?? British diver, Gio, shows us what’s at stake. ⚠️ 📢 We need a ban NOW. ✊ YOU can help. 📩 Email UK Govt to demand a bottom trawling ban in protected areas: act.for-the-ocean.org/act/protect-uk…





❌Promise made. Promise broken? Environment Secretary Steve Reed MP vowed to end bottom trawling. A year on, we're STILL waiting. 🛑 20,000+ HRS of suspected bottom trawling happened in “protected” areas last year⁉️ 📩 Hold govt to account. DEMAND A BAN: act.for-the-ocean.org/act/protect-uk…



“In this victory, the court rejected a legal challenge from industrial fishing interests seeking to destroy crucial conservation measures in European MPAs [...] Bottom trawling has no place in any marine protected area.” Our campaign lead, Amy Hammond. 🙌 oceanographicmagazine.com/news/eu-court-…
