This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

We understand that you are concerned about existing fishing practices, but we're not sure exactly what types of fishing you want to be banned, and what types of fishing you want to continue to be permitted.

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
