Petition Stop bottom trawler fishing to allow fish stocks to grow again

Bottom trawler fishing is so destructive to our oceans, it doesn't pick what marine creature it catches, bottom trawler nets literally drag the sea bed indiscriminately.

More details

By banning trawling for a couple of years, this will allow our fish stocks to recover and give time for sustainable options to be considered in the future.
