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

Closed on

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.

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.

Just look at Google and see what destruction and implications it has on our oceans.
