Closed petition Ban Bottom Trawling in UK waters

Bottom trawling causes long lasting environmental damage that reduces the ability of fish stocks to recover. I want the Government to ban Bottom Trawling.

More details

Fish stocks need to be protected, not just by fishing quotas but by protecting their habitat. Its one thing to over fish but quite another to remove their breeding grounds. These areas may never recover leading to sterile British waters.
