UK's marine protected areas face over 20,000 hours of bottom trawling Bottom trawling is a fishing method where large, weighted nets are dragged across the seafloor by one or two boats to catch fish and other marine life that live on or near the bottom.

🚨 BREAKING: 20,000+ HOURS of suspected bottom trawling WRECKED the UK’s offshore marine β€œprotected” areas last year, our research shows! 🌊 That would score tracks on the seabed that would stretch EIGHT TIMES around the UK. All with the government's permission! 1/4 πŸ”½

#TheBottomLine: Take action to protect UK marine havens | Blue Marine Foundation Many of the UK's marine protected areas are being destroyed every day by bottom trawlers that rip up the seabed.

#TheBottomLine is, you can’t have a marine protected area and trawl it. ❌

YOU can help create a lasting legacy for UK waters with Blue Marine, Oceana UK and Only One by asking Steve Reed to close our marine protected areas to bottom trawling. We stand at a crossroads, protect our ocean and save our planet, or continue to plunder our greatest natural asset.

β€œBottom trawling is still allowed in many so-called marine protected areas worldwide. And perhaps even more astonishingly, it is subsidised by governments. Very few places are safe from this. including almost nowhere in my own country.” - David Attenborough, in OCEAN.

Sir David Attenborough praised for 'influence' on his 99th birthday SNP MSP Emma Roddick put forward a motion in the Scottish Parliament praising him for 'his tireless service to humanity and nature over seven decades'.

amazing that David Attenborough has put out a film about the world's seas on his 99th birthday, including footage from Scotland's beautiful inshore, all very much worthy of @emmaroddicksnp.bsky.social's motion to Parliament and comment from @bluemarinef.bsky.social news.stv.tv/scotland/sir...

🚨Governments pledged to protect at least 30% of the ocean by 2030, yet bottom trawling is still allowed in "protected" areas.

Join the Week of Ocean Action & demand bottom trawling is banned in Europe’s marine protected areas.

🐧 GREAT OCEAN NEWS 🐧

The SA government has finally declared no-take zones around key African Penguin breeding colonies.

My friends at SANCCOB have worked tirelessly for many years to make this happen, and they deserve to be widely praised for this hard-fought victory.

🚨The great UK fishing scandal continues as 54% of catch limits are set above scientific advice for 2025, further jeopardising our dwindling fish populations and struggling small-scale fishing fleets.

The Labour government must and can turn this around for people & the planet. Share if you agree✊

Government went against scientific advice in setting fishing quotas, court told Blue Marine Foundation is bringing legal action saying the quotas contribute to a long-term decline in fish stocks and fishers’ employment.

The UK Government went against scientific advice when it set maximum fishing quotas for 2024.

is bringing legal action against Defra, saying it acted contrary to its commitments to protect the UK’s marine environment πŸ‘
