From Greenpeace:
What does the high seas bottom trawling industry think of protecting deep sea life like ancient coral forests, undiscovered life and endangered species? Not much!
Like clearfelling rainforests, bottom trawling is wiping out ancient coral forests in the deep sea.
Please support a moratorium on high seas bottom trawling by telling your Environment, Fisheries and Foreign ministers that bottom trawling must stop!
(yes, it includes the Irish fisheries minister!)
