Rebecca Newsom, Greenpeace UK Head of Politics, second left, speaks with Jerry Percy, director of NUTFA, centre, and MP Peter Aldous, right, at the Westminster launch of the joint Greenpeace UK & fishing communities declaration calling for urgent action to protect the English Channel and Southern North Sea.
The event followed a flotilla of Greenpeace UK and small scale fishing boats to send a message to the government that without urgent action to stop industrial fishing, fishing communities and marine ecosystems will suffer irreparable harm.
