They put a swimmer in front of the Scottish trawlers, Demares and Carisanne II, who were dragging a huge net between them, before attaching a large buoy to the fishing net in an attempt to stop them fishing. The banner reads: "Stop Battering Cod".In original language:Actie tegen Trawlers op de NoordzeeGreenpeace campaigners ondernemen directe actie voor de tweede maal in drie dagen om Noordzee trawlers te laten stoppen met het vangen van kabeljauw. Greenpeace heeft een zwemmer strategisch in de vaarroute van de Schotse vissersschepen Demares en Carisanne II geplaatst, die een net tussen zich in meetrokken, om de schepen zo een halt toe te roepen. Op het spandoek staat: "Stop Battering Cod", oftewel: "Stop het Toetakelen van Kabeljauw". Greenpeace roept niet alleen op tot een stop op het vangen van kabeljauw, maar ook tot het implementeren van zeereservaten.

The focus of the tour is on cod fishing which is particularly rife in these waters and is endangering the population of the species. Greenpeace fears that, if fishing for cod is allowed to continue, then cod will be wiped out completely in the North Sea. They call for the implementation of Marine Reserves which would specify areas where fish would be protected.
