They are calling not only for a halt to cod fishing, but also for large areas of the North Sea to become protected as marine reserves.In original language:Actie Kabeljauw Beschermen in de NoordzeeGreenpeace campaigners ondernemen directe actie om trawlers te laten stoppen met het vangen van kabeljauw in de Noordzee. Greenpeace heeft een zwemmer strategisch in de vaarroute van de Schotse trawler Endurance geplaatst, om het schip zo een halt toe te roepen. Op het bord staat: "Stop! Cod in Crisis" oftewel: "Stop! Kabeljauw in Crisis". 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.Related Collections:Webbasics Pictures OceansBest Actions Collection
