The action is organized to protect the 'scholbox', an area of 40.000 square kilometers in the North Sea. The scholbox is made to protect young and small plaice and is prohibited for bigger trawlers part of the year. Greenpeace demands that the scholbox is prohibited for trawlers with more than 300 hp the whole year. This action proves its success; in 1994 the scholbox is protected the whole year round.
