Protest against the Helen Mary Trawler in the North Sea
Two Greenpeace UK activists unfurl a banner reading 'Ban Supertrawlers Now!' during an action to prevent the Helen Mary, a 117m long supertrawler, from fishing within the Central Fladen Marine Protected Area (MPA), east of Scotland.
This comes after the UK Government's repeated failure to ban destructive industrial fishing from the country's MPA network. Greenpeace is calling for all offshore protected areas, including Central Fladen, to be put off limits to industrial fishing by 2030.

Bottom Trawler Exclusion Zone Tour and Action in the North Sea (Photos by S. Plunkett)
Greenpeace UK activists place inert granite boulders at precise locations inside the Dogger Bank marine protected area in the North Sea to ensure that bottom trawlers can no longer operate in the new bottom trawler exclusion zone.
The Dogger Bank’s seabed is one of the North Sea’s most important habitats. It is home to sandeels, crabs, flatfish and more. These species are a vital food source for porpoises and seabirds like puffins.
