Activists drop stones, from the ship Beluga II, onto the North Sea bed to protect marine life from beam trawling and gravel extraction. The North Sea has been seriously damaged by many years of intensive fishing.In original language:Felsbrocken Aktion Sylter AussenriffMit schweren Felsbrocken schuetzen Greenpeace Aktivisten erneut das Meeresschutzgebiet "Sylter Aussenriff" vor zerstoererischer Fischerei. Die Aktivisten setzen von Bord ihres Schiffes Beluga II eine Aktion fort, die sie vor zwei Jahren westlich vor Sylt begonnen hatten. Seitdem sind 320 Felsen im Meer versenkt worden. Der Grund fur die Aktion damals wie heute: Das Gebiet ist ein ausgewiesenes Schutzgebiet, in dem jedoch noch immer zerstoererische Aktivitaeten wie Fischerei mit Grundschleppnetzen oder Sand- und Kiesabbau erlaubt sind.Locations:Europe-Germany-North Sea-SyltDate:2 Aug, 2011Credit:© Daniel Müller / GreenpeaceMaximum size:3543px X 2362pxKeywords:Actions and protests-Banners-Commercial fishing-Day-Fisheries-Fishing (Industry)-Greenpeace activists-Hard hats-KWCI (GPI)-Marine Reserves (campaign title)-MV Beluga II-Oceans (campaign title)-Outdoors-Rocks-Three peopleShoot:Stone Wall Action in the North SeaGreenpeace continues building a ‘stone wall’ to mark a Marine Reserve and stop destructive bottom trawling off the island of Sylt, Germany.
