Greenpeace errichtet steinerne Barriere in der Ostsee - Tag 2

Ein Greenpeace-Aktivist beobachtet die Gegend von Bord der Beluga II während der Hafeneinfahrt in Sassnitz (Mecklenburg-Vorpommern). Greenpeace-Aktivistinnen versenken weiter Granitgestein von Bord der „Beluga II“. Mit den Felsbrocken schützen die Aktivistinnen das Meeresschutzgebiet Adlergrund vor der Zerstörung durch die Grundschleppnetze der Industriefischer. Fischer durchpflügen den Meeresboden sogar in ausdrücklich geschützten Gebieten ganz legal und zerstören so das Ökosystem.

Stone Barrier Action at Adlergrund - Day 2

Greenpeace activists continue to build a granite barrier at Adlergrund in the Baltic Sea for the second day. The activists use granite rocks to protect the marine reserve from destruction by the bottom trawls of industrial fishermen. Fishermen plough through the seabed quite legally even in explicitly protected areas, thus destroying the ecosystem. The "Beluga-II" is travelling to the protected areas of the North- and the Baltic Sea in July and August 2020. Its mission is to fight for "real protected areas" - domestically as well as internationally.
