The trawlers Prins Bernard and Maartje Theadora are seen fishing for herring. These and other big trawlers, factory ships, represented by the Dutch Pelagic Freezer-trawler Association (PFA) fish for Herring in the English Channel around November and December every year during the Autumn Spawning season. Greenpeace is documenting these fishing practices. Official reports of former fishing activities in this region and season reveal how one vessel in one single trip dumped up to 600 tonnes of fish, the equivalent to 2 million meals.
