Action against Trawling and Bycatch in London
Greenpeace displays 'trawler trash' in Trafalgar Square at an action to highlight the outrageous waste caused by unsustainable fishing techniques. A 20 metre long table displays thousands of dead fish, crabs, anemone and coral - all thrown away by beam trawling boats fishing for species such as plaice and cod. 70% of a beam trawl catch gets dumped - dead or dying. Greenpeace are calling on UK supermarkets to stop selling any seafood caught by beam trawlers.
