Ocean Action at Supermarkets in UK

Greenpeace campaigners display dead fish, crabs, sponges and coral outside the entrance of a Tesco superstore in Oxford Retail Park and at branches of Asda and Morrisons. The dead marine life is incidental catch known as bycatch, from beam trawlers which have been fishing for dover sole, plaice and cod. Campaigners ask shoppers to sign and support the campaign against beam trawling.
