Action Against Trawlers in the North Sea
Greenpeace activists take direct action for the second time in three days to halt North Sea trawlers fishing cod towards extinction. They put a swimmer in front of two Scottish trawlers, Demares and Carisanne II, who were dragging a huge net between them, before attaching a large buoy to the fishing net in an attempt to stop them fishing.
Greenpeace are calling not only for a halt to cod fishing, but also for large areas of the North Sea to become protected as Marine Reserves.

Actie tegen Trawlers op de Noordzee
Greenpeace campaigners ondernemen directe actie voor de tweede maal in drie dagen om Noordzee trawlers te laten stoppen met het vangen van kabeljauw. Greenpeace heeft een zwemmer strategisch in de vaarroute van de Schotse vissersschepen Demares en Carisanne II geplaatst, die een net tussen zich in meetrokken, om de schepen zo een halt toe te roepen. Greenpeace roept niet alleen op tot een stop op het vangen van kabeljauw, maar ook tot het implementeren van zeereservaten.

North Sea Tour Monitoring Fishing Activities
The Arctic Sunrise tours the North Sea to document fishing activities. The focus of the tour is on cod fishing which is particularly rife in these waters and is endangering the population of the species. Greenpeace fears that, if fishing for cod is allowed to continue, then cod will be wiped out completely in the North Sea. They call for the implementation of Marine Reserves which would specify areas where fish would be protected.
