Dolphin Bycatch Tour in the UK
Greenpeace's flagship the Esperanza departs from Falmouth on the 17 February 2005 to campaign for a total ban on pair trawling for sea bass in the English Channel. The pair trawlers drag huge nets between them, which regularly also snares common dolphins who drown, often breaking their fins, beaks or backbones in their struggle to escape. During the tour the Greenpeace onboard team gather evidence of the impacts of pair trawling and take direct action to stop pair trawlers from operating. The Greenpeace crew also collect dead dolphins from the sea for later delivery to the Institute of Zoology for full post mortem.
