🚨 Bottom-trawl fishing is decimating our ocean — and marine life is paying the price. Bottom trawlers are large, fuel-intensive vessels that drag heavy metal gear and nets across the seafloor, effectively bulldozing marine habitats. Shockingly, 90% of the UK’s marine protected areas remain open to this highly damaging type of fishing, as Oceana_UK’s new report shows. Ocean havens around the world are being wrecked by bottom trawling. This highly destructive fishing method is a scourge on our seas, everywhere. It’s time for our leaders to act. We need an urgent ban of bottom trawling in marine protected areas. Learn more from Oceana_UK’s findings at the #linkinbio — and stay tuned next week, when Oceana will be at the UN Ocean Conference calling on governments to ban bottom trawling in marine protected areas. #UNOC3
