We call on the EU Commission to present a proposal for EU-wide legislation to end bottom trawling in protected areas.
"The Commission’s Action Plan presented today is a first step, but without binding legislation, the status of most marine ecosystems will continue to decline"

The #EU must ban bottom trawl fishing in marine protected areas now!
Only 12% of EU seas are 'protected areas'. Nature should be restored & preserved in these zones, not destroyed.
We cannot wait until 2030 to act!
