It was great to meet members of Southampton Greenpeace this week who were drawing attention to the destructive fishing methods being used currently in Marine Protected Areas, particularly off the South Coast.

As part of Operation Ocean Witness there is a Greenpeace ship in the English Channel right now which is trying to expose the harm that these fishing methods have on biodiversity and wildlife in these protected areas.

The government so far has failed to stop these practices even though they told us that Brexit would give us a chance to better protect the U.K’s seas.
