We think bottom trawling is a brutal, outdated, and ecologically catastrophic fishing method. It razes the ocean floor, destroys coral and sponge habitats, kills non-target species, and contributes to climate breakdown by releasing massive amounts of carbon stored in marine sediment.

Yet the UK still allows it — even in so-called “protected” areas.
Enough is enough. Restore the ocean while there’s still something left to save.
