Did you know the UK gov allows bottom trawling in many UK Marine Protected Areas (MPAs)?

It’s like letting a bulldozer destroy a national park.

Want to protect the UK's local fishermen and precious marine life? Please urge the UK gov to ban all industrial fishing from UK MPAs NOW:

This article has exaggerated Ireland's passivity. A muscular maritime security strategy is due in December that aligns Ireland's defence with European Union defensive strategies. The UK will be part of this strategy. The agreement needed is between the EU and the UK, not between Ireland and the UK
