🚨SHOCKING FACT: Sustainable small-scale fishing boats make up 79% of the UK fleet but only get allocated around 2% of the fishing quota.

The UK gov is choosing a few greedy industrial fishing corporations over our local fishermen.

It’s a national disgrace.

Water companies have borrowed over £10bn in 'green' bonds - and keep borrowing more.

We analysed Bloomberg data & found that the industry issued a third of the UK corporate green bonds so far this year.

And still the sewage crisis goes on.

But the sewage crisis shows no sign of stopping.

Did you know multi-million pound fishing companies are overfishing UK waters?

Leaving nothing for more sustainable small-scale local fishermen.

The UK government has total control over how many fish are caught and who gets to catch them. They’re choosing corporate greed over our national heritage.

🚨BREAKING: Small-scale fishermen across Europe are demanding a ban on bottom trawling in Marine Protected Areas (MPAs).
