The explosion of foreign supertrawlers in UK MPAs
Fishing time in the first half of 2020 doubles 2019 effort
Fishing by large foreign-owned pelagic supertrawlers over 100m in length in UK Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) has rocketed this year and has been increasing significantly since 2017 Fifteen of the supertrawlers operating in UK waters in 2019 were Russian-owned. Nine were Dutch-owned, and one was Polish-owned. One of the supertrawlers active in UK waters, the Frank Bonefaas, is UK-flagged, but under Dutch ownership.
A DEFRA spokesperson said: “The UK is a global leader in the fight to protect our seas with our ‘Blue Belt’ of protected waters nearly twice the size of England.
In 2019, supertrawlers spent 2,963 hours fishing in 39 protected areas, while in the first six months of 2020, supertrawlers spent 5,590 hours fishing in 19 protected areas“Our government allowing destructive supertrawlers to fish for thousands of hours every year in MPAs makes a mockery of the word ‘protected’.”
The British public overwhelmingly backs a ban on supertrawler operations in UK MPAs. A YouGov poll showed that four in five UK adults back a ban, with support cutting across political divides. Last week, over 50 MPs signed an open letter to environment secretary George Eustice urging him to commit to a ban on supertrawler operations in UK MPAs.

CHANGE COMMERCIAL FISHING PRACTICE AND LEGISLATION
TO ONLY ALLOW SUSTAINABLE METHODS. ALLOW WILD FISH TO MATURE
TO FULL SIZE AS MOST MARKETED FISH ARE ONLY JUVENILE FISH,
ABOUT 1/5TH OF THEIR ADULT SIZE.
THERE IS NO LOGIC IN CATCHING IMMATURE FISH THAT COULD REPOPULATE
THE OCEANS IF ALLOWED TO GROW TO MATURITY.
6.
A CRIMINAL OFFENCE FOR OVERFISHING
WITH PROCEEDS OF CRIME GOING BACK TO FISHERY ENFORCEMENT. WE MUST NOT ALLOW
"CRIMES IN OUR OCEANS" TO PAY. WITH 3000 BREACHES OF FISHERY LAW LAST YEAR (2019) IN SCOTLAND ALONE NO ONE WAS SENTENCED TO PRISON, WITH A £80,000,000.00 FISH SCANDAL IN SCOTLAND, WITH 30 PLUS FISHERMEN INVOLVED, NOBODY WENT TO PRISON, NO BOATS WERE CONFISCATED.
BLUEFIN TUNA IS THE COCAINE OF THE SEAS WE HAVE TO PROTECT THEM FROM THE CRIMINALS WHO EXPLOIT THEM,
WITH ONE SPANISH FISHERMAN REAPING £300,000,000.00 LAST YEAR FROM GIANT BLUEFIN TUNA.
7.
BAN SUPERTRAWLERS AND SUPERSEINERS WORLDWIDE
ALL SUPER TRAWLERS MUST BE SCRAPPED. BY REDUCING THE SIZE OF FISHING VESSELS AND THUS THEIR HAUL CAPACITY SOME FISH IN A SHOAL CAN ESCAPE CAPTURE ALLOWING THEM TO REPRODUCE RATHER THAN AN ENTIRE POPULATION BEING WIPED OUT IN ONE GO.

Stop Ecocide: Change The Law
Just imagine how much easier it would be to protect what we love and what supports life – from honeybees to chimpanzees, from rivers to rainforests to oceans, if it were a crime to destroy ecosystems. It would make all the difference. And it’s not a pipe dream… this essential law is already visible on the horizon.

Dutch super trawler fleet move in
Over 10,000 dolphins were killed in UK waters last year in 2019. In 2020 it's still going on, even now in corona virus lockdown, it continues. They're killed by commercial pelagic fishing, this has to STOP!
LAW MUST BE CHANGED TO PROTECT DOLPHINS, HOW?
The government can stop this, and with your help,
we will STOP the killing of dolphins.
Support BLUE SEAS PROTECTION who want to make a law to protect dolphins, here's how. Make it:
1. ILLEGAL TO INTEND TO HARM A DOLPHIN U.K. WATERS
2. ILLEGAL TO HARM A DOLPHIN IN U.K. WATERS
3. ILLEGAL TO KILL A DOLPHIN IN U.K. WATERS

1200 HUNDRED DEAD DOLPHINS WASHED UP ASHORE 2019
ITS MAJOR
"CRIME IN OUR OCEANS "
ITS GOING ON NOW 2020 OFF THE WEST COAST OF IRELAND
VERY DISTRESSINGLY! Over the 9 weeks since writing in early 2019, dozens of fishing vessels deploying hundreds of miles of monofilament gill nets and dozens of Supertrawlers have killed over 10,000 dolphins YES 10,000! whilst fishing for spawning sea bass.
As many as 4000 Cornish dolphins could have been killed too.
New reports June 2020 another 1000 + dolphins killed and real figures probably 10 times this amount killed and unseen by public killed by fishing drift nets and supertrawlers putting the region’s famous dolphin population at risk of being wiped out.
Fatal injuries
According to scientists investigating the discovery of 1000 dead animals on British and French beaches this spring, the majority of the dead dolphins suffered fatal injuries inflicted by fishing gear.
It is estimated that the bodies of 3000 more dolphins did not reach the shore – bringing the death toll to 4000.
It’s thought at least 100,000 dolphins have been killed in the last twenty years.
This is conveniently termed as BYCATCH by fishermen and authorities. This is totally unacceptable as the fishermen KNOW full well the Dolphins are amongst the shoals of bass
1200 dead dolphins washed up on French beaches in the Vendée, Charente Maritime, and Gironde. English beaches too, even the Isle of Wight. These deaths are only the tip of the iceberg since more than 90% of the corpses are gutted so that they sink to the seabed. That is over 12,000 killed - maybe more.
ITS "CRIME IN OUR OCEANS"
Most of the bodies found are mutilated, with severed fins, gaff hook marks, deep cuts, FROM FISHERMEN'S KNIVES: its genocide! These dolphins, which spend winter in the Bay of Biscay, are victims of non-selective fishing operations (including English trawlers, Danish seiners, German, French vessels, and gillnetters targeting sea bass and hake for the French market.
This is a BLUE MURDER!
Sea Shepherd has watched this crime going on for 12 weeks and have documented on film
Its time for us to step up the action to protect, help, or support us commission our patrol vessel.
We continue to lobby government.
MACKEREL STOCK UNDER SEVERE THREAT FROM SUPER TRAWLERS PELAGIC FISHING
In my short lifetime, I have seen the destruction of the West countries' vast mackerel stock. In the 1970s-80s the shoal was 26 miles long by 1.5 wide off Falmouth to Plymouth. This could only be fished by hand methods e.g. feathers, until the introduction of the midwater trawl. Then it was plundered to death until there was nothing left.
Not for human consumption but for fertilizer.
Now, most mackerel go to pig feed pellets and to aquaculture feed for salmon farms.
It's not sustainable, but it could have been! "if only we acted then" if only we act ... or will it be too late?
- by Capt Garry Oates
The International marine council for the seas, a worldwide body who advises governments on fish stock levels, said on 2nd Feb 2019: "There must be a 68% decrease in catches of mackerel and we have set a catch limit of 360,000 tons" but the fishing industry set their own limit at 680,000 tons. The fishing industry is not fit to protect our fish stock.
please help us to create change support us now.
Update July 2019: mackerel now classed as endangered fish

A joint effort of NGO'S have brought about change .
We have campaigned tirelessly to stop this destruction to our seas, but its not over yet . 2021 is not acceptable it needs banning fully now !
so we continue to fight !
Pulse beaming must be totally banned
Electric currents have no mercy on marine life: the whole marine life is electrocuted. Quantified data are lacking with regards to the impacts of such an electrocution on marine life, especially on electro-sensitive species (sharks and rays),[1] but also on eggs, juveniles, plankton, fishes’ physiology, water chemistry etc. There is one notable study by Dutch IMARES, which showed that 50 to 70% of large cods caught by pulse trawls had their spine broken after an electric shock.[2]
18th February 2019
EU bans pulse beaming from July 2021 – 42 licences to be withdrawn this year
Electric pulse beam trawling effort will be slashed by 50% this year, and the method will be banned from July 2021, reports Tim Oliver
EU co-legislators agreed on the ban last week as part of an overall agreement on changes to the complex EU technical measures regulation.
The pulse ban will be phased in, with 42 of the current 84 European pulse fishing licences to be withdrawn this year, and the remaining 42 by July 2021. Six vessels will be allowed to continue research into pulse fishing after 2021, and must follow a protocol validated by the European Commission’s scientific body. The Commission said it will ‘continue to follow ongoing scientific developments closely’.
NO FISH FOR BIRDS ONLY PLASTIC
Its official! We now all have plastic in our bodies! Leading scientist Dr. Phillip Schwabl confirmed 23/10/18:
"We have mass polluted the seas and oceans not just in far away countries but around our coasts and shores too. Many birds are dying and have stomachs full of plastic, our fish and shellfish are full of micro plastics , our bodies are now storing digested micro plastics from eating fish & shellfish. We dont know the consequences but we know it's going to be poisoning the body... "
