Greenpeace activists drive off trawlers illegally fishing in protected marine areas
British Marine Protected Areas

GREENPEACE activists successfully chased away two trawlers illegally fishing in protected marine areas.

The French-flagged trawlers had turned off their satellite tracking systems, and were “bottom trawling” — dragging weighted nets across the seabed destroying marine life.

The trawlers were spotted fishing in two British Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) off the south coast.
