ACTOR and comedian Stephen Fry has backed a conservation charity campaign calling for government action to save Britain’s oceans in its first 100 days in office.

Throwing his support behind the Blue Marine Foundation’s newly launched Seas the Day campaign, he urged constituents across the country to contact their local MP and ask them to pledge three main actions to help.

They are calling for a ban on bottom-trawling in marine protected areas, ending overfishing by bringing fishing catch limits within scientific advice and addressing social inequality by reforming how quotas are allocated in British fishing.
