1 Nov 2 · 6d ago · 1 article · 1 source · development 1 of 3

Greenpeace's analysis shows bottom trawlers logged more than 37,200 fishing hours in the Southern North Sea MPA in 2025 alone—far more than any other UK offshore MPA. Across all UK MPAs, trawlers and dredgers churned up 55,600 square kilometres of seabed in 2025, equivalent to almost the size of Croatia.

“Hulking great ships prowl the sea day after day, stripping it of fish and killing precious wildlife like porpoises, sharks and seabirds.”
