Only takes a moment to sign this petition. Supertrawlers are destroying vast numbers of species which they net indiscriminately. The French are at it too

We believe that hundreds of dolphins
are killed every year as the result of giant factory ships trawling waters
around the UK. Victims of unsustainable fishing, the bodies of these beautiful,
intelligent animals regularly wash up on British shores.
You may have already heard about ‘supertrawlers’
fishing in waters around the UK. These are huge fishing vessels with
kilometre-long nets the size of 450 tennis courts, which are capable of harvesting
thousands of tonnes of fish per trip.
These supersized nets mean that fish aren’t the
only animals that get caught. Dolphins, and any other marine wildlife
unfortunate enough to be nearby, are unable to escape and end up being
needlessly killed as ’bycatch’.
Supertrawlers from around the world are legally
allowed to fish in UK waters. However, since supertrawlers don’t enter
territorial waters, they aren’t held to the same level of legislation as
the UK’s own local, sustainable fishing community.
With your support, we’re demanding
greater transparency on bycatch from supertrawlers and are
calling on the UK government to hold supertrawlers to account by
strengthening legislation.
