Greenpeace Places Boulders in North Sea to Stop Trawling
Greenpeace activists have dropped boulders in the North Sea to create an underwater barrier. The action aims to prevent industrial bottom trawling and protect porpoise populations in a designated conservation area.
Environmental activists from Greenpeace have deployed a barrier of boulders on the seabed in the North Sea. The action was taken inside a marine protected area to stop industrial fishing and prevent bottom trawling from destroying local habitats.
The group stated that the underwater barrier is intended to protect porpoises by snagging the dragnets of industrial trawlers. Some reports specify that the boulders were placed to deter destructive fishing practices within the zone created specifically for porpoise conservation.
Further details regarding the exact number of boulders or the precise location within the North Sea were not provided. The intervention highlights ongoing tensions over industrial fishing activities in protected marine environments.
