Stop unrestricted fishing for cuttlefish, so the population has time to breed.

Petition Details

There are currently no catch limits on British cuttlefish (Sepia officinalis) and there has been a year on year increase in the catch sizes of the 'black gold'. They are being taken out in such numbers that stocks will collapse unless the government has the courage to put some restrictions in place.
