Ban super trawler Margiris from fishing in all UK waters.
At the time of starting this petition the super trawler "Margiris" is operating some 20 miles off the south coast in the English Channel and has been working this area for four days previous to this petition. This ship is the 2nd largest fishing vessel in the world with a capacity (hold) of 18000T.
It is registered in Lithuania and causes destruction all over the globe, and has been banned from other waters due to its destructive nature. I have tracked this ship using AIS.
There are marine conservation areas along this coast which seems a pointless exercise as this grotesque vessel can catch and process 18,000 tonnes of our precious commodity.
Fish caught on this vessel will not be landed at a UK port. This ship is a travesty and needs banning to preserve our fish stocks.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
There's already a petition about this issue. We cannot accept a new petition when we already have one about a very similar issue.
You are more likely to get action on this issue if you sign and share a single petition.
