Ban fishing on a third of UK coastal for fish repopulation

Petition Details

“We have far too few marine sanctuaries. We need to turn a third of all our coastal seas into properly protected areas, if we do that, our fishing grounds would recover and help sustain both humanity and the natural world.” David Attenborough

Additional Information

We are already in a climate crisis and in order to reverse the damage humans have created our oceans need to be healthy. Great biodiversity is needed to ensure healthy oceans. By creating no fishing zones this will also benefit fisherman as once there are more fish in the ocean they will spill into fishable zones. If we do not implement these measures everyone will suffer.
