Overfishing and dumping of fish nets is destroying the planet and this must stop

Petition Details

The government should introduce laws to limit fishing and pressure other countries to do the same. There is no accountability for the illegal overfishing. Fishing corporations are getting away with dumping nets and damaging the Ocean. New measures should be introduced to track and stop this.

Additional Information

Dumping of fish nets and fishing equipment is responsible for over 50% of pollution in the ocean and politicians are protecting these corporations and enabling the destruction of Earth. Climate change will be accelerated if overfishing continues and something must be done to change this.

This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do. We understand you'd like to tackle overfishing, but we're not sure exactly what you'd like to do to limit fishing.

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
