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're concerned about fishing, but we're not sure what you'd like the Government to work to change.

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