Ban bottom trawling in all UK waters & ratify UN High Seas Treaty

Petition Details

Ban bottom trawling in all UK waters- not just within Marine Protected Areas (MPAs).
Phase out industrial bottom trawling by 2030, ratify the UN High seas treaty - before the September 2025 General Assembly.

Additional Information

We think bottom trawling is a brutal, outdated, and ecologically catastrophic fishing method. It razes the ocean floor, destroys coral and sponge habitats, kills non-target species, and contributes to climate breakdown by releasing massive amounts of carbon stored in marine sediment.

Yet the UK still allows it — even in so-called “protected” areas.
Enough is enough. Restore the ocean while there’s still something left to save.
