Greenpeace Creates Underwater Barrier in North Sea to Block Industrial Fishing
Greenpeace activists placed nine limestone boulders in the Southern North Sea to form a 45-square-mile underwater barrier against bottom trawling. This initiative aims to protect marine biodiversity, especially harbour porpoises, from industrial fishing damage. Greenpeace criticized government protections as inadequate and deployed the boulders without a marine licence, prompting regulatory concerns.
