Green Peace Mounts pressure on UK government to ratify the UN Global Oceans treaty

Greenpeace UK has this week revealed the extent of industrial fishing and shipping in the Sargasso Sea with the overall volume of vessels of any type crossing the Sargasso having increased by more than 30% since 2018.
Drifting longlines which is a major fishing method utilized in the Sargasso sea pose a major risk to this precious ecosystem because they fish indiscriminately, hooking marine mammals, turtles, seabirds and sharks along with their intended catch.

    On one hand, it's heartbreaking to see the harm caused by industrial activities. On the other hand, I'm inspired by organizations like Greenpeace UK who are fighting to protect our oceans.

        Industrial fishing is very indiscriminate even to other small-scale fishermen. You cant imagine the number of animals that are unintentionally caught up. I support Green Peace in this.

          It's about time that fishing is controlled before all the creatures In the marine ecosystems become extinct.

            This is a great move by Greenpeace. This shows their commitment in sustainable ocean management and conservation.

              The UK must listen to Greenpeace call and protect the Sargasso Sea for the sake of the endangered marine life.

                    This is outrageous! Greenpeace is right, the Sargasso Sea needs protection! The UK needs to stand up for our oceans and ratify the UN Global Oceans Treaty.

                      I totally support them, the use of drifting longlines, poses a significant threat to the ecosystem due to their indiscriminate nature, causing harm to marine mammals!
