Bottom trawling moratorium within reach

 

Over the past year, all of us who have been taking online action have helped

convince governments around the world to support a moratorium on unregulated

high seas bottom trawling. That includes the US, Brazil, Sweden,

Netherlands, France, Germany, New Zealand and Australia.

 

Bottom trawling tears up an area of seabed larger than Canada each year -

large metal plates and rubber wheels attached to bottom trawl nets crushing

nearly everything in their path.

 

But Canada is still trying to block the UN from taking action. We need to

turn one more ocean destroyer into an ocean defender to protect deep sea

life. Here are two ways you can help:
