Supertrawlers need to be banned

Thank you, Greenpeace, for your active work. This should be frontline news every day until it happens.

You should be saying thank you to sea shepherd, lol. All greenpeace cares about is the $$$

We need governments to support this. We only have this world, let's try and protect what is left. Thank you Greenpeace.

True, we all should love and protect our planet 🤗🤗

This is absolutely the way to go, you just have to convince sleazy politicians to act.

Well done Green Peace, so many people don't care 😢sad.

Your so right, bad human beings yes ..

This would be a great first step. The next one would have to be an array of measures to assure that every nation will respect these 'protected' areas in order to make them truly protected. That's quite an issue because most of these territories, I assume, would be on international waters, where no government has the authority to stop anybody from continuing the exploitation of the ocean and the seabed. I really can't imagine how to even begin to make everybody (including huge companies) adhere, but I agree that first we have to establish these protected areas.

Thank you, Greenpeace for giving a damn.

Protect and preserve not damage and destroy; Greenpeace thank you for opening our hearts and minds; please keep the pressure on our Government to do the right thing for the world not just lining commercial pockets including their own!

We all need educating. There is so much we don't understand.

0:58 how come you have marked all the waters around the U.K. as "protected" when most forms of commercial fishing, including bottom dredging are allowed there? The UKs Marine Protected Areas are worse than useless. People think that they are "protected" but they absolutely are not. They are just a way for government to say it's acting to protect these habitats when it is NOT.

Yes there are only very small protected zones around UK, definitely not all around.

Greenpeace have criticised the UKs protected waters as being paper parks due to the lack of significant and standardised protection. But I think they are shown in this anyway simply to show what is technically protected.

@@seananglish3320 Sure but if we get the kind of protection that currently exists in these waters then we are getting nowhere. The 3% figure stated in the video is actually wrong because much of that area is not actually protected in any meaningful way. To put this in context, from memory, the area of U.K. waters that are actually protected now is not 30% as the government claims - it's 0.04%.

@@michaelrch agreed. There has been some recent success from Greenpeace in getting the government to step up protections. Supposedly this is just the beginning and the government claims that it will continue to roll out the enhanced protection over time. Of course the government does have a habit of reneging on such claims. Also cant help to ask the question of why not roll out the new standards across all the MPAs now. Would certainly make policing activities out in the sea much easier if they all have the same rules. Good chunk of the sites have our navy right next to them. We pay good money for the navy, may as well have some assistance from them. But we could also make it mandatory that all bottom trawlers have their trackers on so even the public can pop online and see if they are in protected waters. www.theguardian.com/environment/2021/jun/09/uk-to-trial-highly-protected-marine-areas-in-win-for-ocean-campaigners

@@seananglish3320 I don't trust the government as far as I could throw them. They are ideologically opposed to regulation of business. They have said as much. Boris Johnson's declared solution to every problem is greed, envy and free market capitalism. This government is not about to actually stop commercial fishing in 30% of U.K. waters for environmental reasons. They are ideologically opposed to it and they do not have the political courage either. They make big promises over and over then completely fail to deliver on them. Instead we get £27bn for road building and £100bn for HS2 that won't be carbon neutral until 2080 if we are lucky.

How will the Marine Protected Areas be policed? It's only with effective policing that they'll be any good at all. Look at the Marine Protected Areas around the UK right now - despite Greenpeace's fab boulder barrier at Dogger, supertrawlers are blasting straight through the rest of them. So although they are called MPA's as far as I can see they're not anything of the sort.

Thank you Greenpeace - a very challenging watch!

Keep up the good work Greenpeace. Thank you. Very informative video.

Shared 🙏

Thank you Greenpeace UK! As as a fellow supporter of Greenpeace in Canada,I support and love this positive message and opening hearts and minds. The deep ocean mining really sounds like Bond SPECTRE Villian/Dr.Evil level stuff. You can eat great plant-based foods now.You don’t have to farm fish or eat animals.Please give it a try.You’ll be happy! 🙂👍🌱

Thank you Greenpeace

Awesome video! Lets work towards #30by30. We can't afford to fail!

Protect at least 70 percent of the ocean.

So heartbreaking

I still think 100% of the oceans should be protected. Sure 30% will protect humans and the planet, but what about the other animals? It does nothing to protect them. Obviously some communities rely on fish for food, but in the western world we don't, so let's just leave the oceans alone completely

Your map shows UK waters as protected. Actually industrial fishing and trawling is permitted even in the so called marine protected areas.

I am a supporter of Greenpeace, I love our oceans and I love you too Greenpeace👍

Should be banned to industrial fishing. Period.

And the people have the power to make a dent in the Big Fishing Industry by boycotting it and making it known they will boycott it. I highly recommend the new film: seaspiracy. If people were to become vegetarian, even "half" vegetarian, the planet would be in better shape. It's for our future generations, if future generations there will be 🤷🏼‍♀️.

great plan, lets move on

Such common sense - why oh why is it so hard to get action.

whenever money is involved, govs, especially conservatives will be very hard to persuade.

I love the amazing Planets, love to simple people, and love to Greenpeace all around the world.

Agreed. But, in addition, how does Greenpeace propose to deal with the huge amounts of discarded plastic which are polluting the oceans and killing their irreplaceable flora and fauna?

Long way to go but we can do this

How about 100%?

I agree, but in lots of places there simply aren't any plant-based alternatives available, which is why people need to fish. We're lucky in the UK that we have so many options available to us.
