As individuals, it's our responsibility to stay informed about the methods used to get seafood on our plates. But we are also responsible for standing against harmful practices like bottom trawling. The question is: What can we do? And the answer is: ???????? ????????????????! If you want to learn more about how bottom trawling started, the current situation in the EU, and how we can take collective action to protect our oceans, read our article below.

Fact: The EU is allowing this practice to take place in “protected waters.”? Fact: We can help end this marine decimation. ? ? Add your name to the appeal to tell the EU to ban trawling in all marine protected areas.: https://lnkd.in/eEkVBvF2 #banbottomtrawling

The carbon footprint of bottom-trawled seafood is among the highest of all foods. For one thing, bottom trawling burns fossil fuels to catch fish and other marine life, more than any other fishing method. ? ? And when trawl nets scrape the seabed, they disturb vast amounts of carbon, releasing plumes of carbon-rich sediment that can be viewed from space. Bottom trawling is accelerating global warming and ocean acidification and worsening the impacts of climate change.? ? Visit the link below, and join us in advocating for this destructive practice to be banned within designated protected areas. It's high time for world leaders to take a stand and put an end to bottom trawling immediately.? #BanBottomTrawling https://lnkd.in/dk7JRZ69

There’s an often overlooked environmental threat taking place along the ocean floor. The unchecked practice of bottom trawling, an industrial fishing method in which weighted nets are dragged across the seabed to haphazardly catch marine life, is rapidly wreaking havoc on our ocean and its inhabitants — and posing a serious threat to the climate.? ? The EU is one of the worst offenders. Europe is quietly allowing this destruction to take place in its “protected areas.” Bottom trawling is simply not sustainable, ethical, or right. We’re asking you to stand with us and demand that the EU ban bottom trawling in its protected areas before it’s too late. https://lnkd.in/gdS3D_S8
