Large fishing boats damage environment say Greenpeace

Poole fishermen will get a show of support from Greenpeace when their boat sails into the Harbour on Monday.

Rising Tide will come into Poole Harbour next week as part of the Coastal Champions Boat Tour.  The campaign is pushing for smaller boats to get a bigger share of the market to save the impact on the environment from large vessels.

Bournemouth and Poole Greenpeace  Alasdair Keddie said it is time to take action: “there are too many industrial trawlers, we should support sustainable boats under 10 metres.”
