Stone Barrier Action in the Baltic Sea - Day 2

A Greenpeace Activist holds a banner that reads "ECHTER SCHUTZ FÜR UNSERE MEERE" (REAL PROTECTION FOR OUR SEAS). Greenpeace activists continue to sink granite rocks from the "Beluga II". The activists use the boulders to protect the marine reserve Adlergrund from destruction by the bottom trawls of industrial fishermen. Fishermen plough through the seabed quite legally even in explicitly protected areas, thus destroying the ecosystem.

Greenpeace errichtet steinerne Barriere in der Ostsee - Tag 2

Eine Greenpeace-Aktivistin hält ein Banner mit der Aufschrift "ECHTER SCHUTZ FÜR UNSERE MEERE". Greenpeace Aktivistinnen versenken weiter Granitgestein von Bord der „Beluga II“. Mit den Felsbrocken schützen die Aktivistinnen das Meeresschutzgebiet Adlergrund vor der Zerstörung durch die Grundschleppnetze der Industriefischer. Fischer durchpflügen den Meeresboden sogar in ausdrücklich geschützten Gebieten ganz legal und zerstören so das Ökosystem.

Stone Barrier Action at Adlergrund - Day 2

Greenpeace activists continue to build a granite barrier at Adlergrund in the Baltic Sea for the second day. The activists use granite rocks to protect the marine reserve from destruction by the bottom trawls of industrial fishermen. Fishermen plough through the seabed quite legally even in explicitly protected areas, thus destroying the ecosystem. The "Beluga-II" is travelling to the protected areas of the North- and the Baltic Sea in July and August 2020. Its mission is to fight for "real protected areas" - domestically as well as internationally.
