Official reports of former fishing activities in this region and season reveal how one vessel in one single trip dumped up to 600 tonnes of fish, the equivalent to 2 million meals.The discard can be carried out for various reasons: high grading, the small size of the fish, fish that the vessel has no quota for and other non marketable marine life bycatch.Greenpeace is campaigning to end overfishing, to stop destructive monster boats and to promote low-impact fishing methods.Related Collections:Documentation of Fishing Activities in the English Channel (Photos & Videos)
