Brexit’s environmental silver lining: an opportunity to ban supertrawlers from UK waters
Environmental groups fear link between huge ships and spikes in dolphin deaths
Brexit offers the perfect opportunity to ban industrial supertrawler fishing boats from UK waters, according to campaigners.
The factory-sized ships can be hundreds of feet long and have been criticised for indiscriminate fishing as they catch hundreds of thousands of fish in short periods. Environmentalists fear their presence correlates with spikes in numbers of dolphins washing up dead.
