What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Greenpeace released nine unauthorized boulders off the east coast of England using the ship Arctic Sunrise. The action aimed to create a barrier that disrupts bottom trawling by fishing vessels in the Southern North Sea Marine Protected Area (MPA). Greenpeace claimed the boulders effectively closed 116 sq km of the MPA to bottom trawling. The Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs stated that all activities at sea must be carried out lawfully.
