Greece has become the first country in Europe to announce a ban on bottom trawling in all of its national marine parks and protected areas. The country will spend €780m (£666m) to protect its “diverse and unique marine ecosystems”. theguardian.com/environment/20…
@Seasaver Am I reading this right? Aren't marine parks and protected areas no-go zones for fishing and trawling by definition? If not, what exactly are they protected from?😮
@Seasaver Hoorah!!! Amazing decision, well done Greece, you are leading the world!!!!
@Seasaver @SydesJokes Well done Greece 👏
@Seasaver Wait, it was legal to bottom trawl in marine parks?
@Seasaver This a geopolitical move. It turns the heat up on Turkey for sending out their energy exploration ships near the Dodecanese.
@Seasaver Other countries should do the same #ProtectTheOcean #ProtectMarineLife
