Greenpeace drops nine celebrity-signed boulders to curb North Sea fishing

Environmental activists from Greenpeace have deployed nine limestone boulders in the Southern North Sea to prevent bottom trawling. This underwater barrier aims to protect marine biodiversity, particularly harbour porpoises affected by industrial fishing. Greenpeace argues that government protections have been insufficient to shield marine habitats from destructive fishing methods. The deployment of boulders took place without a marine licence, raising regulatory concerns.
