*[Enwl-eng] we can't allow waste from indiscriminate overfishing to continue

[ENWL]

                        The industry kills millions of fish that will never be eaten by anyone.
                       
                 
           
                       
                 
           
                       
                 
           
                        The Fishing Process Wastes or Loses More Than One Third of Already-Overfished Species

                        Earlier this year, a fishing trawler off the coast of France released a whopping 100,000 dead fish into the water, creating a silver blanket on the ocean's surface that stretched for several thousand square meters. The images of the scene are harrowing, and not only because it represents such colossal damage to the local marine ecosystem. This dump is part of a broader scam by the fishing industry, a notoriously anti-environmental sector. Unsustainable practices like bottom-trawling indiscriminately kill all different types of sea life in a boat's path, including creatures the fishermen never intend to sell. This means that millions of fish are killed each year — never even to be eaten at all.



                        Fish populations are already at extremely high risk. Pollution and climate change are threatening many species of fish with extinction in the coming decades. This grows ever worse as global warming makes ocean waters increasingly uninhabitable. But the fish industry is exacerbating crisis by every measure, both through overfishing and through sheer waste. Discarding unwanted fish is a callous way to treat marine life. Experts estimate that around 35% of overfished organisms are ultimately wasted or lost. The industry is simply killing innocent creatures who are already at risk of extinction, and leaving local ecosystems in even more disarray with thousands of tons of dead fish waste floating about. We must put pressure on the United Nations Environment Programme to  take immediate action. It must protect our oceans' biodiversity before it is too late!

                        P.S. When species go extinct, there is no way to bring them back — yet these reckless fishing practices push marine life ever closer to the brink of extinction. Sign the petition.
