Will the government ban destructive fishing methods and protect natural marine environments?
Last year, we caught up with Baroness Sugg in this episode of Inside Lords Questions, when she pressed the government on whether it planned to ban bottom trawling and dredging in marine protected areas. Watch the full question to hear from other Lords members on the topic and see how the government responded https://orlo.uk/ChA5y
Bottom trawling is a fishing method that drags large nets along the seafloor. Sir David Attenborough drew attention to the impact of this practice on areas of seabed and marine life in his documentary ‘Ocean’.
Look out for more episodes of Inside Lords Questions where we’ll speak to different members about the questions they raise to government. https://orlo.uk/n3TDG
