Summary
Bottom trawling in UK marine protected areas hit 37,200 hours in one site alone in 2025. Greenpeace dropped granite boulders into the Southern North Sea MPA -- the UK's most trawled offshore protected zone -- to stop trawlers after the government failed to deliver its promised ban. The harbour porpoise sanctuary has had no fishing restrictions since its 2019 designation.
