The consequences of bycatch are devastating.
Seabirds, porpoises, seals, sharks and other wildlife are accidentally caught in fishing gear intended to catch other species, often suffering injury, drowning or slow deaths.
The shocking reality? Bycatch is avoidable. Solutions exist, but progress by Government has been far too slow.
Our new report, Hidden in the Haul: The true scale of bycatch, reveals the impact this hidden issue is having on marine wildlife and why urgent action is needed.

@CarolineLucas could really do with a web page of its own to facilitate retweeting. (also, i do recall Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall running a very successful campaign to curb by-catch some years ago - seems we've rolled backwards again since then).
