What the petition asks
The vastly increased EU fishing quota granted to Denmark means our puffins are starving. Puffins, and other birds that rely on sand eels for food for themselves and their young are listed as "Red" on the RSPB's list of species. "Red" means critically endangered. Many of our puffins starved in 2018.
