Stop all trawler fishing

Rejected 15 signatures

What the petition asks

Ban all trawler fishing in the U.K. and only allow responsible and sustainable fishing

Trawler fishing is destroying our oceans to the extent that they are going to be wiped out completely and since human life depends on our oceans being healthy it is a matter of urgency that we all be involved in the responsibility of doing what we can.

Why it was rejected

It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

We understand that you are concerned about existing fishing practices, but we're not sure exactly what types of fishing you want to be banned, and what types of fishing you want to continue to be permitted.

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
