Overfishing and dumping of fish nets is destroying the planet and this must stop

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

The government should introduce laws to limit fishing and pressure other countries to do the same. There is no accountability for the illegal overfishing. Fishing corporations are getting away with dumping nets and damaging the Ocean. New measures should be introduced to track and stop this.

Dumping of fish nets and fishing equipment is responsible for over 50% of pollution in the ocean and politicians are protecting these corporations and enabling the destruction of Earth. Climate change will be accelerated if overfishing continues and something must be done to change this.
