What the petition asks
The Government should set up an independent inquiry into the possible link between marine fatalities in the sea and the development and dredging of Teesside Freeport.
The Government should ban development and dredging of Teesside Freeport in the meantime. A study shows the presence of pyridine in dead crabs at fatal levels which could have been released by dredging.
