Greenpeace And Cetacean By-Catch (EDM463)

Greenpeace And Cetacean By-Catch

EDM number 463 in 2003-04, proposed by Adrian Sanders on 21/01/2004.

That this House commends the recent launch of the Greenpeace ship Esperanza and the organisation's investigation into cetacean by-catch as a consequence of pelagic pair trawling in the Western Approaches and the Irish Sea; notes however that hundreds of dead dolphins, porpoises and small whales continue to be washed ashore onto West Country beaches every day when pair trawlers are active; and urges Her Majesty's Government and the EU to ban pair trawling for bass immediately, to prevent any further unnecessary slaughter.

This motion has been signed by a total of 44 MPs.
