Sustainable Fishing

EDM number 47 in 2006-07, proposed by Bill Wiggin on 15/11/2006.

That this House is concerned about the impact of overfishing on the world's oceans; is further concerned about the destructive and wasteful fishing methods that affect the sustainability of fish stocks, including Atlantic cod, haddock, tropical prawns, swordfish and blue fin tuna, as noted in the Greenpeace report A Recipe for Disaster; recognises that unless action is taken on these most vulnerable and destructively fished species to ensure their sustainability, there is a fundamental threat not just to those populations, but to the future of the British fishing industry as well; and calls upon the Government to work with the fishing industry, the environmental lobby and other countries to ensure the long-term sustainability and profitability of the seas.

This motion has been signed by a total of 101 MPs.
