绿色和平组织表示,该组织已在北海利用巨石构建水下屏障,以防止在一个旨在保护海豚的区域内进行“破坏性捕鱼”。
Greenpeace says it has formed an underwater barrier with boulders in the North Sea to prevent "destructive fishing" in an area created to protect porpoises.
这家环保组织称,其在英格兰东海岸外的行动旨在阻止“底拖网捕鱼”——一种将渔具拖曳过海床以网捕鱼类的捕鱼方式。
The environmental group said its action off England's eastern coast was to prevent "bottom trawling" - a method of fishing in which gear is dragged across the seabed to scoop up fish.
活动人士周末将重达两吨的巨石部署在南北海海洋保护区的海床上,该保护区被指定用于保护鼠海豚。
Activists deployed the boulders, which weigh up to two tonnes each, onto the seabed at the weekend in the Southern North Sea Marine Protected Area, which is designated to protect harbour porpoises.
绿色和平组织表示,分析显示,2025年,底拖网渔船在该保护区内记录了超过3.7万小时的捕鱼作业,远超任何其他近海海洋保护区。
Greenpeace said analysis shows that in 2025, bottom trawlers logged more than 37,000 fishing hours in the protected zone, far more than in any other offshore marine protected area.
活动人士称,底拖网捕鱼破坏脆弱的海床栖息地,耗尽鼠海豚赖以生存的关键鱼类资源,并干扰其捕猎能力。
The campaigners said bottom trawling destroys delicate seafloor habitats, depletes key fish stocks the porpoises rely on and disrupts their ability to hunt.
绿色和平组织声称,已有效封闭了该海洋保护区内44平方英里(116平方公里)——约相当于纽卡斯尔面积大小的区域——禁止底拖网捕鱼,并将其宣布为“海洋公园”。
Greenpeace claims to have effectively closed 44 sq miles (116 sq km) - roughly an area the size of Newcastle - of the marine protected area to bottom trawling in what they have declared as an "ocean park".
该组织表示,演员西蒙·佩吉和本尼迪克特·康伯巴奇在巨石上签名,“标志着他们希望”对这类海洋区域进行妥善保护。
Actors Simon Pegg and Benedict Cumberbatch signed their names to the boulders, "marking their wish" for proper protection of such marine areas, said the group.
绿色和平组织船只“北极日出号”将在未来几天巡逻该区域,以阻止其他类型的破坏性捕鱼。
Greenpeace vessel the Arctic Sunrise will patrol the area to deter other types of destructive fishing over the coming days.
绿色和平组织补充称,南北海支持着英国北海鼠海豚种群近20%的数量。
The Southern North Sea supports nearly 20% of the UK North Sea population of harbour porpoises, Greenpeace added.
绿色和平组织英国分部联合执行总监威尔·麦卡勒姆表示,该运动团体曾在6月警告政府采取行动保护海洋。
Will McCallum, co-executive director of Greenpeace UK, said the campaign group warned the government in June to take action to protect the seas.
他补充道:“现在我们向部长们发起大胆挑战——在国内所有受保护水域全面禁止破坏性捕鱼,并带头在整个大西洋建立全球海洋保护区网络。”
"Now we're setting a bold challenge to ministers - ban destructive fishing across all our protected waters at home, and lead the charge for a network of global ocean sanctuaries right across the Atlantic," he added.
稀有蚁群被盗 男子完成28年徒步之旅 工党议员、前气候大臣凯里·麦卡锡也在一块巨石上签名,她表示:“工业化捕捞正在对我们的海洋环境造成极大的破坏性影响,但我们的海洋中受到保护、免受其害的区域还不到1%。
Rare ant colony stolen Man finishes 28-year walk Labour MP and former climate minister Kerry McCarthy, who also signed one of the boulders, said: "Industrialised fishing is having a hugely destructive impact on our marine environment, yet less than 1% of our seas are protected from it.
“我们需要禁止底拖网捕捞,并建立真正受保护的海洋圣地,无论是在英国水域,还是整个大西洋。”
"We need a ban on bottom trawling and properly protected ocean sanctuaries, both here in UK waters and right across the Atlantic Ocean."
