UK to announce plans to extend seabed trawling ban
The UK will announce an extension of its ban on "destructive" seabed trawling to more than half of protected English seas at an UN Ocean Conference on Monday, its environment minister said. "Tomorrow at the UN Ocean Conference in France, I'll announce the government's plans to ban bottom trawling across 41 protected areas of English seas spanning 30,000 square kilometres," or 11,600 square miles, environment minister Steve Reed wrote in the Observer newspaper on Sunday.
