Petition: Stop Bottom Trawling From Wiping Out Entire Ocean Floor Ecosystems

Bottom trawling drags massive weighted nets across the ocean floor, scraping everything in their path. A new global study found over 3,000 species recorded in trawl catches, with around 95% considered bycatch, meaning they were never the intended target. Endangered sharks, seahorses, and countless vulnerable creatures are pulled up and often discarded or never recorded. You can demand change by visiting Sign the petition now and urging the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration to act now.

Entire branches of marine life are disappearing before scientists even know what is being lost. This is not sustainable, and it does not have to continue. More than 40,000 people have already signed to push for an immediate ban. Add your name at Sign the petition now and help protect ocean ecosystems from further devastation.
