LONDON - Greenpeace UK said Friday it dropped 18 large boulders on the seabed in a marine conservation zone off the coast of south-west England to prevent"destructive" industrial fishing.
Greenpeace said the boulders would make it impossible for bottom-towed fishing gear to be dragged along the seabed and devastate marine life there. "Greenpeace UK has created this underwater boulder barrier as a last resort to protect the oceans. We'd much rather the government just did their job," he said.
The action comes after the latest round of United Nations talks to try to secure protection for marine life in international waters broke up without an agreement.
