Current campaign

Be a Fishermen’s Friend
The Common Fisheries Policy (CFP) is broken, and this year we have the once in a decade chance to fix it. Greenpeace is building an alliance with small scale fishermen to create public support for sustainable fishing methods and political pressure to reform the CFP. Greenpeace volunteers are inviting the public, in the Southeast and Southwest, to sign postcards to MEPs and everyone to text FRIEND to 66777 to become a Fishermen’s Friend. Please get involved, contact your local network coordinator and text us now.

Upcoming events
