No, not that. Your fishing fleet… how big is your fishing fleet? No
idea? It seems that European governments don’t know either. That’s quite
a problem when size is at the heart of our overfishing problems.

The
phalanx of stormtroopers we sent to the hush-hush car lobby meeting today
have certainly had an effect. Even though it seems we were expected, their
presence created a disturbance in the Force for the car industry bosses who had
to walk past them, although for some it was all too much.
Volkswagen is lobbying against car efficiency laws in Europe
Back in 2007 when the
European Commission was trying to agree a law that would force car makers to
produce less-polluting cars, I saw first hand how car manufacturers tried every
trick in the book to stop it being passed.

What a day: hijacking London's largest ad space, stormtroopers in Old Street trending on Twitter, blanket coverage in the PR press, called "masters of the PR stunt" and more than 2000 new people like us on Facebook in 12 hours, it's fair to say our latest campaign launch went well.
Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall launches Fish Fight Europe outside the EU Commission, Brussels
From the UK to Europe:
Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall’s Fish Fight has become an incredible force for
change, with over 678 100 emails sent calling for an end to the insane practise of
discards in the UK – and now the battle’s moving to the continent.
Greenpeace Campaigner Hanne Larsen holds a Cod to be discarded due to current EU quota systems
In case you missed it, last week a progressive debate was held in the House of
Commons about the future of UK fish: centred on the urgent need for reform of European fisheries
laws, and ending the needless waste of excess catch known as ‘discards’.
For many people, the three
words ‘Common Fisheries Policy’ previously went hand in hand with another four
words: ‘What does that mean?’ Either that or, a hefty yawn and a glazed look.

Today many people are struggling to recover from the effects of the earthquakes and tsunami. The focus now for everybody should be on saving lives and supporting people in Japan. Our thoughts are also with the heroic engineers working to reduce the impact of the nuclear accident at Fukushima.

If yesterday’s news is supposed to be today’s
fish and chip wrappers, then today we have an odd scenario: your fish supper is
probably wrapped in a hefty helping of column inches on fishing.
Now you see it...: cod caught in the North Sea and about to be discarded
Discards are disgusting. No-one with any sense can support the
catching, killing, and throwing away of fish. Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall’s Fish Fight
– which Greenpeace has supported from the outset - has at long last made the
waste of perfectly good fish a national outrage. It is a pointless
waste of life, and potential resources. It’s abhorrent whether you eat fish or
don’t.
