Cod Action at DEFRA HQ in London

Greenpeace delivers a one metre long cod in a mock funeral procession to DEFRA the UK Government's environment department, in Westminster, London, UK. The action was on the eve of the announcement of fishing quotas for next year by the Fishing Ministers for Europe who are widely expected to ignore scientific advice calling for a halt to cod fishing. Greenpeace is arguing for the establishment of fully protected marine reserves.
