The seven suggested marine reserves are essential for the reproduction of fish or provide a home for special marine life like vulnerable shells, colorful cold water coral or dolphins. Greenpeace wants harmful activities like fishing, oil, gas or sand extraction, bottom trawling or dumping of waste to be prohibited in these reserves. Also the Esperanza team investigated the by-catch of a Belgian trawler. A two-hour fishing trip 'produced' 11.000 dead soil animals. The Dogger bank reserve is an area of 85.000 square kilometer which lies in the middle of the North Sea and is a part of the Dutch, German, English, Danish and Norwegian North Sea and is one of the seven suggested marine reserves. Only when these activities will be prohibited in the marine reserves, will nature and fish populations have a chance to recover. The current European management of the North Sea is totally fragmented. Every activity like fishery, nature management, shipping, oil and gas extraction, has its own policy. Because of this there is no univocal vision which prevents good management of these valuable areas.Related Collections:North Sea and Baltic Sea Marine Reserves Tour (Photos & Videos)
