2nd clipreel - Greenpeace UK activists shadow supertrawler 'Willem van der Zwan' as it goes through MPA (marine protected area) Offshore Overfalls. The Willem van der Zwan is one of the largest fishing vessels on earth, and has consistently fished in UK protected areas.
Greenpeace UK's Operation Ocean Witness is a six month operation, involving a new Greenpeace boat called Sea Beaver, which will patrol the UK’s protected areas off the south coast and do what the government has so far failed to do - protect the UK’s marine protected areas from destructive fishing, a key Brexit promise which has been broken. Operation Ocean Witness will operate out of Newhaven from June until Autumn 2021.
