#supertrawler
The #supertrawler fleet has been massing to the south west of Ireland over the last week, including the notorious Margiris at 143 metres. There are currently seven vessels in the area with four more supertrawlers moving west through the channel potentially on course to join them.

#Supertrawlers are giant pelagic trawlers, catching thousands of tonnes of their target species & huge levels of #bycatch, in kilometre-long nets with 200-metre-wide net mouths.

#Dolphinsarentdiscard
The #DolphinsArentDiscard team, and our friends at @Seasaver, took advantage of the seasonal halt in #supertrawler activity to monitor the fleet offloading and preparing to return to sea at their home port in the Netherlands 🇳🇱 🧵
We joined our friends at @SussexDolphin this weekend in the channel (la Manche) to monitor #supertrawler activity as part of their joint #dolphinsarentdiscard campaign with @WorldCetacean
This weekend, a team from our #dolphinsarentdiscard campaign went to sea to monitor #Supertrawler activity off #Sussex.
We intercepted the Dirk Dirk, a 95 metre Supertrawler, south of Rampion Windfarm, where it was hunting for pelagic fish.

The devastating trail supertrawlers leave behind.
This scale of fishing is not sustainable. Populations can’t recover at the same pace they’re being taken from the ocean, leading to overfishing & creating an imbalance in the ecosystem.

The Carolien, a 126 metre #Supertrawler has been fishing off #Devon this weekend, targeting what they call ‘low value’ fish.
This isn't fishing, it's mass slaughter on an industrial scale and who knows what other marine life will be scooped up in its enormous nets.
👀Oh LOOK
