Operation Ocean Witness - on patrol with Greenpeace in the English Channel

Drone footage of the vessel Arpege flyshooting in the English Channel.

Flyshooting is a highly unsustainable way of fishing where wires/ropes are laid out for miles into a diamond shape to drive fish into a net at the centre of the wires.

Greenpeace UK Operation Ocean Witness is a six month operation, involving the new Greenpeace boat called Sea Beaver. Sea Beaver is patrolling the sea off the South Coast of the UK and do what the government has so far failed to do - protect the UK’s marine protected areas from destructive unsustainable fishing, a key Brexit promise which has been broken. Operation Ocean Witness is operating out of Newhaven from June until Autumn 2021.
