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.
