Saturday, 29 May
14:30-15:45 CEST

This session will discuss the impact of bottom trawl fishing - its impact on biodiversity, climate and local economies. We will investigate Greens' potential role in impacting the European Commission's upcoming oceans protection action plan, as part of a larger push to protect 30% of oceans by 2030.

Participants will also have the opportunity to briefly discuss their country and party's work in protecting oceans.

Attendees will learn about the TILT campaign on banning bottom trawling in marine protected areas.
