Don't waste this oppor-tuna-ty6 June 2012
Get our fish off the hook with a photo outside your local chippy.
All you have to do to take part in our new online action is take a photo whilst holding up a bag of chips and one of our speech bubble props - preferably outside your local Fish and Chip shop.
It's a fun and easy way to show MEPs that we care about fishing policies.
We want to take advantage of a number of key dates in late May and early June to help bring the depletion of fish stocks to public attention.
Starting on International Biodiversity day 22 May we'll be asking people around the country to get involved in a special online action.
Marinet's proposals for the Common Fisheries Policy are that it should:
- Ensure food security.
- Allow for the restoration of fish stocks to the maximum levels currently feasible.
- Guarantee that fishing is limited in spawning and nursery grounds
We're asking MEPs to vote in favour of these policy proposals in July. If you'd like to take part you can download the action guide and speech bubble props.
