Save Our Seabirds from Danish Over-fishing

Stop Denmark from fishing British waters for sand eels, the main food of puffins and kittiwakes.

Why is this important?

Denmark recently upped its catch from 82,000 to 458,000 tons a year. Most of this becomes fishmeal to feed farmed salmon, mink and livestock. Meanwhile, puffins and kittiwakes can't feed their young. The RSPB recommends a total ban on fishing for sand eels.
