Supertrawlers have nets the size of 13 747 Jumbo Jets.

A supertrawler operation often uses advanced technology like enhanced sonar and even airplanes and helicopters to locate a bait ball. This bait ball is food for an entire ecosystem of fish and oceanic life.

In Australia, the two-year super trawler ban ends (this month) in November! But there is an international fleet of freezer-factory trawlers on our doorstep and the industry is still trying to bring them into our waters. Sign the new petition and help convince Prime Minister Tony Abbott to permanently protect our marine life, fisheries and the future of our fishing, from all super trawlers!
