    Vote on the 18th regarding trawling in the fishing industry

    Do you like dolphins and turtles? If yes, please sign the petition to ban trawling in HK waters. Trawling is a destructive method of fishing that kills marine life including dolphins and turtles and depletes the fish stocks so that over time there will be fewer fish for next generations.

    Not sure whether this is political or better in living in Hong Kong - so I put it here.

    Here is the link to the organisation trying to get a petition together:

    Living Seas Hong Kong

    (Disclaimer - I don't know much about them)

    Trawling is a disgraceful activity that indiscriminately kills whatever is on the sea floor. Lets hope Legco does the right thing.

    I wouldn't trust that lot to "do the right thing" if it were staring them in the face ... at least signing the petition shows them people are watching.
