This campaign is to prevent the super trawler, the FV Abel Tasman (formally the Margiris) from fishing in Australian waters. "While the super trawler can’t currently fish in Australia, the change in the law doesn’t mean it won’t be able to fish in future. There has been no categorical ban on super trawlers."
This campaign called on supporters to send a letter to both the Federal Environment Minister Peter Garrett and the Chief Minister of the Northern Territory to protect Top End seas.
