New Update on this Positive News! Denmark have followed Sweden’s move, recently announcing a ban on bottom-trawling fishing in 17% of Danish waters - covering areas of key marine importance. This puts further pressure on EU nations to do the same. #nature #naturewriting #positive #news #ocean

Amazing news - now it falls to the UK government to follow suit and end the #Rosebank oil project
