自2020年以来,英国海洋保护区允许捕捞超过130万鱼. UK marine protected areas allowed over 1.3 million tonnes of fish to be harvested since 2020.

2020年至2024年,英国海洋保护区捕捞了超过130万鱼类,尽管这些区域被指定为保存海洋生物. Over 1.3 million tonnes of fish were harvested from UK marine protected areas from 2020 to 2024, despite these zones being designated to conserve marine life. 环保组织称这种情况是"国家丑闻", 认为保护措施仍然无效, 因为工业捕捞 (包括底层拖网) 在纸上基本没有受到控制. Environmental groups call the situation a "national scandal," arguing that protections remain ineffective because industrial fishing, including bottom trawling, continues largely unchecked on paper.
