Large-scale bottom trawling is strip-mining our sounds and estuaries. The evidence is right here in this video—nets that should be full of shrimp are instead packed with dying bycatch.
This isn’t sustainable fishing. It’s environmental destruction that is causing fisheries to collapse in North Carolina.
House Bill 442 offers a solution. By prohibiting destructive large-scale trawling in our most sensitive waters, we can protect the juvenile nursery grounds that sustain our entire coastal ecosystem.
Take action now: Call or write your state representative. Ask them to support HB 442, which is up for a vote now.
Thank you for helping protect our North Carolina coastal environment and wildlife now and for future generations.
