Eighty percent of people agree that marine wildlife should be treated with the same care as land-based wildlife, a new survey has found.
The independent research was conducted by Savanta for The Wildlife Trusts, ahead of National Marine Week (26th July to 10th August), which is the Trusts’ annual celebration of the seas.
Plus, when told about bottom trawling, which is an industrialised form of fishing during which nets are dragged along the seabed, 57% of people said they were now more likely to buy sustainably caught fish.
Turns out, despite the best efforts of the media and people who’ve already lived 80% of their lives, people in the UK actually quite like having a nice environment!
