Save Our Sprat West Cork

Every autumn large, Irish-owned trawlers, work in pairs to systematically target small forage fish like sprat when they shoal in our sheltered bays to spawn. Sprat populations are crashing, causing a critical cascade effect through our fragile marine ecosystem.

Our whales are gone, our mackerel are gone, and beneath the surface so is much, much more. Our coastal waters, the lifeblood of any island nation, are on the verge of ecological collapse. So we're calling on you, the people of West Cork and beyond, to say enough is enough, and insist the Irish Government puts a stop to this unsustainable and grossly damaging activity... before it's too late.
