Across Europe fishing industries are going under and coastal communities are in serious decline. Many dolphins, turtles and other animals are accidentally killed and unique habitats are crushed by nets dragged along the sea bed. The result: Europe's fishermen fish further and further away - taking fish from African waters and beyond. To sign the WWF petition to stop the over-fishing go to http://www.panda.org/stopoverfishing/petition/ THE LONDON INTERNATIONAL DIVE SHOW The weekend of the 1st and 2nd of March sees the LIDS at ExCel - Docklands, London.
