The world's second-largest factory trawler - a giant floating fish processing vessel - is currently fishing off the Irish coast – and could be heading to waters off Northern Ireland
The world's second-largest factory trawler - a giant floating fish processing vessel - is currently fishing off the Irish coast – and could be heading to waters off Northern Ireland.
The giant FV Margiris is equal in length to 14 regular-sized trawlers and drags vast nets stretching the distance of six football pitches. It has been called, by critics, a "floating Death Star" and a "threat to fishing communities and their seas".Critics including Greenpeace say it clears large swathes of ocean of virtually all marine life, including pods of dolphins that Greenpeace claim have been pictured caught in its nets.
The Blue Planet Society, which campaigns on ocean conservation, has warned that these types of ships can wipe out both stocks and sustainable, local fisheries such as the ones Ireland is trying to foster off our coasts.
