FOR THE STOP OF THE SALE OF DEEP SPECIES

For those who regularly follow the news of Longitude 181 Nature, you have noted that LONGITUDE 181 is fully committed behind the BLOOM association for the prohibition of trawling of deep-sea species. Unfortunately, despite an extraordinary buzz, the European Parliament cast a negative vote with a few votes. The vote was lost even though it was won in the archives of Parliament.

The mobilization, your mobilization, has had concrete results:
- One week before the vote, on December 2, CASINO announced the end of sales of deep cash in January 2014,
- The day before the vote, on December 9, CARREFOUR announced a similar measure that would be implemented by June 2014,
- A few hours after the vote, Intermarché published on its Facebook page that its fleet now wanted to avoid targeting deep-sea species.

Your mobilization convinced the economic actors to act where the elected officials fail.

Here's a new petition (if you don't know it yet). This is to challenge the three distributors who have not yet decided on stopping the sale of deep cash. If you want to encourage them in this direction, it's here:

If you want to go further and are usually customers of these distributors, you can drop them a note on their facebook pages asking them, as customers, to stop selling deep cash.
