Macron Loves Trawling

Ocean Rebellion stages 'Macron Loves Trawling' protest in Nice


Activists from Ocean Rebellion stage a street theatre protest in Nice. The performance features a performer in a caricature mask of President Emmanuel Macron, depicted as a servant to industrial fishing interests. The activists use the performance to accuse French and EU leaders of failing to protect the ocean, alleging that destructive practices like bottom trawling continue in Marine Protected Areas despite political commitments. The demonstration calls for an end to industrial fishing subsidies and a ban on trawling to protect marine biodiversity and traditional fishing communities.
