Sussex becomes first council to ban fishing along coast to cut greenhouse emissions following Attenborough-backed campaign Trawling has been banned along a 304 km2 stretch of Sussex coast after a campaign to save its kelp forests, backed by Sir David Attenborough.
Sussex Council on Thursday passed a bylaw prohibiting trawling year-round to protect the underwater forest, which sucks up massive amounts of planet-warming carbon, in what campaigners said was the first law of its kind to help cut greenhouse gas emissions.
