The European Parliament today voted for moves to ban the use of electric currents for fishing. Electric pulse fishing which is practiced by some European fishing trawlers, is used to drive fish up out of the seabed and into fishing nets. Critics says it’s unnecessary, cruel and distructive. The Sinn Fein MEP Liadh Ni Riada, who is on the European Parliament’s Fisheries Committee, says there’s no justification for electric pulse fishing.
