Eco Chamber

High seas for bottom-trawling and Planning Bill amendments

Listen on

Episode notes

Every week, the ENDS team enters the ECO Chamber to discuss the UK’s biggest green news stories and bring you up to speed on the latest developments in environmental policy.

This week, ENDS journalists are joined by Alyx Elliott, campaigns director at Oceana UK as we analyse the consequences of a proposed extension to England's bottom trawling ban which would see it cover more UK marine protected areas. 

The team also looks at the government's proposed amendments to "instill further confidence" in its new Planning and Infrastucture Bill.

PLUS: the "worst environmental crime scene" in Northern Ireland's history, a new cross-government nature strategy, and a former EA chair’s grudge against toxic farm sludge.
