Commercial sandeel fishery

, If this Greenpeace petition is suitable for inclusion in the blog could you submit my email . Thanks, Dave. The commercial fishing of sandeels should be halted immediately in many people's mind as the eels are caught primarily for use as a source of fish oils & meal for processed foods & animal feeds other than sold for human consumption. This link is an article in the Guardian about this
