Stephen Fry and Theo James to star in film about marine bottom trawling

Launch comes as charities call on UK government to ban destructive' fishing industry practice in protected areas

Stephen Fry and Theo James are to star in a darkly satirical short film about bottom trawling, a controversial industrial process that drags heavy fishing nets across the seabed, killing everything in its path.

Bottom Line, launching on World Ocean Day (Sunday), is by the ocean conservation charity Blue Marine Foundation. Before the United Nations Ocean Conference, Blue Marine Foundation, Only One and Oceana UK are calling on the UK government to impose an immediate ban on bottom trawling in all UK marine-protected areas.
