Greece has become the first European country to ban bottom trawling in its marine protected areas by 2030, dividing the ban into phases with complete prohibition by 2026 in national marine parks. This move aims to protect biodiversity, reduce carbon storage disturbance, and encourage sustainable fishing practices. In other news, Poland's HiProMine has initiated Central Europe's largest insect protein plant to support sustainable aquaculture.
