The director of the hit Netflix documentary Seaspiracy has called on the UK government to create and enforce “no-catch” marine reserves in at least 30% of UK waters.

The film about the fishing industry’s impact on sea life and the oceans has been a juggernaut success on the streaming service, and a petition set up by Ali Tabrizi, the film’s director and narrator, has garnered more than 660,000 signatures.
