World leaders met on France’s Atlantic coast to discuss protecting the planet’s oceans from threats such as overfishing and plastic pollution.

The One Ocean Summit comes as European authorities investigate a mass fish dumping in the Bay of Biscay which environmental activists are calling an example of abuses by huge trawlers that disrupt undersea ecosystems.
