Earlier this year thousands of WWF supporters helped us campaign for a robust reform of the Common Fisheries Policy. We need your help again.

Now our attention has turned to the subsidy system -- the European Maritime and Fisheries Fund.

WWF and partners are urging members of the European Parliament to show once again their support for sustainable fishing policies.

Historically, subsidies have contributed to boosting the European Union's fishing fleet capacity by funding the construction of new vessels. As a consequence, the fishing fleet is estimated to be two to three times larger than sustainable fisheries would allow.

Join us and ask your member of the European Parliament to invest in more fish, not in more boats! Take action: http://votefish.org
