South Gare, 19 May 2022

By Tessa Bunney on 30 March 2023

On the morning of 19 May 2022 fishermen from Teesside and the Yorkshire Coast sailed to South Gare near the mouth of the River Tees to protest against dredging off the coast that is causing toxic sludge to pollute the sea.

All along the north-east coast crabs and lobsters have been washing up dead. Fishermen say the unearthing of historical toxins by dredging is to blame, while DEFRA says a natural ‘algal bloom’ is the mostly likely cause. The protesters want DEFRA to reopen the case.
