Fishlove Photos 2013 by Denis Rouvre

Fishlove, a controversial photography project focused on sustainable fishing, has entered a third year of production with a series of photographs by Denis Rouvre. This year’s campaign focuses on concerns about French deep-sea bottom trawling in European waters, a practice that is wiping out deep sea ecosystems the size of London every day. Online at fishlove.co.uk, the campaign encourages signatures of a petition at avaaz.org/Fishlove. The collection, photographed by French portrait photographer Denis Rouvre, includes images of Gillian Anderson, Olivia Williams, Goldie and a number of French celebrities posing with fish. The European Parliament on Tuesday December 10, 2013 sided voted against an overall ban on deep-sea trawling, but agreed to restrict some of the worst excesses of the practice such as trawling in areas with ecosystems most at risk.
