Hugh's campaign attracts nearly 30,000 signatories.

Conservation minded chef and food campaigner, Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall's FishFight campaign, designed to draw attention to the waste issue surrounding discarded fish at sea in time for the annual EU quota carve-up has attracted nearly 30,000 signatures in a couple of days. All the national papers have run stories and managed to come up with some unusual figures - in the Independent's article one reader makes sense of the more likely figure of many millions of fish being discarded than the quoted 1 million!
