The NGOs claim that this situation puts the long-term sustainability of the fisheries in jeopardy in addition to compromising the integrity of these places. Legal action will be taken in a French court if the government fails to appropriately respond to this formal request. The request specifically targets two maritime protected areas, Chausey and Bancs des Flandres, where bottom trawling is causing habitat destruction.

"It's amazing to be the first person to touch something that existed 237 million years ago." The rise of the dinosaurs may be explained by a fossil that is thought to be among the oldest ever discovered. The discovery of the 237 million-year-old reptile was reported by Brazilian scientists. The four-legged reptile species, known as Gondwanax paraisensis, was around one meter (39 inches) long, weighed between three and six kilograms (7 and 13 pounds), and was about the size of a small dog with a long tail, the scientists said in a statement on Monday. When the planet was much hotter, the little reptile would have probably traversed the area that is now southern Brazil. It has been determined that the fossil belongs to the extinct silesaurid group of reptiles. Whether silesaurids were actual dinosaurs or perhaps a forerunner of the animals that formerly ruled the planet is up for contention among paleontologists. According to the statement, "knowing the traits of these...
