Supported by a South Park animation, Greenpeace is using a special ringtone and text alert sound in its campaign for a moratorium on bottom trawling in the ocean.

This year alone Greenpeace have delivered over 200,000 emails, letters and postcards to the decision-makers around the planet and over 1500 marine scientists have signed a petition for the world to support a moratorium to protect deep sea life from bottom trawling.

Greenpeace says that at the moment, the EU, under the influence of Spain as well as Canada, are opposed to this and developed the viral cartoon and ringtone campaign to remind supporters to take action.

The free MP3 format ringtones and an SMS alert of "Oh my God, they killed Squiddy!" can be downloaded here: Blame Canada! Ringtones
