📢 Today marks the EU #EndOfFishDay, the day when Europe has exhausted its domestic seafood for 2026 & start depending on imports. We must align seafood consumption with what the ocean can provide. seas-at-risk.org/press-releas... #EUFisheries #EndOverfishing #RethinkFisheries #PressRelease

Without the Habitats Directive, marine mammals, countless species, and #Natura2000 habitats are left defenseless. We have to protect the laws that protect #OurOcean! Tell the EU now: #HandsOffNature and ✍️sign here handsoffnature.eu #EUFisheries #MPAs #EUBiodiversity

🚨 Landmark ruling for Europe’s oceans A Dutch court has ruled that destructive #BottomTrawling can no longer take place in the Dutch #DoggerBank #MPA without proper permits & envi assessments. This is a major breakthrough for marine protection in Europe! oceanographicmagazine.com/news/dutch-c...

Happy #DeepDay! 🎉 Today we join organisations worldwide in celebrating the #DeepSea, our planet’s vital blue heart! 🩵 The deep sea is threatened by #DeepSeaMining! Let’s make sure the deep sea is saved for us, our planet and future generations!

📢New study reveals that #BottomTrawling catches ~3000 species, incl threatened ones.🐡Yet it continues in #MPAs. This must end. #MPAs are meant to safeguard marine species, #BottomTrawling does the exact opposite. #ProtectedMeansProtected news.mongabay.com/short-articl... #EUFisheries #EUBiodiversity

The EC's evaluation on #CFP is out! 1⃣law is sound 2⃣Implementation is failing What we need is implementation! The Vision for fair, low-impact fisheries helps to embrace long-term sustainability. Read our #PressRelease 👉 seas-at-risk.org/press-releas... #RethinkFisheries #EUFisheries #EUBiodiversity

EC report on #MSPD shows #EUOceanGovernance remains fragmented 🌊 The #EUOceanAct is a critical opportunity to fix this, but only if it goes beyond a simple revision of the Directive 👉 seas-at-risk.org/press-releas... #EUOceanAct #OceanGovernance #EUBlueEconomy

Today @europarl.europa.eu voted for the EU to defend a #moratorium on #DeepSeaMining + to take action against any unlawful US-led deep-sea mining. The vote is a clear signal to the EU to step-up its game to defend the rules and the #DeepSea. Read more here🔗 seas-at-risk.org/general-news...

Why are European taxpayers paying €1.17B in subsidies for a practice that costs society €16B in damages? 📉 #BottomTrawling is profitable only through public money. We must stop funding the destruction of our own seas. #TaxpayerMoney #MFF #EUBlueEconomy news.nationalgeographic.org/new-peer-rev...

Catching unwanted fish & dumping them back into the sea weaken the whole ecosystem. We call on #AGRIFISH Ministers & Commissioner Kadis to prevent this by fully implementing the #CFP with ecosystem-based approach & selective fishing. #RethinkFisheries #EUFisheries seas-at-risk.org/publications...

Poor implementation of the #CFP continues to harm low-impact fishers. Quotas are required to be allocated using envi & social criteria. Yet large vessels still take the biggest share. It's time Member States fully implement the #CFP! #RethinkFisheries #EUFisheries 🌊 seas-at-risk.org/publications...

Our new wind study shows that: ⛵ 6.3–9.4% fuel savings 🌍 Up to 762 million tonnes of CO₂e saved by 2050 - ~ the same as removing 170m cars from the road for a year 🚢 Top 5k ships (bulk carriers & tankers) could unlock 50% of the saving Shall we let that sink in? seas-at-risk.org/publications...

Today, NGOs delivered a symbolic Pandora’s Box to Commissioner Costas Kadis. A visual reminder that reopening the #CFP could create regulatory chaos and undermine years of progress for Europe’s fisheries and coastal communities. #RethinkFisheries #EUbiodiversity With @oceanaeurope.bsky.social

🌊 Small-scale fishers in the Med warn that fish populations are declining. 🐟 We don’t need a new law, we need to properly implement the rules of the #CommonFisheriesPolicy. ⚖️ #RethinkFisheries #EUFisheries #EUBiodiversity #EUOceanPact #CFP #AGRIFISH seas-at-risk.org/press-releas...

💰🌊 #DeepSeaMining is losing its financial licence to operate. 82 financial institutions managing €24T have adopted policies restricting or raising concerns about it. Finance is recognising what science warned: this is a high-risk industry. 📄 Read the report: seas-at-risk.org/publications...

💰 #DeepSeaMining is a high-risk gamble. ⚠️ Never proven at commercial scale 📉 Price drops could erase profits 🏦 ~80 financial institutions have raised concerns As the ISA Council starts today, the message is clear. 🔗 seas-at-risk.org/wp-content/u... #DefendTheDeep #KeepItInTheSeabed

⚖️The global system to regulate #DeepSeaMining isn’t ready. Key rules under the International Seabed Authority are still unresolved - and science can’t yet define “acceptable harm” in the deep sea. ❌That’s why momentum is growing globally for a moratorium. seas-at-risk.org/wp-content/u...

While the European Commission discusses its #Vision2040 for Fisheries &Aquaculture during #EUOceanDays, we urge policy makers to take inspiration from the vision for fair, low-impact fisheries & stakeholders to endorse it! Find out more: 👉 rethinkfisheries.eu #RethinkFisheries

🌍 #DeepSeaMining risks more geopolitical tension, rather than boost mineral security. ⚠️ No proven supply chain 🌐 Relies on existing players 📉 Too speculative to reshape supply Real resilience = less demand + more recycling ♻️ 🔗 seas-at-risk.org/wp-content/u... @deepseaconserve.bsky.social

🌱 Is #DeepSeaMining needed for the #GreenTransition? No - it’s a false solution. 🔋 New batteries reduce demand ♻️ Recycling & reuse are growing 📉 Smarter use could cut demand by 58% Don’t let it distract from real solutions. 🔗 seas-at-risk.org/wp-content/u... @deepseaconserve.bsky.social

As EU Commissioner Costas Kadis said, the updated Fisheries Control Regulation was a major achievement. 🚀 Now it's time to follow through - tackling hidden overfishing & ensuring fair fisheries across Europe depends on it. Leadership = delivering on what was agreed. www.youtube.com/watch?v=UHLu...
