Love seafood? 🦪 Mussels and oysters still contain hazardous substances like mercury & PCBs. The Baltic Sea is the most affected. Some pollutants are declining, but risks to health remain. Read more from @EUEnvironment 👉 www.eea.europa.eu/en/analysis/... #SeafoodSafety #MarinePollution

Join us! Over 80% of marine waters and more than 30% of coastal and inland waters in the EU are affected by eutrophication, largely driven by nutrient pollution from agriculture

As pressures on water continue to accumulate and intensify—first and foremost pollution—the European Parliament today adopted a resolution on the forthcoming European Water Resilience Strategy, expected on June 4. Check our reaction! #WaterResilience #EU

The publication of the @ec.europa.eu’s work programme confirms its priorities, yet it does not adequately address the unprecedented triple crisis of #pollution, #climatechange, and #biodiversity loss. The #ocean is on the frontline of these crises. In 2025, we will continue advocating for ⬇️

Sea surface temperature in European seas are expected to increase another 2-6°C by 2100 under the high emissions scenario, putting our ecosystems, health & economies at risk. Check the data in the indicator: www.eea.europa.eu/en/analysis/... #EEAIndicator #Oceans #ClimateChange #MarineEnvironment
