🪝Overfishing is decimating our seas and we need to act now to save them. Since Hollywood won’t help us spread the word, it looks like we’ll need the PM to do his job instead. Sign our petition to get the government to stop overfishing in UK waters! 🐟 https://bit.ly/4vgKd2L

🌊 10% of the global ocean is now officially recognised as protected! A big step forward - but celebration must be tempered with urgency, because we only have four years to triple that number if we're to successfully meet the 30x30 goal. Full speed ahead! oceanographicmagazine.com/news/10-of-t...

🚨 The EU has joined other countries in deciding to continue to overfish mackerel despite it being on the brink. Ignoring the science and increasing catch limits? This is how fish populations collapse. We can’t keep making the same mistakes 🐟 https://bit.ly/3QmZSNK

🎉 OCEAN WIN: Scientists exploring the deep Coral Sea off Australia have discovered over 110 new-to-science marine animals, from ghost sharks to sea anemones, living up to 3km below the surface 🌊 https://bit.ly/4e63Hkh

🎣"The uncomfortable truth is that [...] we got better & better at catching, & the system that was meant to manage the industry couldn't keep up. The consequences are plain to be seen in almost every coastal community around Scotland" @thefishingdaily.bsky.social thefishingdaily.com/scottish-fis...

Foolish thinking: More drilling will cut UK energy bills or provide energy security ❌ In fact, it won’t do either. Oil is exported on the global market & the basin is in decline. Renewables are the real solution for the ocean 🌊⚡ Act now: act.oceana.org/page/171529/... #FossilFoolsDay

🌊 Oceana is launching a new office in Ghana 🇬🇭 focused on rebuilding ocean health in the region, following reports that some fish populations have declined by nearly 80% in 20 years. More here 🔽 https://oceanographicmagazine.com/news/80-drop-in-ghanas-fisheries-prompts-oceana-expansion-2/

🚨🐟 +1 MILLION tonnes of fish were snatched by trawlers from UK marine "protected" areas in just four years, showing that our marine parks are currently little more than lines on a map 1/4 🔽 @greenpeaceuk.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/environment/...

🛢️ 100s of North Sea licences from over 14 years have so far produced just over one month of gas, researchers say. The North Sea is in decline, and the idea that new drilling will help cut bills in any meaningful way is a dangerous fantasy 1/2 www.theguardian.com/business/202...

Incredible! Sperm whales help each other give birth, new research shows 🐋 Scientists saw even non-kin whales working together to support a mother & her calf. A powerful reminder: the ocean is full of complex, social beings that deserve our protection 🌊 https://bit.ly/4vdgbNt

⚡️☀️ UK renewable power just hit record levels, with our solar & wind fleet producing 34 gigawatts around midday yesterday! At the same time, gas-fired output dropped to just over a gigawatt 🔽 1/4 eciu.net/media/press-...

Oil prices wouldn't be all over the news today if more of our economy was powered by local, secure renewable energy. This isn't an "energy crisis". It's a fossil fuel crisis. 44% of UK electricity came from renewables in 2025. More of that plus an electrified economy => no more oil shocks.

🚨 The Scottish Govt faces legal action from ocean campaigners after officials were found to have broken their own rules on protecting Scotland’s seas - by failing to properly consider environmental damage when allowing fishing 👩‍⚖️🌊 @ourseas-scot.bsky.social www.heraldscotland.com/news/2595569...

“One overriding lesson of the crisis: while we are dependent on fossil fuel markets, we are price takers not price makers, and we are exposed.” Energy security will only come once we have fairly transitioned to homegrown renewable power ⚡️ www.theguardian.com/environment/...

🌡️ The last 11 years have been confirmed as the hottest on record, with record ocean heat, accelerating sea-level rise & greenhouse gases at their highest in 800,000 yrs 🚨 Earth is sounding the alarm. The time for a clean & renewable future is NOW. oceanographicmagazine.com/news/every-k...

We need to have a real conversation about nature. Nature is fundamental to our wellbeing, our prosperity and our long-term future. When we restore, protect and invest in nature, we can lower everyday bills, create healthier communities and ensure a better quality of life for everyone.
