We’ve arrived at the Green Party Conference 👊 Ready for a busy few days of championing the power of rewilding and co-hosting our fringe event with @nataliegreenpeer.bsky.social and @cprecountryside.bsky.social, and our panel Tir Natur, @oceanauk.bsky.social, @mcsuk.bsky.social and Nattergal. 🧵1/2

We're rewilding party conferences 🌱 First stop, Lib Dems - where we talked rewilding benefits with MPs, co-hosted a Roam, Rewild, Restore event with the Green Lib Dems and @greenpeaceuk.bsky.social  @righttoroam.bsky.social @campaign4parks.bsky.social and ran a beach clean with @mcsuk.bsky.social 🐚

Happy 30th, @arrancoast.bsky.social! 🌊 For three decades, this community-led marine conservation charity has been leading the charge for healthier seas – protecting and restoring Scotland’s marine life, while bringing people together to explore and celebrate Arran’s rich marine heritage. 🧵1/2

🚨 UK Govt will propose bottom trawling bans in English offshore protected areas at #UNOC today! 🌊 Many could be FULL bans over the WHOLE area. 🎉 If implemented, this could protect an area of seabed DOUBLE the size of all England’s national parks combined! 🪸 Stay tuned for updates as they come.

We’re thrilled to see the @commonseac.parliament.uk report featured today on The Guardian, calling for urgent action to protect UK seas. It contains many bold and vital steps that we champion in our Wilder Seas report, launched yesterday in collaboration with @mcsuk.bsky.social. 1/3

Wilder Seas: eight steps to restore our ocean 🌊 Our seas are struggling – and so are the coastal communities that depend on them. But there’s hope. Our new Wilder Seas report, produced with the @mcsuk.bsky.social, lays out a powerful blueprint for restoring marine ecosystems. 🧵1/2

We're pleased to see Welsh Gov finally introduce the Environment (Principles, Governance & Biodiversity Targets) Bill to the Senedd today. Bring on a Nature Positive Wales! business.senedd.wales/mgIssueHisto... Here's our response, below + in more detail here: waleslink.org/wp-content/u...

📢 Amazing job alert! 🌿🐬 🐟 We are looking for a participation lead - to lead engagement for this inspiring community-born, nature-first project of hope, driving ecological restoration along the coastline. Sussex Bay is about nature and people Great role, closes 20 Feb 25:https://lnkd.in/ewxKfjDc

A very interesting and heartening intervention, now we need urgent action to address the barriers to community led rewilding, and whole site protection for our MPAs.

Great to hear Minister Emma Hardy present the UK Government's ambition for our seas at the Ocean and Coastal Futures Conference this morning. It was heartening to see the vital role of MPAs in tackling the biodiversity and climate crises recognised. #CoastalFutures25 (1/3)

Thanks for checking out our 1st post on BlueSky Recovering our seas and marine biodiversity simply means removing the worst activities that impact our seas. That's what we have been doing on the Isle of Arran for 30 years. Taking ACTION to recover our seas one step at a time.

Last Friday, we took our Rewilding Manifesto to Dorset's Studland Bay to explore with MP Neil Duncan-Jordan how he can support rewilding in the area. 🐬Here's a quick reminder of our top 10 marine asks: www.rewildingbritain.org.uk/blog/10-esse...

🚨🚨 BREAKING: Only 44% of key habitats & species within UK marine protected areas are in favourable condition. 😠 Time to get a move on & properly protect our ocean havens. We can start by kicking #BigOil & destructive bottom trawlers out of protected waters. 🚫

We stopped deep sea mining in the Arctic (for now at least)! Celebrate those victories when we get them. www.greenpeace.org/sweden/press...

La pollution plastique est un désastre écologique et sanitaire. L'échec du traité mondial contraignant concernant la pollution plastique est une trahison envers les générations futures. Il faut s’affranchir des lobbies pétroliers et agir urgemment.

🌏 @pippaheylings.bsky.social: “I had the honour of presenting the Climate and Nature Bill at #COP29. If passed, the #CANBill will enshrine in law a duty for the UK to have a joined-up strategy for achieving our climate and nature targets.”

Some positive #rewilding news! After the success of the South of Scotland Golden Eagle project, where birds have been translocated from the Highlands to the Borders, the next phase is set to reintroduce them to England & Wales. Reintroductions done right. 🙌 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Puffins, Kittiwakes, Razorbills—the UK’s decision to end sandeel fishing was a hard-won lifeline for our struggling seabirds. The EU’s move to challenge it risks undoing that progress. 🚨 We urge the Commission to support, not undermine, this key step for marine biodiversity.
