The EU imports 70% of its seafood and has a significant international fleet — what happens outside EU waters matters for ocean protection. This is Oceana’s position on the EU External Fisheries Policy: ➡️ europe.oceana.org/wp-content/u... #CommonFisheriesPolicy

Climate change & illegal fishing threaten the ocean & food security. At PECH Committee today, our campaign director @vanyalovesfish.bsky.social stressed that the EU should: ✅Promote sustainable fisheries ✅Trace all seafood, incl. processed ✅Improve consumer information ✅Make fisheries transparent

The Mediterranean is the place to prove #EUOceanPact’s power, says Maria Damanaki. Costas Kadis can help rebuild fish stocks & push GFCM to enforce monitoring & surveillance. There is no room for #IllegalFishing in the Med. 🔗 bit.ly/4kUQFq4 #EndCorruptionAtSea

“Some EU-owned vessels use shell companies, change flags & fish in countries with weak oversight. Not controlling these activities undermines the EU’s zero tolerance policy against illegal fishing” states our Illegal Fishing campaign director @vanyalovesfish.bsky.social . #UNOC3 #UNOC #UNOC2025

Fishers of Seychelles, Ivory Coast and Guinea-Bissau have a clear message for the EU to improve the position of women - there is a need for better access to resources and infrastructure to sell or process fish and to better include them in the management decisions @cffacape.bsky.social

EU Oceans Pact — time for commission to be enforcer, not just architect

Transparency is an essential foundation of effective fisheries management. So why haven’t most IUU Action Alliance members yet shared basic up-to-date vessel data? Ahead of #UNOC3, Oceana calls for real actionnot just words. #OceanGovernance #IUUFishing 🔗 www.iuuwatch.eu/2025/05/new-...

Europeans love tuna, but in the Indian Ocean, where European ships haul in tons, some stocks are overfished. Coastal nations are sounding the alarm, pushing for fairer fishing rules. But they’re hitting a wall in Brussels, where economic interests come first, even far beyond its own waters.

We need transparency on EU owned vessels fishing outside its waters. This includes those catching tuna in the Indian Ocean, in countries that do not control enough their fleet. “Fighting illegal fishing requires the EU to act against those who benefit from it” says @vanyalovesfish.bsky.social ⬇️
