Scaling up nature recovery in Europe: 8 new large-scale restoration projects receive funding from the ELSP 🥳 From forests and peatlands to rivers, wetlands and deltas: large-scale rewilding is essential to tackle the climate and biodiversity crises threatening ecosystems, and ourselves! #rewilding

In 1976 Zoologists around the world were stunned to learn of the discovery of a new shark - the Megamouth. It resembles many other sharks except its mouth is huge, which is how it got its name. It feeds on plankton, jellyfish, and krill instead of meat like typical sharks...

Nature is not for sale. The EU is reviewing key nature laws under the guise of “simplification”, risking weaker protection. Strong laws are vital for places like the Dogger Bank and the North Sea. Speak up, defend nature, sign the petition. 🌍✊ handsoffnature.eu/

We zijn er stil van... olie- en gasproducenten, oké. Maar de overheid die in beroep gaat om haar eigen regels niet uit te hoeven voeren? @doggerland-fdn.bsky.social

Today, we stood in court to save the reefs of the Borkum Stones. Our call was clear: give the unique area Borkum Stones in the North Sea the protection it urgently needs, so nature can recover 🪸🐙 read more on www.doggerland.earth #rewilding #natura2000

The annual Species to Watch spotlights the European eel. Once widespread across Europe’s waters, this remarkable species has suffered one of the most dramatic declines of any fish. Overfishing, migration barriers, pollution and illegal trade have pushed the eel to the brink of extinction. #30x30

🐳 𝗖𝗢𝗨𝗥𝗧 𝗖𝗔𝗦𝗘 𝗪𝗢𝗡! Judge rules that harmful activities in Marine Protected Areas must stop. "This is fantastic news for the North Sea. With this ruling, protection of the three largest Dutch Marine Protected Areas is immediately strengthened." Read more 👉 www.doggerland.earth #protectedmeansprotected

🐟 Europe can’t afford to keep wasting fish at sea. Highgrading is illegal, harmful to ecosystems, and unfair to honest fishers, yet it often goes unseen. This waste puts huge pressure on marine ecosystems and with almost no risk of getting caught, the practice continues.🌊 @ejfoundation.org

Rewilding Dogger Bank joins the European Rewilding Network. This is a pan-European community of rewilding initiatives who are helping to accelerate and upscale rewilding together. We can learn from fellow rewilders and be inspired by their work. In return, we will share our knowledge and expertise

🌊 The ocean is our silent climate hero, absorbing 30% of our CO₂ and 90% of recent warming. Seagrass stores 35× more carbon than rainforests, mangroves are carbon powerhouses, and seabeds hold vast reserves if left undisturbed. Ocean action NOW 🌍 Support our mission 👉 www.doggerland.earth

😱 Dutch fisheries lobby still denies the destructive impact of bottom trawling on marine life! DON'T FALL FOR IT! Support our legal case to fully close the Dogger Bank to bottom trawling 👉 www.doggerland.earth

🌊 “Nature isn’t a stakeholder — it’s the foundation of life.” 💙 Emilie Reuchlin spoke at Jouw Noordzee Partner Day on protecting the North Sea’s future, calling for true ocean protection, long-term vision & bans on harmful activities. #northsea #doggerbank #rewilding

In Sweden’s Kosterhavet National Park, AI helped scientists analyse 4.4M seabed images. Since trawling was banned 25 years ago, marine life has rebounded, but warming seas are driving some species to deeper waters. 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝘄𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗯𝗮𝗻𝘀 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸! Read more 👉 phys.org/news/2025-10...

Congratulations to our co-founder and director Emilie Reuchlin for being the 2025 Bright Award Winner for Environmental Sustainability 🏆 You inspire sea conservationists across the globe 🐳 @oceanreuchlin.bsky.social @law.stanford.edu youtube.com/watch?v=dyir...

Tomorrow, Emilie Reuchlin will receive the Bright Award for Environmental Sustainability from the Stanford Law School 🏆 “Emilie exemplifies the kind of bold, wide-ranging thinking the Bright Award was created to honor,” said George Triantis, Professor of Law and Dean of Stanford Law School.

⚖️🌊 Together with ARK Rewilding NL, we faced the Dutch government in court over weak management plans for Dogger Bank, Cleaver Bank & Frisian Front. These fail to protect nature as required by law. A ruling is due in 6–12 weeks. We’re hopeful for a win for North Sea life! 👉 shorturl.at/vTYhe

More than 80% of people support the 30x30 biodiversity goal: protecting 30% of land and sea by 2030 🙌 But less than 1% of the North Sea is truly protected from harmful activities. There is no more time to lose. We call upon the Dutch government to start taking immediate action! #northsea #doggerbank

Over 2500 participants 👯‍♀️🕺🤾🧜‍♀️ joined the #BlueMarch in Nice for #UNOC3! Citizens and civil society are calling on politicians to truly protect #MarineProtectedAreas and take more concrete actions for our ocean! 🌊 #ProtectedMeansProtected #MPAs #UNOC3

Happy #WorldOceanDay 🐳 Tomorrow marks the start of the UN Ocean Conference in Nice, a critical moment to agree on a global plan to restore our oceans. The truth is simple: if we take good care of the sea, the sea takes good care of us. Protecting the ocean’s vital nurseries is in everyone’s interest

We're calling up all governments at the United Nations Oceans Conference #UNOC next week to end bottom trawling in Marine Protected Areas 🌊 As Sir David Attenborough put it in his latest movie Ocean: 𝑰𝒕'𝒔 𝒉𝒂𝒓𝒅 𝒕𝒐 𝒊𝒎𝒂𝒈𝒊𝒏𝒆 𝒂 𝒎𝒐𝒓𝒆 𝒘𝒂𝒔𝒕𝒆𝒇𝒖𝒍 𝒘𝒂𝒚 𝒕𝒐 𝒄𝒂𝒕𝒄𝒉 𝒇𝒊𝒔𝒉 Read more at www.doggerland.earth

BREAKING 📢 The Government's own MPs and many others across parties call for a BAN on destructive bottom-trawl fishing in offshore marine protected areas🪸 This intervention from the Environmental Audit Committee shows that pressure is building 💥💥💥 www.theguardian.com/environment/...

📢Marine NGOs filed a legal complaint against the @ec.europa.eu. Destructive fishing practices in #MPAs, like #BottomTrawling, violate nature laws & endanger the ocean. NGOs urge the EC to take infringement action. #ProtectedMeansProtected #UNOC3 👉 seas-at-risk.org/press-releas...

Door de val van Het Kabinet dreigen oplossingen voor natuur- en klimaatproblemen nog meer vertraging op te lopen. Het is cruciaal dat er iemand opkomt voor de natuur, biodiversiteit en een gezonde leefomgeving! Des te meer dan ooit is de Tweede Kamer aan zet om nu door te pakken 🙏

As #UNOC3 prepares to kick off, the EU faces a new legal challenge over #BottomTrawling in #MarineProtectedAreas. Lawyers say this destructive practice goes against EU nature law and puts the ocean — and people — at grave risk. #ProtectedMeansProtected ➡️ europe.oceana.org/press-releas...
