⚖️🌊 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

Sweden will ban bottom trawling in marine protected areas from July 2026! 🌊💪 A major win for ocean health. While NL still allows it, Sweden shows true leadership. This gives us strength in our case against the Dutch government for a bottom trawling ban in our MPAs. Time for NL & Germany to follow!

🌊 8,000 years ago, Doggerland connected Britain to Europe, a wild, prehistoric world lost to the sea. Today, its remnants lie beneath the North Sea. Once overfished, now a focus of hope and ecological restoration. Dive into its epic story 👉https://doggerland.earth/tijdlijn/

The North Sea is turning into an industrial zone: energy, fishing, shipping. Nature’s being squeezed out. TNO calls for urgent action. We need one plan, not scattered “towel claims” on the sea. We’re on a collision course with the heart of our natural heritage. It’s time we act before it’s too late.

🚨 80% of the wildlife caught in trawler nets is discarded, dead or dying! The devastating impacts of #BottomTrawling bycatch are laid bare in a new film by @bluemarinef.bsky.social, with Theo James & Stephen Fry. On #WorldOceanDay, help us end this NOW: act.for-the-ocean.org/act/protect-...

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...

📰NEWS: Oceana welcomes EU ratification of the #HighSeasTreaty as a key step to reach the #30x30 goal. The announcement takes place a few days ahead of the release of the #EUOceanPact and the beginning of the UN Ocean Conference. #UNOC3 europe.oceana.org/press-releas...

Beneficial ownership refers to the individual or company that ultimately benefits from a fishing vessel, often hidden behind complex corporate structures. Strengthening transparency is key to stopping #IllegalFishing. This must be included in the #EUOceanPact! #EndCorruptionAtSea

EU court upholds ban on bottom trawling in North Sea protected areas like the Dogger Bank 🌊⚖️German fishers lost their case to overturn the ban. The ruling confirms conservation laws are legally binding and based on science. Big boost for marine protection and the fight to restore the North Sea. 💪🐟

The #NorthSea is one of the busiest in the world — but under the surface, nature is struggling. Decades of trawling have left the seabed bare and wildlife in decline. We’re working to bring it back to life — and you can help! Support us with our exclusive #Doggerland calendar 🐟 shorturl.at/ilN4i

If we save the sea, we save our world. Tomorrow, on his 99th birthday, Sir David Attenborough releases Ocean, a film about the critical state of our oceans. But there’s hope. Nature can recover if we give it space. This is what we stand for on the Dogger Bank, and what Ocean shows on a global scale.

Our founder and director @oceanreuchlin.bsky.social stars in this podcast 'Future for Nature' (in Dutch). She holds that the North Sea has changed into an industrial wasteland and elaborates on her ambitious vision for rewilding North Sea nature 🐳🐙

Can Sophie Hermans, the Dutch minister for Climate and Green Growth, please change her title? Increasing gas extraction in the North Sea just doesn't match with it anymore. We are suggesting Minister for Climate Change and Green Washing. Better ideas anyone? #northsea #rewilding #keepitintheground

New report by @icesmarine.bsky.social warns for lack of understanding and methods to assess the negative cumulative effects of offshore wind parks on North Sea nature.

Did you know that EU taxpayers are funding this ocean destruction?💸 Bottom trawling in marine protected areas (MPAs) costs society up to €11B a year - yet it’s still subsidised. Join us to ask Commissioner Kadis to #BanBottomTrawling in MPAs! 👉 act.for-the-ocean.org/act/protect-...

Researchers find evidence of rapidly rising sea levels at Dogger Bank 🌊 Thanks to a unique dataset obtained from plant seeds in peat layers, researchers have been able to demonstrate how rapidly Doggerland was submerged around 12,000 years ago. Read more in Nature 👉 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

📢New analysis No EU country has comprehensive plans to phase out #BottomTrawling from #MPAs by 2030. This is in spite of EU nature laws & international biodiversity commitments that bind Member States to protect their #MPAs. 🐟 #OceansPact #ProtectedMeansProtected seas-at-risk.org/press-releas...

These shocking videos shine a light on the horrific reality of bottom-trawl fishing. Dead or dying marine life, carpeting the seafloor in their thousands. How is this STILL allowed in marine protected areas?

Zo'n post die je liever niet wilt liken... Stop #Dewilding, dat is echt nog beter dan #Rewilding

A shocking new @greenpeaceuk.bsky.social investigation reveals that between 2020 and 2025, industrial supertrawlers spent nearly 37,000 hours fishing in 44 so-called “protected” UK MPAs. This needs to stop! We should hold governments accountable for enforcing their own laws on nature restoration
