🎣Las capturas incidentales no son un problema menor: son una amenaza diaria para la biodiversidad marina y una prueba de credibilidad para la política ambiental de la UE. Las soluciones existen. Ahora necesitamos voluntad política. ¡Gracias @seasatrisk.bsky.social , Birdlife y EIA por este evento!

Le premier point de bascule de la planète aurait été atteint avec le « dépérissement généralisé » des coraux. La Terre serait par ailleurs au bord d’autres seuils de rupture avec des risques dévastateurs, mettent en garde 160 scientifiques dans un vaste rapport www.lemonde.fr/planete/arti...

While you're on holiday, the EU is dismantling environmental protections 🏖️➡️💔 #HandsOffNature You have until 10 September to tell the Commission what you think. Your voice matters: handsoffnature.eu?utm=.share.b...

The bourgeois reactionaries are unleashed. And it's only the beginning... www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Outrageous

Amazing how an ecosystem approach to seafood and other products can have positive multiplying effects. An example of kelp (algae) and mussels. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Les superchalutiers, des bateaux mesurant entre 80 et 150m trainant des filets de 200m, posent un vrai problème, à la fois pour l´environnement et pour les pêcheurs artisans. www.youtube.com/watch?v=FXaJ...

As the UN Ocean Conference is starting, a clear and powerful call by scientists to protect the High Seas from all type of extractions. Yes, including fisheries as most of targeted species can be caught closer to the shore and with low-impact gears and practices. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Today's final #OceanPact contains: ✅ The good (no to #DeepSeaMining) ❌ The bad (weak commitment on funding) 💩 And the ugly (no action to #BanBottomTrawling in MPAs) The #OceanAct is promising & could pave the way for a healthy ocean, but *only* if it's bold & binding. #UNOC3

We are tired of hearing the same old Cormorant-diss track😡 Today, at the Conference on 𝘔𝘢𝘯𝘢𝘨𝘦𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘢𝘥𝘷𝘪𝘤𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘳𝘦𝘥𝘶𝘤𝘦 𝘊𝘰𝘳𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘵 𝘱𝘳𝘦𝘥𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘪𝘮𝘱𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘴, we heard the same blame-game song lines we have been hearing since the 70ies. #Cormorants were blamed for fish stock decline instead of the real culprits

Europe's ocean is at risk - and so is our way of life. A vibrant call from artisanal fishers struggling against the depletion of fish population and deterioration of marine ecosystem due to industrial fishing. It's high time to #RethinkFisheries protectourcatch.org/pages/fisher...

📢 New resource alert – the CIBBRiNA version of the Clean Catch Wildlife ID Guide! 🐬 🦭 🦈 The identification by #fishers of the species they accidentally capture at sea is an important part of efforts to improve #bycatch monitoring & inform #sustainable #fisheries management. [1/5]

How the 5 biggest Dutch fishing companies dominate the European sector and destroy marine environment, coastal and artisanal fishers across the globe ⬇️ Time to #RethinkFisheries www.euronews.com/green/2025/0...

Great story co authored by our member! @ingridgercama.bsky.social ⬇️

In EU, authorities prefer to tell you where to cheat instead of enforcing the law. A first list of harbours in Latvia and Denmark was adopted allowing overfishing (so-called margin of tolerance). #LMAO - Landing Margin Allowing Overfishing #RethinkFisheries thefishingdaily.com/eu-fishing-i...

End of fish day for the EU is today. Domestic seafood production in the EU has theoretically exhausted for the year and from now until the end of 2025 will rely on imported fish and other seafood products from around the world. seas-at-risk.org/press-releas...

📢Today representatives of small-scale fishers, scientists, citizens & civil society handed in a petition to Costas Kadis - EU Commissioner for the Ocean - signed by +250K European citizens calling to #EndBottomTrawling in #MPAs. 🐠 #ProtectedMeansProtected 👉 seas-at-risk.org/press-releas...

How is bottom-trawling to capture fish ? Look ⬇️ See how "gently" the net touches our marine seafloor. Extract from new documentary: Ocean With David Attenborough. youtu.be/IzG9AwlypaY?...

The Ocean is our strongest ally in coping with the climate crisis. But we continue to hurt it, day by day. It’s time we protect our wounded planet and let it recover to become resilient and healthy again – because our planet is blue. Sign the OceanCare petition now: action.wemove.eu/petition/202...

Another example of why the Common Fisheries Policy is sound in principle but poorly respected in practice. The FR administration is closely aligned with the fishing industry, altering decrees post-adoption and distributing public subsidies in opacity. bloomassociation.org/scandale-des...

📢New report shows that the current EU fisheries policy favours large-scale industry to the detriment of small-scale & low-impact fisheries. 🎣🐟 We call on Commissioner Costas Kadis to take action to fully enforce EU law! #OceansPact #RethinkFisheries #Pressrelease 👉 seas-at-risk.org/press-releas...

How surprising to see Europêche being one of the worst seafood industry association lobbying against biodiversity protection 🙃

Tensions rising in Denmark with the industrial fleets trying to discredit low-impact coastal fishers. How surprising... Time to #RethinkFisheries thefishingdaily.com/danish-fishi...

Will conspiracy theorists be helping stopping geoengineering? Lulz edition.cnn.com/2025/03/25/c...

We often hear well-dressed fishing industry lobbyists, adorned in fine suits and cufflinks, condemning Chinese fleets for illegal fishing and disregarding regulations. Yet, unsurprisingly, this narrative falls apart under scrutiny. www.ftm.eu/articles/eu-...

Fishing and Defense in the same pot on the menu for EU-UK negotiations in May. Not sure this will really help restoring ocean health and preventing overfishing... www.deepseareporter.com/fishing-disp...

A jury found Greenpeace International and two Greenpeace entities in the US liable for over US$ 660 million combined in Energy Transfer’s meritless SLAPP lawsuit. But green NGOs must keep having a voice #WeWillNotBeSilenced Find out more: www.greenpeace.org/internationa...

📢 With only 12% of EU seas designated as protected & destructive fishing still rampant in the so called "protected areas", EU seas are at risk. It's time for the EU to expand #MPAs & ensure they are truly protected.🐳 #ProtectedMeansProtected #OceansPact seas-at-risk.org/press-releas...

📢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...

New legal action! @bloomassociation.bsky.social and @foodwatchfr.bsky.social take @carrefour.bsky.social to court for selling poisoned tuna caught by abusive and destructive fishing fleets 👏👏👏 www.bloomassociation.org/en/tuna-bloo...

EU countries continue to defy rules on protecting marine habitats🪸🐙 Now scientists, fishers & civil society ask Commissioner Costas Kadis to use the EU #OceansPact to put a stop to destructive fisheries in Marine Protected Areas. 👀Read more: seas-at-risk.org/press-releas... #ProtectedMeansProtected

If bottom trawling was happening on land it would never be allowed news.sky.com/story/thousa...

Surimi business is getting out of hand... thefishingdaily.com/irish-fishin...

Make no mistake: the anti-woke culture warriors are absolutely ready to ally with Putin if this increases their chance to win. Like Murdoch & Fox News who facilitated Russian influence in the US, we must begin to view Döpfner & his media outlets as the personified fifth column in European politics.

Sweden has just extended its fishing trawl ban from 3 to 12 nautical miles. It is GREAT ! But this ban should be permanent and trawlers should be reduced to prevent them emptying the Baltic Sea of other species. Great short piece explaining all ⤵️ www.deepseareporter.com/marine-ecolo...

Fishing area closed in North Sea after a delinquent Dutch trawler was caught catching too many juveniles. It is incredible that we cannot know the name of that boat and that this boat is not fined and banned from fishing. Instead it will continue elsewhere... thefishingdaily.com/european-fis...

📢Marine NGOs sent a letter to the German BALTFISH presidency to demand urgent action prevent the extinction of the Baltic #HarbourPorpoise population. Have a look at the letter! 👉 seas-at-risk.org/general-news... #EUBiodiversity #ProtectedMeansProtected #RethinkFisheries #MPAs Photo: Sean McCann

Monica Verbeek from @seasatrisk.bsky.social and Pascale Moehrle from @oceanaeurope.bsky.social react to the Fisher of the Future study by the EU Commission. Spoiler: the study has several blind spots, one of them is OVERFISHING 🤦‍♂️ #RethinkFisheries www.euronews.com/2025/01/25/t...

Positive news coming from Sweden 🍾 Let's celebrate (hopefully) soon once the real plan to ban bottom-trawling from Swedish marine protected areas is nailed 😉

Scandalous! So much EU public money going to industrial fishers, including public authorities promoting declining seafood, instead of helping those who care about resources and social well-being.... www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Fun fact: Lobsters pee out of their face and they pee on each other to communicate 🙃 A bit like Trump #GoldenShower www.thesmilingseahorse.com/blog/30-fun-...

NEW PUBLICATION assessed 217 global MPAs. MPAs with shared governance arrangements between governments and non-government actors are 98% more likely to have higher fish biomass than MPAs solely governed by state agencies. 🧪🌏🦑 #MPA #marinepolicy #fisheries journals.plos.org/plosone/arti...

#PFAS producers are using a range of tactics to resist the proposed EU PFAS regulation. The evidence of the devastating effects of PFAS is before us, and we cannot afford to clean it up. 🚰We need to turn off the PFAS tap! youtu.be/ZN5NrGUDNaE 🧵Here’s a “who’s who” of PFAS’ top lobby players👇

€597 638 for a new EU project to collect data on eel & salmon populations. You know what? We already know they're in danger due to overfishing for dog/pig food & due to farming spreading disease & genetic degradation. cinea.ec.europa.eu/featured-pro...

Good news 🍾 There are positive signs of marine animals recovery in the North Sea because of small reduction in overfishing, increased control and other conservation measures. Let's celebrate and continue restoring healthy marine environment ! www.theguardian.com/environment/...
