❌ Promise made. Promise broken? The UK Environment Secretary, Steve Reed, VOWED to end bottom trawling. A year on, and we are STILL waiting. 3/4 🔽

🚨 BREAKING: 20,000+ HOURS of suspected bottom trawling WRECKED the UK’s offshore marine “protected” areas last year, our research shows! 🌊 That would score tracks on the seabed that would stretch EIGHT TIMES around the UK. All with the government's permission! 1/4 🔽 www.express.co.uk/news/politic...

UK's marine protected areas face over 20,000 hours of bottom trawling

amazing that David Attenborough has put out a film about the world's seas on his 99th birthday, including footage from Scotland's beautiful inshore, all very much worthy of @emmaroddicksnp.bsky.social's motion to Parliament and comment from @bluemarinef.bsky.social news.stv.tv/scotland/sir...

Sir David Attenborough praised for 'influence' on his 99th birthday

SNP MSP Emma Roddick put forward a motion in the Scottish Parliament praising him for 'his tireless service to humanity and nature over seven decades'.

🐧 GREAT OCEAN NEWS 🐧 The SA government has finally declared no-take zones around key African Penguin breeding colonies. My friends at SANCCOB have worked tirelessly for many years to make this happen, and they deserve to be widely praised for this hard-fought victory. 1/2

🚨The great UK fishing scandal continues as 54% of catch limits are set above scientific advice for 2025, further jeopardising our dwindling fish populations and struggling small-scale fishing fleets. The Labour government must and can turn this around for people & the planet. Share if you agree✊

BREAKING NEWS 🚨 SANCCOB, BirdLife SA, the fishing industry and the South African government agree to new no-take zones to commercial fishers around penguin breeding colonies. 🐧 Thank you for supporting this campaign to #SaveAfricanPenguins. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Hope for endangered penguins as no-fishing zones agreed off South Africa
