📢 Today marks the EU #EndOfFishDay, the day when Europe has exhausted its domestic seafood for 2026 & start depending on imports. We must align seafood consumption with what the ocean can provide. seas-at-risk.org/press-releas... #EUFisheries #EndOverfishing #RethinkFisheries #PressRelease

Without the Habitats Directive, marine mammals, countless species, and #Natura2000 habitats are left defenseless. We have to protect the laws that protect #OurOcean! Tell the EU now: #HandsOffNature and ✍️sign here handsoffnature.eu #EUFisheries #MPAs #EUBiodiversity

🚨 Landmark ruling for Europe’s oceans A Dutch court has ruled that destructive #BottomTrawling can no longer take place in the Dutch #DoggerBank #MPA without proper permits & envi assessments. This is a major breakthrough for marine protection in Europe! oceanographicmagazine.com/news/dutch-c...

Happy #DeepDay! 🎉 Today we join organisations worldwide in celebrating the #DeepSea, our planet’s vital blue heart! 🩵 The deep sea is threatened by #DeepSeaMining! Let’s make sure the deep sea is saved for us, our planet and future generations!

The deep sea sustains life on Earth, and we're on the brink of damaging it forever. This #DeepDay, people from around the world are united to #DefendTheDeep 📽️ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nKwYoMdHwak

📢New study reveals that #BottomTrawling catches ~3000 species, incl threatened ones.🐡Yet it continues in #MPAs. This must end. #MPAs are meant to safeguard marine species, #BottomTrawling does the exact opposite. #ProtectedMeansProtected news.mongabay.com/short-articl... #EUFisheries #EUBiodiversity

Study finds bottom trawling nets 3,000 marine fish species, including threatened ones

How many marine fish species do bottom trawls catch? Researchers now have a list, and it’s long, running to some 3,000 species, according to a recent study. Bottom trawling is a commercially popular, ...

The EC's evaluation on #CFP is out! 1⃣law is sound 2⃣Implementation is failing What we need is implementation! The Vision for fair, low-impact fisheries helps to embrace long-term sustainability.

EC report on #MSPD shows #EUOceanGovernance remains fragmented 🌊 The #EUOceanAct is a critical opportunity to fix this, but only if it goes beyond a simple revision of the Directive 👉 seas-at-risk.org/press-releas... #EUOceanAct #OceanGovernance #EUBlueEconomy

Today @europarl.europa.eu voted for the EU to defend a #moratorium on #DeepSeaMining + to take action against any unlawful US-led deep-sea mining. The vote is a clear signal to the EU to step-up its game to defend the rules and the #DeepSea. Read more here🔗 seas-at-risk.org/general-news...

European Parliament backs EU action against unlawful US deep-sea mining plans - Seas At Risk

The European Parliament today adopted, with a strong majority, a resolution on international ocean diplomacy that presses for the European Union (EU) and its 27 Member States to respond to unlawful de...

Why are European taxpayers paying €1.17B in subsidies for a practice that costs society €16B in damages? 📉 #BottomTrawling is profitable only through public money. We must stop funding the destruction of our own seas. #TaxpayerMoney #MFF #EUBlueEconomy news.nationalgeographic.org/new-peer-rev...

New Peer-Reviewed Study: Bottom Trawling in Europe’s Waters Costs Society up to €16 Billion Annually — Mostly Due to Climate Impacts

The destructive fishing practice takes place in more than half of Europe’s marine protected areas (MPAs); reducing bottom trawling inside and outside of Europe’s MPAs could unlock benefits to taxpayer...

Catching unwanted fish & dumping them back into the sea weaken the whole ecosystem. We call on #AGRIFISH Ministers & Commissioner Kadis to prevent this by fully implementing the #CFP with ecosystem-based approach & selective fishing. #RethinkFisheries #EUFisheries seas-at-risk.org/publications...

Poor implementation of the #CFP continues to harm low-impact fishers. Quotas are required to be allocated using envi & social criteria. Yet large vessels still take the biggest share. It's time Member States fully implement the #CFP! #RethinkFisheries #EUFisheries 🌊 seas-at-risk.org/publications...

Our new wind study shows that: ⛵ 6.3–9.4% fuel savings 🌍 Up to 762 million tonnes of CO₂e saved by 2050 - ~ the same as removing 170m cars from the road for a year 🚢 Top 5k ships (bulk carriers & tankers) could unlock 50% of the saving Shall we let that sink in? seas-at-risk.org/publications...

Today, NGOs delivered a symbolic Pandora’s Box to Commissioner Costas Kadis. A visual reminder that reopening the #CFP could create regulatory chaos and undermine years of progress for Europe’s fisheries and coastal communities. #RethinkFisheries #EUbiodiversity With @oceanaeurope.bsky.social

💰 #DeepSeaMining is a high-risk gamble. ⚠️ Never proven at commercial scale 📉 Price drops could erase profits 🏦 ~80 financial institutions have raised concerns As the ISA Council starts today, the message is clear. 🔗 seas-at-risk.org/wp-content/u... #DefendTheDeep #KeepItInTheSeabed

⚖️The global system to regulate #DeepSeaMining isn’t ready. Key rules under the International Seabed Authority are still unresolved - and science can’t yet define “acceptable harm” in the deep sea. ❌That’s why momentum is growing globally for a moratorium. seas-at-risk.org/wp-content/u...

While the European Commission discusses its #Vision2040 for Fisheries &Aquaculture during #EUOceanDays, we urge policy makers to take inspiration from the vision for fair, low-impact fisheries & stakeholders to endorse it! Find out more: 👉 rethinkfisheries.eu #RethinkFisheries

🌍 #DeepSeaMining risks more geopolitical tension, rather than boost mineral security. ⚠️ No proven supply chain 🌐 Relies on existing players 📉 Too speculative to reshape supply Real resilience = less demand + more recycling ♻️ 🔗 seas-at-risk.org/wp-content/u... @deepseaconserve.bsky.social
