George Monbiot@georgemonbiot.bsky.social · last yr.The plunder of our seas by industrial fishing is a monstrosity in which almost everyone unwittingly collaborates. For decades this truth has been deliberately hidden from us. Now at last the consensus is cracking. This week's column. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

It was HUGE. Yet tiny in comparison to a real trawling net. We deployed it at #UNOC3 #BlueMarch. Then the police came and wanted to take it. We sit on it. They left. #PowerToThePeople #ProtectTheOceanProtectLife
Extinction Rebellion Global@xrglobal.bsky.social · last yr.IMAGINE asks #OceanRebellion how much damage a net as big as ten jumbo jets causes as it drags across the seabed. It catches everything in its path, destroys marine life, releasing the ‘blue’ carbon stored there. Bottom trawling emits more greenhouse gases than aviation 1/4 youtu.be/zddTB9PzmsA?...

Time to stop eating fish until the end of the year. We consume way more seafood than the seas can actually provide us with & continue #overfishing. Let’s give the ocean a break!
Seas At Risk@seasatrisk.bsky.social · last yr.⚠️ Today is #EndOfFishDay in the EU🐟 As of today, the EU has theoretically exhausted its domestic seafood production for the year & from now until the end of 2025 will rely on imported fish & other seafood products. #RethinkFisheries Read our #PressRelease 👉 seas-at-risk.org/press-releas...

Over the past days I read many claims on the end of #globalisation, and on the #tariffs war being a chance for progressive agendas I wonder what's the political economy backing up these claims. Sounds as if global #capitalism couldn't accommodate even high #tariffs. 🧶 1/10
As everyone talks about trade and tariffs: can we seize the opportunity to leave both neo-feudalist protectionism and globalised capitalism behind and embrace “open re-localisation”? Great text by @vincent-liegey.bsky.social et. al. (2016!) www.projet-decroissance.net?p=2125

“Competitiveness is part of the problem & not the solution. The growth paradigm has proven to be failure. We need to move to a regenerative wellbeing blue economy that serves both ocean & people.” Monica Verbeek from @seasatrisk.bsky.social gets to the core of the problem at EC's #OceanPact dialogue
"Unsustainable fishing practices [..] like trawling [..] deplete fish stocks and destroy habitats." Good to hear that this has landed with Charlina Vitcheva, director general at DG MARE. Let's implement the #MarineActionPlan and ban bottom trawling in MPAs!
Vera Coelho@verampcoelho.bsky.social · last yr.DG @CharlinaVitcheva opens the Fisheries & Ocean dialogue by highlighting the importance of the #ocean for the EU and its citizens, as well as the negative impacts we have on it. Question for today: how will the #OceanPact tackle these pressures in a coherent way? #BlueManifesto
I really appreciated @humbertodrosa.bsky.social's description of sustainability - not as a three-pillar concept, but as a layered concept (similar to a wedding cake 🍰). It reminded me of this graph, which I always found a much more helpful depiction of sustainability than the three-legged stool...
