It’s completely incomprehensible that one of the most destructive ways of fishing is permitted in Marine Protected Areas. What exactly are these areas protected from? Please contact @SteveReedMP to urge action on this crucial issue to protect & restore our seas. @OceanaUK

💪 We've joined forces with other NGOs to send an open letter to UK Govt with a simple demand: END OVERFISHING 🎣 Why? Because 1 in 4 UK fish populations are overfished. It's time to take a stand for our seas. ✉️ Send your own letter here: act.oceana.org/page/178303/da…

“Fishing is on the edge of the abyss.” ⚓🐟 Clive has spent his life at sea - and he’s sounding the alarm Overfishing is emptying UK waters, putting fish and fishing livelihoods at risk. Tell the PM: end overfishing now. act.oceana.org/page/178303/da… 🌊

🚨 “Stocks of iconic fish like mackerel & cod are in free fall” Govt is allowing the largest industrial vessels to squeeze out small local boats, & drive fish populations to the brink. Our campaigner, Izzy, spoke to Wicked Leeks about what this means 👇 wickedleeks.riverford.co.uk/news/mackerel-…

This really should be compulsory viewing for our Govt. Every time renationalisation is raised, they quite erroneous figures about the cost.

🚨 BREAKING: 58% of fishing catch limits for 2026 have been set ABOVE scientific advice. That means industrial ships have just been given a free pass to take too much from our seas, yet again - as confirmed by the government's own fisheries advisors, @CefasGovUK, today.

The lights are coming on for the highest signing constituencies. Have you signed for a referendum to decide who should own our water yet? Live map on the link. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/7626…

🐟 Without healthy fish, UK seas can’t survive. Ocean advocate and vet, Cal Major, is backing @oceanauk, join her and demand the PM ends overfishing now 💙 act.oceana.org/page/178303/da…

Woop woop! @Feargal_Sharkey totally nails it on Channel 4 News just now 🔥🔥🔥 Calling for a REFERENDUM so the public can decide whether to bring water into public ownership Alongside @WindrushWasp + local sewage groups SIGN THE PETITION if you agree 👇 petition.parliament.uk/petitions/7626…

🚨 Half the UK’s top 10 fish stocks are being overexploited, new research shows. Overfishing is emptying our seas of life, and it's a political choice. So I’m joining @OceanaUK in calling on the Prime Minister to end overfishing in UK waters. Join us! 📩 act.oceana.org/page/178303/da…

🪝Overfishing is decimating our seas and we need to act now to save them. Since Hollywood won’t help us spread the word, it looks like we’ll need the PM to do his job instead. Sign our petition to get the government to stop overfishing in UK waters! 🐟act.oceana.org/page/178303/da…

The bottom trawling ban off Sussex is working! 🌊 5 years on, kelp is recovering, mussel beds stretch over 1km, and black sea bream are returning 🐟🌿🦪 Proof that when we remove destructive fishing, the ocean can bounce back 💙 bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

“One overriding lesson of the crisis: while we are dependent on fossil fuel markets, we are price takers not price makers, and we are exposed.” @Ed_Miliband Energy security will only come once we have fairly transitioned to homegrown renewable power ⚡️ theguardian.com/environment/20…

STUNNING: The biodiversity of the North Sea 🐠🪼🦀 Oceana set out to explore the North Sea during an expedition in 2017. We documented key ocean habitats and wildlife, visited biodiversity hotspots & areas with threatened species to help fill critical knowledge gaps 🌊

Since privatisation water companies have taken more than £85billion in dividend and piled up more than £60billion of debt. Yet all capital and operational costs are covered by bill payers. So why keep a privatised structure for a natural monopoly like water?

Oil spills aren’t rare. They’re routine. 🚨 Tonnes of oil was spilled into our seas in 2025 alone, and this toxic drip feed of pollution is devastating our ocean wildlife 🌊 Take action with us today ✊ 🚫 End new oil & gas: act.oceana.org/page/171529/ac…

There’s a nature-loving majority in this country. Those in power must listen and stop trashing our environment. There are far more of us than there are developer lobbyists. They have the millionaires. We are the millions. We need a bold campaign to get our nature back.

🌡️🎣 "Govts should not point to isolated rebounds [of fish populations] as evidence of success while ignoring the cumulative warming trend beneath them. A temporary rise is not recovery. In some cases, it may be what masks deeper collapse." 🔽 theguardian.com/environment/20…

Enough of the bullshit, enough of the rhetoric, enough of the fiddling around the edges, enough of rearranging the deckchairs, enough of pointless commissions and even more pointless reports, enough of the lying, enough of the deceit, enough of the gaslighting, enough of the masquerade, enough of the pretending it's time for govt to get a grip, to show leadership, to show determination, to do the right thing, to act. It's time to put the water industry back into public ownership and the time to do that is now. But have they got the balls?!

"The privatisation of the water industry has failed and is no longer fit for purpose." 287,761 people have already signed @SOSWhitstable's petition, I would really like to see that cross 300,000. You know what you need to do internet. change.org/p/return-the-w…

Big Oil is wrecking our seas & marine life is paying the price We're working with @OfficialZSL & @CefasGovUK scientists to lift the lid on the oil & gas industry’s dirty secrets, using marine strandings to expose the truth. The data will speak for the animals that can’t. 🚫 End new oil & gas: act.oceana.org/page/171529/ac…
