Coastal communities are hit hardest by microplastic pollution, and local leaders are taking action. Last week, our team visited @Europarl, calling for enforceable rules on plastic pellets—the third-largest source of microplastic pollution in Europe.

🌍 Our home is drowning in plastic. The global plastic pollution treaty is our one chance to end the plastic crisis. Tell governments to support global bans on high-risk plastic products at #INC3. Cast your vote at BanIt.org to help turn single-use into #ZeroUse

During yesterday’s #SustainableFarming panel, Airi Külvet from Puutsa farm in 🇪🇪 stated the vital importance of working with nature, not against it. She also provided insight into the realities of eco-schemes and why shifting to results-based payments may be the way forward.

On this #WorldFisheriesDay 🐟🌍, learn more about why sustainable fisheries is needed and what we are doing to achieve it in the Baltic Sea👉wwfbaltic.org/our-work/marin… #WorldFisheriesDay2024

Why farm sustainably? 🌱 As a previous Baltic Sea Farmer Award winner put it: “These lands of ours depend 100% on the natural environment. These worlds cannot be separated from each other and they absolutely cannot be opposed”. #SustainableFarming #SustainableAgriculture

How can sustainable agriculture help farmers secure a competitive future? 👩🏼‍🌾🫰🌱 @DarioNardella from @TheProgressives and @KallenFox from @WWFBaltic🌊, joined by farmers benefiting from sustainable practices, kick off this discussion today at the @Europarl_EN #Agriculture #CAP

Today some of our previous WWF Baltic Sea Farmer Award winners joined us at @Europarl_EN for an event on #SustainableFarming. These farmers go above and beyond every day to sustainably manage soil, water, nutrients and biodiversity on their farms 🌱 #agriculture #BalticSea

Sustainable farming is needed now more than ever. Join us on Nov 19 to discuss #SustainableFarming for a competitive future 🚜🇪🇺 Register now! eventbrite.co.uk/e/sustainable-…

⏰Last chance to sign up to our joint event next Tuesday! Join us to discuss #SustainableFarming, its challenges and opportunities, and the role of policy. @Green_Europe @WWFEU @RenewEurope @TheProgressives

📉 The science is clear: Fisheries in the northeast Atlantic Ocean are in decline. To turn the tide, governments should adopt a holistic, ecosystem-based management approach instead of focusing on single species. pew.org/4fgU8wQ

Ecosystem-based fisheries management supports: ✅ Climate change resilience ✅ Long-term needs of all species ✅ Holistic ecosystem conservation This month, countries must adopt this approach to preserve the northeast Atlantic's fisheries & biodiversity. pew.org/4fgU8wQ

How do we protect biodiversity in Northeast Atlantic fisheries? Follow the food chain. Instead of conserving a single target species, ecosystem-based fisheries management considers the needs of its predators, prey, and habitat, too. pew.org/4fgU8wQ

📰 Commissioner designate for Fisheries and Ocean @CostasKadis commits that the EU will step up its #protection + #restoration of 🌊 marine ecosystems and incorporate 30x30 into 🇪🇺 law

Krótkowzroczne decyzje ministrów ds. rybołówstwa UE ws. bałtyckich limitów połowowych na 2025 rok stwarzają zagrożenie dla ekosystemu Morza Bałtyckiego: bit.ly/3UhMUjA  #AGRIFISH

Disappointing decision on Baltic Fishing quotas for 2025 👎 EU fisheries minister push Baltic Sea ecosystem closer to collapse! fishsec.org/2024/10/22/bal… #AGRIFISH

Yet again, incredibly short-sighted decisions from EU Fisheries Ministers that put the #Baltic ecosystem, its fish and fisheries at risk!

#BalticSea: 🇪🇺 fisheries ministers agree on catch limits for 2025, aiming to ensure sustainable fishing stocks and a viable sector 🐟 Read the press release 👇 #AGRIFISH europa.eu/!3cPDRp

💬To bardzo ważna Rada, podczas której mają być podjęte decyzje w sprawie kwot połowowych na Morzu Bałtyckim🌊. Wniosek Komisji Europejskiej proponuje duże zmniejszenie tych kwot, zwłaszcza gatunków ważnych dla polskich rybaków. Chodzi przede wszystkim o stado dorsza wschodniego, dorsza zachodniego i szprota🐟. Polska będzie negocjować w celu zmiany propozycji Komisji na bardziej korzystną dla Rybaków. W tym celu będziemy rozmawiać z państwami Bałtyckimi i liczę na to, że uzyskamy poparcie na zwiększenie kwot ostatecznie ustalanych przez Radę. ❗️Uważam, że finalna decyzja powinna być oparta o zrównoważone argumenty ważne z punktu widzenia środowiska, doradztwa naukowego oraz analizę aspektu społeczno-ekonomicznego - powiedział do dziennikarzy sekretarz stanu @czerniak_jacek , przed rozpoczęciem obrad #AGRIFISH.
