"Very idea that humans might become so voracious as to empty the seas of fish seemed absurd only a few short years ago. Today scientific evidence points to a brutal reality from which there is no escape. In barely a generation, humans have exhausted most prolific creatures on the planet"

"EPA expands fish kill investigation to further sites". Why are non-compliant businesses & repeat offenders allowed to continue to operate when breaches are known? @EPAIreland rte.ie/news/ireland/2…

Don’t let the EU tear down hard won nature protections The European Commission is quietly trying to dismantle the laws that safeguard nature They think we wouldn’t notice or care But we do Please take a moment to tell them to keep their #HandsOffNature swanireland.ie/take-action/ha…

What would be so very wrong with all verges looking like this? It's not causing accidents or obstructing the view. It's just a verge full of colour & life, and it looks fantastic 😍

We welcome these measures,they will help,but why no quota on boats <18m, despite them taking 46% of all sprat caught in 2024? The fishery is still open to huge overfishing & is data deficient? This keystone species deserves watertight protection. @timmydooley @MichealMartinTD

Industrial trawling of sprat in Ireland’s inshore waters to be banned. This decision reflects the valuable input and advocacy of coastal communities throughout the consultation process.

@COSullivanTD We welcome these measures! They will go some way to protecting sprat but why no quota on vessels <18m, despite them taking 46% of all sprat caught in 2024? The fishery is still open to massive overfishing? This keystone species deserves watertight protection. #saveoursprat

Our march, scheduled for Aug 13th in #Clonakilty is postponed while we digest the government measures on sprat from this week. Rest assured, we are not taking a step back, we will continue to campaign actively & aggressively for sprat, with colleagues nationwide. #Cork #westcork

It’s not just west cork that sprat overfishing happens, Donegal bay will be next to see a collapse in stock (and then local marine mammal loss, which will be huge hit on tourism the same as west cork) this humpback was taken this week in Donegal bay, one of 7 in the bay at moment

Thank you @WhitmoreJen. We need politicians to step up & back a moratorium on sprat fishing until science is available. Help us drive that message home at our march in #Clonakilty on August 13th. #cork #westcork @catherinegalway @think_or_swim @corkindo @Grantie79 #Rosscarbery

Today, @WhitmoreJen will introduce a Bill proposing a moratorium on commercial sprat fishing in Irish waters. Right now, sprat is being fished intensively with no quota, no management plan, and no protections in place. That is simply not sustainable. socialdemocrats.ie/whitmore-intro…

@SocDems @WhitmoreJen Thank you Jennifer. Finally someone who gets that action is needed immediately, before we are down a road we can't come back from! Let's get the science & then act accordingly. Until then suspend fishing for sprat! #saveoursprat
