Seas At Risk

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. Read our #PressRelease 👉seas-at-risk.org/press-releases… #RethinkFisheries #EUFisheries

📢 Today marks the EU #EndOfFishDay, the day when Europe has exhausted its domestic seafood for 2026 & now depends on imports for the rest of the year. seas-at-risk.org/press-releases… #EUFisheries #EUBiodiversity #LowImpactFisheries #EndOverfishing #RethinkFisheries @CostasKadis @EU_MARE

.@CostasKadis, without the Habitats Directive, marine mammals, countless species, & #Natura2000 habitats are left defenseless. We have to protect the laws that protect #OurOcean! ✍️handsoffnature.eu #EUFisheries #MPAs #EUBiodiversity #HandsOffNature

🚨 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-cou…

📢New study reveals that #BottomTrawling catches ~3000 species, incl threatened ones.🐡Yet it continues in #MPAs. @CostasKadis, this must end. #MPAs are meant to safeguard marine species, —#BottomTrawling does the exact opposite. #ProtectedMeansProtected 🐟news.mongabay.com/short-article/…

EC report on #MSPD shows #EUOceanGovernance remains fragmented 🌊 @CostasKadis, @vonderleyen 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-releases… #EUBiodiversity #EUFisheries #EUBlueEconomy

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. @Piotr_Serafin, we must stop funding the destruction of our own seas. #TaxpayerMoney #MFF news.nationalgeographic.org/new-peer-revie…

Catching unwanted fish and dumping them back into the sea weakens the whole ecosystem. We call on #AGRIFISH Ministers & @CostasKadis to prevent the issue by fully implementing the #CFP with ecosystem-based approach & selective fishing. #RethinkFisheries

The @EU_Commission is about to publish its evaluation of the #CommonFisheriesPolicy. @CostasKadis here is why implementation & enforcement matter more than reform. Read here👉 seas-at-risk.org/general-news/c… #RethinkFisheries #EUFisheries #CFP

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! @CostasKadis #RethinkFisheries #EUFisheries

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

🎥 Across the Med fishers see the value of #MPAs 🌊 for healthier ecosystems & more resilient fisheries. But weak enforcement risks undermining them. #CommonFisheriesPolicy needs to be fully implemented✅ 👉Read more seas-at-risk.org/publications/v… #RethinkFisheries @CostasKadis

🎥 Join our webinar 'Red Lines in the Abyss' (15/04)! 💰 #DeepSeaMining is facing growing financial pushback: 82 institutions (€24tn) have raised concerns or restrictions. What does this mean for the industry’s future? Register🔗 seas-at-risk.org/events/webinar… #KeepItInTheSeabed

HIRING: Consultant on Decarbonising Road Transport Beyond Mining-Intensive Pathways! 🚗⚡ Experts in transport/climate policy, mobility systems & resource governance invited to apply by 19/04. More info here 👉 seas-at-risk.org/wp-content/upl…

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

⚖️The global system to regulate #DeepSeaMining isn’t ready. Key rules under @ISBAHQ 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/upl… #DefendTheDeep

Today, the @EU_Commission released the ports and ind. maritime industry strategies. Our verdict? They must go hand in hand with protecting the ecosystems that sustain it. Read on to find out more: seas-at-risk.org/press-releases…

While the @EU_Commission discusses its #Vision2040 for Fisheries &Aquaculture during #EUOceanDays, we urge policy makers to take inspiration from the vision for fair, low-impact fisheries & call on stakeholders to endorse it! 👉 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/upl… #KeepItInTheSeabed

🌱 Is #DeepSeaMining needed for the #GreenTransition? No - it’s a false solution. 🔋 New batteries reduce demand ♻️ Recycling & reuse are growing 📉 Smarter use could cut demand by 58% Don’t let it distract from real solutions. 🔗 seas-at-risk.org/wp-content/upl… #DefendTheDeep
