Seas At Risk

🌊 Small-scale fishers in the Med warn that fish populations are declining. 🐟 We don’t need a new law, we need the rules of the #CommonFisheriesPolicy properly implemented. ⚖️ #RethinkFisheries #EUFisheries @CostasKadis #EUBiodiversity #OceanPact #CFP 👉seas-at-risk.org/press-releases…

💰 #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

Paris Fashion Week is here 👗 But here’s something we don’t see on the runway: Many clothes are made from plastic fibres. Every wash sheds microplastics, some ending up in our ocean 🌊 Fashion can be beautiful AND responsible. #ParisFashionWeek #Microplastics #MaterialMatters

The pressures on Med artisanal fisheries aren’t about the design of the #CommonFisheriesPolicy, but gaps in implementation & enforcement Let’s protect what works 🎥 Watch & read more: seas-at-risk.org/multimedia/vid… #EUOceanPact #EUOceanDays #MissionOcean #RethinkFisheries @CostasKadis

We still barely understand the deep sea - why risk mining it? 🤔Today, we & @DeepSeaConserve launch our #DeepSeaMiningFacts series to sort reality from industry myths. Check fact 1 here 🔗 seas-at-risk.org/wp-content/upl… #KeepItInTheSeabed #DefendTheDeep

🇪🇺 As EU leaders negotiate the upcoming #MFF, the next #EUBudget must stop funding nature’s destruction and start investing in low-impact fishing. #StopHarmfulSubsidies! 🌊 Read more seas-at-risk.org/publications/t… #RethinkFisheries #EUBiodiversity #EUOceanDays #MissionOcean

🚨 🇪🇸Spain spends 4x more destroying nature than protecting it. €8bn in 2024 went to activities driving #EUBiodiversity loss, vs €2bn for conservation. #StopHarmfulSubsidies!🌍 Find out more → seas-at-risk.org/members-news/t… @ecologistas

Why is full implementation of fisheries control so important? 👀Read the many reasons why in our joint letter to @CostasKadis. We need transparency, consistent enforcement, & to maintain the EU’s credibility - both within Europe & on the global stage. 🌍 seas-at-risk.org/publications/j…

As @CostasKadis said, the updated Fisheries Control Regulation was a major achievement.🚀 Now it's time to follow through - tackling hidden overfishing & ensuring fair fisheries across Europe depends on it.🎣Leadership = delivering on what was agreed. youtube.com/watch?v=UHLu8r…

150+ countries back @IPBES: GDP growth is driving #EUbiodiversity collapse. Yet the @EU_Commission is pushing deregulation in the name of competitiveness. Ignoring science is self-sabotage. #HandsOffNature @vonderleyen @CostasKadis ipbes.net/node/97532 #MPAs #RethinkFisheries

Remind our leaders what people want them to protect: clean air, safe water, and our health💧 Why? Because right now, they are handing out permits to poison our water, food, & nature 🤢 Don't let that happen. Sign our petition now ✍️ 👉handsoffnature.eu #HandsOffNature ✋
