We’re concerned by overexploitation of blue🦈,the most heavily fished oceanic🦈, without limits or sustainable management. At this #WCPFC meeting, along with @WILDOCEANSSA and @oceana ,we call to develop limit reference points and begin developing management procedures for blue🦈

Last week #ICCAT 28th Commission made 2 steps forwards & 1 step back for 🦈. ✔️Harvest strategies for blue 🦈 ✔️Catch limit & binding quota in SAtlantic 🥲Catch limit in NAtlantic too high 😫 🇯🇵 prevents Fins Naturally Attached again

#ICCAT2023 ended earlier this week and the 🔑 conclusion is that #ICCAT2024 will have a lot of ground to recover. Check our analysis in the link or in the thread below 👇 sciaena.org/en/iccat-and-n… (+ considerations on #NEAFC2023) #ICCAT #StayTuned #MakeEBFMWork 🧵1/5

At its 28th regular meeting, the International Commission for the #Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (#ICCAT) missed again the chance to implement the much-needed stricter harvesting rules of blue sharks to maintain healthy stocks in the Atlantic. Read more: shorturl.at/qwO19

Day &  Night on mission at #ICCAT in Egypt 🇪🇬. This year stepping up blue shark management is our focus. Why are 🦈 deprived of what is by now a standard for 🍣? sharkproject.org/en/cooperation… Calling to all catch nations to support NOW precautionary management at ICCAT

Meeting with our 🦈 friends from the Shark League in 🇪🇬 over 28th Commission Meeting of #ICCAT, where we hope to see positive outcomes for #blue sharks, #whale sharks, #mantas & mobulids this year 🤞 @sharkleague @sharkAdvocates @SharkTrustUK @EcologyAction

The 28th annual Meeting of #ICCAT is happening from November 13 to 20 in New Cairo, Egypt! And Sciaena’s team will once again be following the discussions very closely. #StayTuned for our 2023 priorities...👀🐟🦈 #ICCAT2023 iccat.int/en/Meetings.ht…

🦀 New TBT Coalition newsletter! 🦀 Read this month's issue to learn about the impacts of #bottomtrawling on coastal communities in Senegal, strategies to secure artisanal fishing zones in West Africa, and why we should #SayNoToScampi in the UK 🪸 👉shorturl.at/ahyUX👈

We are calling to all contracting parties to support these proposals applying the most precautionary approach to catch limits for blue 🦈

#ICCAT Compliance Meeting & 28th Commission Meeting have started, we are here for #sharks and there are 5 🦈 proposals tabled - Management measures and catch limits for blue 🦈 and retention bans for whale 🦈, mantas & mobulids tabled by 🇪🇺 and 🇬🇧 and a proposal for FNA from 🇺🇸

We have supported and funded a new investigative report by the @ejfoundation into the environmental and socio-economic impacts of bottom trawling in Senegal. Learn more here 👇 transformbottomtrawling.org/news/uniting-o…

🌊 Urgent Action Needed! 🌍 The NE Atlantic ecosystem is facing a crisis. The latest @osparcomm QSR 2023 paints a bleak picture of ongoing deterioration. We call on coastal state ministers to adopt an ecosystem-based approach to fisheries management. 🐟🌿#QSR2023 #MakeEBFMWork

We’re joining @DeepSeaConserve in calling on Commissioner @VSinkevicius to demonstrate once again his commitment to the protection of the #DeepSea & steer the adoption of new closures of #Seamounts & other #VMEs in European waters: bit.ly/3tyyrFC

📣 During #UNGA78, we marched in the streets of NYC to demand for ocean and climate action now! #DeepSeaMining, #bottomtrawling and other human activities would exacerbate the #ClimateCrisis. ➡️ Hear from government ministers on why we need to #DefendTheDeep!🇨🇷🇵🇼🇫🇷

In the EU #BottomTrawling kills tonnes of #MarineLife as bycatch every year, 93.2% of EU discards. Removing these creatures🐡🐠🦐from the ocean compromises #OurOcean’s role in storing carbon, contributing to #ClimateChange. #BanBottomTrawling #EUActionPlan rb.gy/x4ax1
