“If we don’t take measures now to protect the high seas—collectively, globally—the costs will likely be catastrophic: biologically, economically and geopolitically,” says @damanaki, the Global Managing Director for Oceans at @nature_org. bit.ly/2SaK1PU

Reforming transshipment will require the global community to commit to transparency. Here’s why it matters.

Am I the only Earth scientist who is fucking terrified about climate breakdown?

New @EDGEofExistence Sharks & Rays list highlights the most evolutionarily distinct & globally endangered sharks & ray species. Unsurprisingly, flat sharks (particularly sawfishes, angel sharks & guitarfishes) feature heavily on the list. HT @SharkTrustUK bbc.com/news/science-e…

Washed ashore #whales, #seaturtles and #birds with stomachs full of plastics is becoming more and more common. @bydanielvictor @nytimes reports on the latest (found) tragedy from #Indonesia. nyti.ms/2DBlY7P

”So we have not come here to beg the world leaders to care for our future. They have ignored us in the past and they will ignore us again. We have come here to let them know that change is coming whether they like it or not.” From my speech yesterday at #COP24

The lack of transparency around fisheries negociations facilitates poor decision making & overfishing. Mackerel has been overfished for a decade & as a result @ICES_ASC advised a 60% cut in landings to protect the stock. This has been ignored & a quota set 335035 t above advice

Time is running out to meet the 2020 deadline to #EndOverfishing. Dear @EUCouncil, @EU2018AT, @EU_MARE and Commissioner @KarmenuVella – don’t water down your promises #RespectTheLimit at next month's #AGRIFISH council

Plastic waste can poison, injure and kill marine life. We can reduce the amount of plastics in the ocean by first reducing our consumption of plastic products. #TurtleTuesday

EU fisheries Ministers & the EU Commission today decided that they would again ignore scientific advice, sanctioning overfishing & agreeing to remove the protection of catch limits for many deep-sea fish stocks. The disregard for the law, science & public opinion is staggering.

The EU has agreed on quotas for deep-sea stocks in the EU and international waters in the North-East Atlantic, for 2019 and 2020; a missed opportunity to hit overfishing targets, says @Pew_EU, @oceana @SeasAtRisk: ow.ly/a43h30mGmmb

This remote island should be home to a thriving community of endangered sharks... But poachers won't let that happen.

Reminder that overfishing is a conscious choice, voted for enthusiastically by legislators representing EU citizens. Measures to #EndOverfishing in Med proposed by @EU_MARE & @KarmenuVella, being blocked by states & MEPs.

What do #PortStateMeasures do? For one thing, they allow countries to deny entry to vessels engaged in #IUU fishing, sending the message that their ports don’t welcome illegal catch. pew.org/2IGKGTE #ICCAT
