It’s completely incomprehensible that one of the most destructive ways of fishing is permitted in Marine Protected Areas. What exactly are these areas protected from? Please contact @SteveReedMP to urge action on this crucial issue to protect & restore our seas. @OceanaUK

🚨 HUGE heap of dead sharks found on UK beach were likely tossed aside as bycatch by industrial fishing vessels 🦈

Over the last few days, HUNDREDS of dead sharks and fish have been discovered 💔

Our seas deserve better than this

BREAKING NEWS:

FREE THE 15....... THE 15 HAVE BEEN FREED

Steph Spyro @StephSpyro and the @Daily_Express have saved the penguins which are currently being held captive in the basement of the London Aquarium. 👏👏👏

Huge, huge, huge achievement. Hip hip hooray.

A brilliant, brilliant example of nothing more than having a clear vision, a strategic objective coupled with the guts, the ambition and determination to deliver it. Huge round of applause.

Mighty I suggest that others, especially those within the eNGO charity sector will want to take note.

🎉Seabed life TRIPLES after bottom trawling ban in Scotland protected area!

1,500+ animals were recorded in 100 litres of sediment. “Extrapolate that over the entire region of the MPA, & you’re looking at billions of organisms." What incredible recovery!

Thanks, Pam! Just passed 120K .
People don't need to be put off by the government's 'it would take years nonsense'. In the 2008 banking crash, Northern Rock took 5 days to nationalise and British steel is being done now in just a few weeks.
People have the power to change their future but they have to use it - and if government is trying to discourage them from signing, that ought to be confirmation that we are on to something and it is a good idea!

🚨 Scientists have combed through 9,000 fisheries reports to lift a lid on just how horrific bottom trawling for our seas. It will shock you.

~3,000 different marine species have been caught by bottom trawlers, however the true number may be double this👇

Hold the government to its promise: no new oil and gas in UK seas! 🛑 Big Oil is pushing for more drilling, but it causes toxic spills and harms marine life—all without lowering our bills. Let's protect our ocean. Sign the petition: https://t.co/buBTRJbU45 via @38degrees

Jonathan gets it, how come govt doesn’t?

Happy 100th Birthday Sir David! Thank you for all you've done for our seas 🌊 💙 🌍

[Oceana UK @OceanaUK]

💪 We've joined forces with other NGOs to send an open letter to UK Govt with a simple demand: END OVERFISHING 🎣

Why? Because 1 in 4 UK fish populations are overfished. It's time to take a stand for our seas.

“Fishing is on the edge of the abyss.” ⚓🐟

Clive has spent his life at sea - and he’s sounding the alarm

Overfishing is emptying UK waters, putting fish and fishing livelihoods at risk.

Tell the PM: end overfishing now. https://t.co/Tpk3RRFN9E 🌊

🚨 “Stocks of iconic fish like mackerel & cod are in free fall”

Govt is allowing the largest industrial vessels to squeeze out small local boats, & drive fish populations to the brink. Our campaigner, Izzy, spoke to Wicked Leeks about what this means 👇
