I think this a very important reflection. The global anti-trawling campaign needed the “ultimate science-based silver bullet” but the move backfired and now risks of jeopardizing the credibility of the science/policy system. We can’t afford this in a world still too Trumpist …

Give a man a fish, he'll eat for a day.

Teach a man to fish, he'll contribute to the global overdepletion of the ocean.

So give him a salad, maybe.

This new commercial from Mothers Against Greg Abbott is one of the best political ads I’ve ever seen.

Agreed - transparency is an essential ingredient to make fisheries policies work for fishery dependant communities and citizens

[WBG Environment @WBG_Environment]

Integrating development and climate means not ignoring the impacts of plastics on ocean health, community wellness and country economics. Clear call to action at #UNOC2022 to focus across the plastic value chain and start with policy reform: https://t.co/vMY8TBg5pf #SaveOurOcean

Just imagine what these billions could have done in protecting #fish and $fishers if there were not used to undermine marine ecosystems and the fish they sustain. @WTO members please stop the harm this week. @NOIweala @WillsSantiago @SSHRC_CRSH @pewenvironment @oceana

[President Biden Archived @POTUS46Archive]

We should reinstate the ban on assault weapons and high-capacity magazines that we passed in 1994.

In the ten years it was law, mass shootings went down.

After Republicans let the law expire in 2004 — and those weapons were allowed to be sold again — mass shootings tripled.

Why is a🐟at the #WhiteHouse?

This week, trade delegates are working on a deal to #StopFundingOverfishing, but we need all @WTO members to be on board.

People around the 🌏 are showing their support. @AmbassadorTai, let's reel in a deal!

[Wetlands International @WetlandsInt]

Policies to protect biodiversity which don't specifically focus on #wetland ecosystems are missing the point.
We need to see actionable wetland targets if we're going to reverse the biodiversity crisis.

A blue public expenditure review can help countries evaluate budget allocations to ocean sectors, to improve ocean management and achieve a more resilient and inclusive #BlueEconomy. Check out the new #PROBLUE_Oceans factsheet: https://t.co/hNkoWelUf8

A ton of diesel is used every day to catch and preserve #seafood in the remote #Somali #fishing community of Eyl. With lots of wind & sun, #CleanEnergy is a clear opportunity!

Participating in the #WorldBank #SustainableFisheries mission to #Somalia has been amazing, and eye-opening. There is so much potential and hope but so many challenges. Big thanks to the Federal Government of Somalia and Fed. Member State of Puntland.

Starting today, you can find #CostaRica’s fishing fleet illuminated on our map, adding to #Brazil #Chile #Ecuador #Panama and #Peru, whose fleets are already visible. @Incopesca_CR
