Court in the Netherlands rules that trawlers cannot fish in the Natura-2000 conservation area in the Dogger Bank in the North Sea without a govt. permit, for which they need a ruling that their "fishery activities" will not damage marine life there. https://t.co/EldADxaywA

“The nature crisis is happening now. It is imperative that we protect & enhance that
which already exists – not, as in the case of Sizewell C, destroy precious wildlife habitats with the claim of BNG decades in the future...." See

Ed gaslighting again. Sizewell C is not 'homegrown clean power' - the developer is French govt owned EDF with their flawed EPR reactor design which requires overseas uranium & will produce 3900 tonnes of toxic radioactive waste for futute generations to look after for millennia!

[Together Against Sizewell C (TASC) @SayNo2SizewellC]

Well said, nature is in crisis. Sizewell C in an AONB, surrounded by designated wildlife sites & partially built on Sizewell Marshes SSSI, should never have been given DCO approval & demonstrates Fingleton is wrong - environmental regulations don't hold up infrastructure projects
