Fossil fuel lobbyists are attending #COP29 in significant numbers, according to a new analysis of badges based on the @UNFCCC attendance list. Among the attendees, 132 #fossilfuel company executives hold Presidency badges 🛢️ @edking_I https://t.co/ZvjOHNBeJT

Plastic is flooding our #ocean. Will it be all that's left for our grandchildren to see? 😖 In 10 days, we begin the 5th round of #PlasticsTreaty negotiations. This treaty could reverse the #plastic crisis, it's urgent to get it right ! #INC5

It is now up to you – the @EU_Commission, and in particular the future Ocean Commissioner @CostasKadis, Members of the @Europarl_EN and Member States – to make it happen! ⏰

[Surfrider Europe @surfridereurope]

Today, Commissioner-Designate @CostasKadis spoke at EU hearings. Here is our reaction 🔗⤵️ #OceansPact

[Surfrider Europe @surfridereurope]

In this context & in the face of the triple crisis that is impacting the #Ocean, Europe’s seas and coastal communities, EU institutions have much in their power to change the situation. We need a strong Oceans Pact, aligned with the #BlueManifesto https://t.co/nHUckRWm27 🌍

[Vera Coelho @VeraMPCoelho]

#EUOceanPact will not include legislation, it will just be a framework for coordination of ocean-related policies, says @CostasKadis. This is not a good message to send to #UNOC3 in Nice. We need action, not just more documents to end up in MEP drawers, as said by @emmawiesner...

Keep the #EUGreenDeal solid - it secures future jobs, prosperity, a healthy climate & thriving nature!
@EU_Commission must push for smarter implementation, not roll back ambition. Society & businesses need certainty and nature can’t wait!

[Surfrider Europe @surfridereurope]

Enough is enough. The world is already drowning in #plastic. It’s time to stop treating our planet like a landfill and start thinking of the health of its people and the planet! We need a strong #PlasticsTreaty ! #INC5

Madlie Le Bihan (@RenewablesGrid) was at the #OceanLab to show that offshore infrastructures must be deployed with environmental protection 🌍 We need the #EU to shift away from #fossilfuels & this shift must be done w/ precautions to protect the ocean 👉https://t.co/eGHX57cTnT

[Surfrider Europe @surfridereurope]

How can the #EU reconcile the conservation of #biodiversity and the sustainable exploitation of the living resources of the sea ? 🐟 @DidierGascuel from @InstitutAgroRA recently spoke at the #OceanLab to MEPs about the challenges facing fisheries. https://t.co/M9g6psrnqb

[Surfrider Europe @surfridereurope]

Wastewater, agricultural runoff, cruise ships… Many sources invade our ocean with contaminants. Adam Lillicrap from @NIVAforskning was present at the #OceanLab during #EUOceanWeek to raise awareness about contaminants of emerging concern (CoEC) ��  https://t.co/tDHqZeOKeD #ocean

[Oceana in Europe @OceanaEurope]

A healthy ocean is essential for climate resilience, food security, a thriving blue economy, and prosperous coastal communities.

It’s time to place the ocean at the center of decision-making by adopting an #EUOceanDeal!
