Happy World Fisheries Day! 💙 🐟

Around half a billion people depend at least partially on small-scale fisheries for their livelihoods. We work with like-minded partners to support coastal communities and small-scale fishers in 15 countries.

Bottom trawling is bulldozing our ocean floor, undermining small-scale fisheries and deepening the climate crisis.

We call on European leaders to end this destructive practice. Sign the petition to end bottom trawling at https://t.co/noJHxlu7JH.

🌊🐠🐙 We made waves to #BanBottomTrawling in Europe and protect our oceans. The use of massive fishing nets isn't allowed in Marine Protected Areas.

But now industrial fisheries are fighting back. Join @patagoniaeurope in defending our victory! ✊ https://t.co/4eJeeDnyif

🎣 How to battle illegal fishing:

1. Detect when ships disable their transponders
2. Use machine learning to find trends

Watch how a trawler, the Oyang 77, disables its transponder to intrude into Argentina's waters. See how it fits a global pattern.

Fragile deep-water ecosystems should never be exposed to high-impact fishing methods like #BottomTrawling. The new #HighSeasTreaty is good news for marine biodiversity, but states must commit to tackling bottom trawling across 100% of our oceans 🪸🌊

Landmark agreement on conserving and restoring nature has just been adopted! Great to see tireless efforts from indigenous and local communities has resulted in recognition of their role and rights. https://t.co/YU2GZ1whbu

#COP15: Target 3 of the post-2020 global #biodiversity framework must include "Indigenous and traditional territories" as a pathway for recognition beyond protected areas and other effective area-based conservation measures (OECMs).

"The outcome of the UN Biodiversity conference #COP15 in Montreal this week could have implications for thousands of years and help avoid a potential mass extinction event, the Chair (@TonyJuniper) of @naturalengland said" in the @independent

Today on #HumanRightsDay at #COP15, Ben Schachter from the UN Office of the High Commissioner on #HumanRights points to how critical it is that the “human right to a clean, healthy and sustainable environment” language & targets is in the global #biodiversity framework.

2⃣ days into #COP15 @UNBiodiversity 💪

3⃣+orgs. join this statement saying NO🚫 to @nature_org debt-for-nature swaps to finance the 30x30 target or any other conservation project for the matter

There are many reasons for rejecting debt-for-nature swaps👉https://t.co/8DC2qKrkv3

#COP26 very important context for negotiators at COP as these are the kind of cases that can happen when human rights standards are not included in carbon markets regulations @EarthRightsIntl @ciel_tweets 1/3

🔥today, #COP26 rushed adoption of 10yrs work programme on "Action for Climate Empowerment" that fails to recognise rights of participation, access to info & to environmental education
What a let down for children & youth!
@COP26 & other delegations must get their acts together
