7/7 — @EnvAgency, where the pass is ineffective, what remedial action has been taken or planned? Is it delivering effective eel passage, and where is the evidence? @DefraGovUK #EelGate #SaveTheEels

Serious question for the EA:
If Mill Pitt remains a barrier to migratory species, how is this being reconciled with the WFD and Water Environment (WFD) Regulations 2017?
The public deserves evidence, not assurances.

Where are the raw counts?
Where are the monitoring records?
Where are the mortality figures?
Where are the calculations behind the estimates?

This makes little sense when many millions of juvenile eels arrive every year only to become trapped and die because migration routes remain blocked. A chance to strengthen struggling populations is being refused.

If enforcement is the priority, then enforce conservation too.
Protecting eels isn’t just about checking keepnets on the Trent. It’s about tackling the biggest avoidable causes of eel mortality and removing barriers that stop them reaching the rivers they need.

Where barriers cannot be removed immediately, these eels should be safely collected and relocated to suitable habitats to give them a chance of survival.

A life cycle repeated for thousands of years.
Ancient. Fragile. Extraordinary.
And today, increasingly under threat.

SEG’s new “Governance of Eel Protection” paper (March 2026) claims the eel crisis is not biological but political. This is a strategic reframing: shifting blame from exploitation to “governance failures.” #EelSaving #EelGate @CostasKadis

If credibility is the goal, the eel sector needs more than “simplified standards”.
It needs transparency, independent science, full traceability and a genuinely precautionary approach to harvesting a critically endangered species.

Millions of juvenile eels reach man-made weirs, sluices, and flood barriers every year and cannot pass. Assisted migration is not allowed or authorised, leaving them trapped.

This is a species in catastrophic decline. Blocking migration = blocking reproduction = extinction.
This isn’t conservation. It’s negligence.

SEG’s Traceability Collapse
France glass eel catch: 52.5t.
25% = 13.1t potentially uncertified.
And this is called credible?
For a group claiming to protect the eel, this is a failure.

Now meet the European eel — Critically Endangered since 2008.
A fish that migrates 5,000km from the Sargasso Sea to UK rivers. One of the most extraordinary life cycles on Earth.

Silver eel escapement — the key recovery metric — is not directly measured in the Severn. It’s modelled. With the loss of fishery data, these models become even more detached from reality.

Local counts, tagging, eel passes… exist. National migration and spawner data? ZERO!Track it, record it, publish—or admit we’re failing UK eels.

We’re talking a critically endangered species. SEG’s slow, sloppy recertification isn’t protection—it’s eelwashing. A “sustainability label” that doesn’t safeguard eels is worthless marketing.

Meanwhile, SEG-certified fishers were convicted in France in 2025 for illegal trade.
The system failed to prevent it.
SEG’s “safeguards” don’t safeguard.

🧵Thread: SEG — PR NGO or conservation fraud?
Unpacking how the Sustainable Eel Group (SEG) claims credit for others’ enforcement work, while lobbying against science and enabling eel killings. #EelSaving #EelGate #EelDeal2030 👇
SEGs Deception
“After repeated failures—ISEAL suspension, court appearances, and lapsed certifications etc —the Sustainable Eel Group has gone into hiding. This exposes their false claims and a fake system built on deception.”
