This week, the EU & UK will decide the fate of depleted fish populations like Irish Sea and Celtic Sea cod and whiting. High time to prioritise their recovery, #EndOverfishing and put long-term sustainability before short-term gain. @EUCouncil@EU_MARE@DefraGovUK@DanielZeichner
I'm joining @DeepSeaConserve in calling on Commissioner @VSinkevicius to demonstrate once again his commitment to the protection of the #DeepSea & steer the adoption of new closures of #Seamounts & other #VMEs in European waters: https://t.co/Clis0jIkp5
Small fish, like sandeel or sprat, play a huge role in the ocean ecosystem. But they are at risk due to overfishing & #ClimateChange, threatening the sustainability of other species. #NorthEastAtlantic states must acknowledge the importance of #ForageFish for ecosystem health!
Our fisheries audit Taking Stock 2023 is out.
5 out of top 10 fisheries overfished
Of the 104 fish populations analysed a third (34%) are being overfished and only 45% are being sustainably fished.

We urge EU ministers to finally act to end overfishing at the #AgriFish Council next week. The EU has ended up in court for failing to meet the legal deadline to achieve this by 2020. They must act now to protect our marine #biodiversity.

Watch the video: along with 7 other blue NGOs, we reminded decision-makers yesterday in Brussels to return 🇪🇺 fish populations to their former abundance by setting fishing opportunities in line with scientific recommendations. 🐟 It's time to #EndOverfishing!
We're getting everything set up for today's "Missing Fish" event in Brussels. Curious? Keep an eye on #EndOverfishing throughout the day to learn more.
The 2023 scientific advice for #European_eel is out! Zero catches in all habitats and for all life stages. Zero other anthropogenic mortalities. Time to stop fishing and start restoring key eel habitats! Further action on pollutants is also needed.
Ecosystem-based fisheries management is a legal obligation, an ecological necessity & a change that is sorely needed in Northeast Atlantic fisheries.
In our latest @PewEurope brief, we unpack the opportunity NEA states have to #MakeEBFMWork. A 🧵

Die Ausbeutung u. Zerstörung unserer #Meere geschieht unter der Oberfläche, ungesehen u. ungehört. Hören wir auf die Stimme der Fische u. überdenken wir unsere Verbindung zum Meer. BUND Kunstaktion #VoiceOfTheFish startet heute in #Kiel. ▶️ https://t.co/xsqwDuX1n2 @OceanUnger
No agreement reached on international protection of the high seas after 2 weeks of negotiations at UNHQ in New York.
This story explains why that's bad:

Watch our video explaining how the EU’s Common Fisheries Policy is still the right tool to save our ocean and why we are calling on @EU_MARE, @EUCouncil and @Europarl_EN to not change it, but use it! #CFPReality

Breaking news: the Court of Justice of the European Union has been called on to decide if EU ministers have illegally set unsustainable fishing limits. It follows a legal action by Friends of the Irish environment supported by ClientEarth. https://t.co/F6czfoVwff
The European Union has just set the fishing limits for EU-only stocks for 2022 in the North-East Atlantic. We regret that these limits go beyond precautionary scientific advice for several data-limited stocks, like southern hake, pollack and Kattegat cod. https://t.co/Ag6tHJZV7E
