We’re concerned by overexploitation of blue🦈,the most heavily fished oceanic🦈, without limits or sustainable management. At this #WCPFC meeting, along with @WILDOCEANSSA and @oceana ,we call to develop limit reference points and begin developing management procedures for blue🦈

[Sharkproject International @sharkproject]

Last week #ICCAT 28th Commission made 2 steps forwards & 1 step back for 🦈.
✔️Harvest strategies for blue 🦈
✔️Catch limit & binding quota in SAtlantic
🥲Catch limit in NAtlantic too high
😫 🇯🇵 prevents Fins Naturally Attached again

#ICCAT2023 ended earlier this week and the 🔑 conclusion is that #ICCAT2024 will have a lot of ground to recover.

At its 28th regular meeting, the International Commission for the #Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (#ICCAT) missed again the chance to implement the much-needed stricter harvesting rules of blue sharks to maintain healthy stocks in the Atlantic.

Day &  Night on mission at #ICCAT in Egypt 🇪🇬. This year stepping up blue shark management is our focus. Why are 🦈 deprived of what is by now a standard for 🍣? https://t.co/0nyVLlFTT3

Calling to all catch nations to support NOW precautionary management at ICCAT

🦀 New TBT Coalition newsletter! 🦀

Read this month's issue to learn about the impacts of #bottomtrawling on coastal communities in Senegal, strategies to secure artisanal fishing zones in West Africa, and why we should #SayNoToScampi in the UK 🪸

We are calling to all contracting parties to support these proposals applying the most precautionary approach to catch limits for blue 🦈

[Sharkproject International @sharkproject]

#ICCAT Compliance Meeting & 28th Commission Meeting have started, we are here for #sharks and there are 5 🦈 proposals tabled - Management measures and catch limits for blue 🦈 and retention bans for whale 🦈, mantas & mobulids tabled by 🇪🇺 and 🇬🇧 and a proposal for FNA from 🇺🇸

[Transform Bottom Trawling Coalition @TBTCoalition]

We have supported and funded a new investigative report by the @ejfoundation into the environmental and socio-economic impacts of bottom trawling in Senegal.

🌊 Urgent Action Needed! 🌍 The NE Atlantic ecosystem is facing a crisis. The latest @osparcomm QSR 2023 paints a bleak picture of ongoing deterioration. We call on coastal state ministers to adopt an ecosystem-based approach to fisheries management. 🐟🌿#QSR2023 #MakeEBFMWork

We’re 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/3qKGp6z1i1

📣 During #UNGA78, we marched in the streets of NYC to demand for ocean and climate action now!

#DeepSeaMining, #bottomtrawling and other human activities would exacerbate the #ClimateCrisis.

➡️ Hear from government ministers on why we need to #DefendTheDeep!🇨🇷🇵🇼🇫🇷

In the EU #BottomTrawling kills tonnes of #MarineLife as bycatch every year, 93.2% of EU discards. Removing these creatures🐡🐠🦐from the ocean compromises #OurOcean’s role in storing carbon, contributing to #ClimateChange. #BanBottomTrawling #EUActionPlan https://t.co/hhAeZDp2kq
