Your actions ⁦@10DowningStreet⁩ ⁦@UKHomeSecretary⁩ shame our nation. The arrest of peaceful protestors calling out the genocide of the Palestinian nation by Netanyahu is wrong, illegitimate and to be challenged. https://t.co/rVto8u6ZOT

These governments are making it clear that they are taking the urgent warnings from the scientific community seriously.

We welcome them standing against the rushed introduction of a devastating industry and call on other countries to follow suit.

@steventrent “No country needs minerals from the deep sea to achieve their climate targets. A circular economy is a safe alternative.” - @steventrent

We can and must prevent this ecological catastrophe before it starts. The solutions exist, but we must implement them. https://t.co/X4okutCB8T

“We must not allow the last almost untouched ecosystems on Earth to be destroyed for the financial desires of a few.”

#DeepSeaMining will be devastating for people and planet – we need a moratorium now.

“Without knowing who is catching what, where, when and how, we cannot make progress for a safe, sustainable ocean.”

Illegal fishing and human rights abuses at sea are intertwined – #Transparency is key to combating these abuses.

As EJF's @steventrent says, the new generation of leaders did not cause the crisis in Senegal's fisheries, but they can end it.

Enshrining the @FishCoalition Charter for Transparency into law can help to achieve this.

"The extent of the abuses on the Chinese fleet raises the question of whether authorities in Beijing are aware of the practices, or whether they have simply lost control of the fleet."

However, solutions do exist, writes @steventrent for @WPReview 📝

"We can, and must, leave burning fossil fuels and forests to the history books."

We cannot delay the transition to clean energy any longer. Elaborate greenwashing has no place in the 🇬🇧

🌳 🌊 Die Natur selbst liefert uns die Lösungen für die #Klimakrise. Doch unser Raubbau an ihr droht wertvolle Kohlenstoffsenken zu zerstören. Wir brauchen rechtsverbindliche Ziele für ihren Schutz.

We believe this law can drive "a fundamental shift towards sustainable behaviour, but rigorous enforcement is needed to achieve this," says @steventrent.

The 🇪🇺 has the opportunity to demonstrate its commitment to environmental protection & human rights.

“Rather than exploiting a precious ecosystem... we can start by looking at the materials that have already been mined, and at the swift progress of new technology which doesn’t rely on deep-sea minerals.”

@sofiamazzanaro @OCHBelga @MaredGwyn @bruxelles2 @andreavaldambri @WolfgangHansson @KarinEAxelsson Seafood linked to these vessels is potentially entering global markets.

More attention must be paid to 🇨🇳's DWF and fisheries investments in the SWIO by the Indian Ocean Tuna Commission, coastal, market, port and flag states and, most of all, by the Chinese government.

Experience? We are poorer, more divided, less influential, more unhappy, less safe & more uncertain - all courtesy of a decade plus of Tory rule. They have failed by every measure. Excuses of “events” hold no water. Incompetent, unreliable, unelectable. https://t.co/4bxrHrGizg

Shark finning and physical abuse of crew are just some of the crimes we found in our investigation of the Chinese distant-water fleet.

🇨🇳 and market states must do more to hold perpetrators accountable and ensure products linked to these abuses do not make it to supermarkets.
