"To meet net zero and stop biodiversity decline we must work with nature, not against it. This means restoring habitats, properly planning offshore development, and investing in protected areas to safeguard wildlife and keep blue carbon locked up,” .independent.co.uk/climate-change…

BREAKING: UK & Isle of Man seabed habitats store an astonishing 244 million tonnes of carbon—in top 10cm alone. 🌊❗️ The Blue Carbon Mapping Project by RSPB, The Wildlife Trusts, WWF UK & Scottish Association for Marine Science shows just how vital our seabed sediments, saltmarshes & seagrass meadows are.

EU vs Puffins- Shamefully, the EU has just triggered post Brexit arbitration mechanism to to try and force the UK to reopening the ecologically devastating Sandeels fishery that is at the heart of the collapse of North Sea marine food chains. oceans-and-fisheries.ec.europa.eu/news/eu-reques…

This is a scandalous attempt to reverse a hard-won victory for under-pressure seabirds such as Puffins and Kittiwakes. The UK Government must remain resolute in defence of these closures. Read our full statement: brnw.ch/21wO9Xe

The EU is trying to kill Puffins. Earlier this year, the UK and Scottish Governments announced that industrial sandeel fishing will no longer be permitted in English and Scottish waters. Industrial sandeel fishing in the North Sea is starving Puffins and Kittiwakes to death.

⚠️ Europe’s green transition is already underway - we can’t stop now! Renewable and green technologies are powering the EU economy, benefiting business, nature and society. They also help create a resilient, sustainable and socially fair EU. More than 180 NGOs agree:

Our seas aren’t just massive fishing grounds, they’re vital to all life on Earth. Yet, EU industrial fisheries keep pushing them to the brink. Here's our take on Costas Kadis' hearing. #hearings #restorenature

A harsh wind blows from the European Commission! Puffins, Kittiwakes, and many sea mammals outwait their hunger as the ban on sandeel fishing in UK and Scottish waters is still being challenged by the Commission. To “settle” the dispute, an arbitration tribunal has been opened.

Puffins, Kittiwakes, Razorbills—the UK’s decision to end sandeel fishing was a hard-won lifeline for our struggling seabirds. The EU’s move to challenge it risks undoing that progress. 🚨 We urge the Commission to support, not undermine, this key step for marine biodiversity.
