Illegal fishing operators take advantage of legal loopholes to hide their identity at sea using "flags of convenience". EU member states must require their citizens to register foreign vessels and make this information public to #EndCorruptionAtSea! #EUOceanPact Learn more⤵️

Illegal fishing threatens ocean health, small-scale livelihoods, and public trust. We need full digital traceability, vessel ownership transparency, and proper monitoring to protect our seas and the people who depend on them. 🛑 No more loopholes. No more turning a blind eye.

🌊 “Cuando las salmoneras terminan su ciclo productivo retiran todo el material y lo que caiga al agua, mala hueva, abajo se quedó”, denuncia Ignacio Fresco Vanzini. “En todos los centros hay una cantidad de alimento y basura debajo que genera un problema muy grande”. #EquipoSalmón

Transparency is an essential foundation of effective fisheries management. So why haven’t most IUU Action Alliance members yet shared basic up-to-date vessel data? Ahead of #UNOC3, Oceana calls for real actionnot just words. #OceanGovernance #IUUFishing 🔗iuuwatch.eu/2025/05/new-br…

Those countries which are part of the Action Alliance against Illegal Fishing, should start taking concrete actions. First step: be transparent on the fishing fleet they operate.

Beneficial ownership refers to the individual or company that ultimately benefits from a fishing vessel, often hidden behind complex corporate structures. Strengthening transparency is key to stopping #IllegalFishing. This must be included in the #EUOceanPact! #EndCorruptionAtSea

France fails to disclose authorisations for its vessels fishing in West Africa, breaching EU rules. 8 French vessels operated in Angola, Ghana, Guinea & Sierra Leone, yet no records appear in the mandatory EU database, & France does not share the permits: europe.oceana.org/press-releases…

“Companies in just ten countries legally own more than half of the large-scale fishing fleet. Panama, Belize, and Honduras are the most commonly used registries by foreign firms to flag vessels” says Daniel Skerritt from Oceana. #UNOC3 #UNOC2025 #UNOceanConference

EU citizens profit from fishing vessels with non-EU flags — avoiding EU sustainability & transparency rules. Profits can flow back to the EU, even if fishing is illegal. There are tools to prevent it - we just need political will. #UNOC3 #UNOC2025 europe.oceana.org/reports/the-eu…

#UNOC3: 🇪🇸 Minister Luis Planas Puchades has announced a fishing ban to protect Cabliers_Reefs in the Alboran Sea. Oceana, who discovered this unique deep-sea reef and later researched it with ICM-CSIC, celebrates the move & urges 🇲🇦🇩🇿 to follow suit.

El level playing field debe aplicarse también en la UE, no solo contra Asia ¿Cómo puede ser que Italia ignore la talla mínima de merluza y en España todos la respeten? Gran trabajo de Oceana in Europe y El Confidencial en 12 puertos de ambos países: elconfidencial.com/espana/2025-06…

Aunque la talla mínima de venta de merluza en Europa es de 20 cm, hemos comprobado que en España se descartan y en Italia se comercializan ejemplares más pequeños, violando así la legislación europea. El Confidencial nos acompañó durante el trabajo en España. Lee su reportaje⤵️

The EU IUU Fishing Coalition (Environmental Justice Foundation, Oceana, The Nature Conservancy, The Pew Trusts, and WWF EU) is a key partner in fighting illegal, unreported, and unregulated fishing. Reaffirmed EU's commitment in showcasing leadership in fisheries governance and transparency.

La acción individual (para frenar el cambio climático) no sirve. Puede aportar, como mucho, un 30% de la reducción de emisiones. Pero queda un 70%-80% de emisiones estructurales. Lo que tenemos que hacer es cambiar estructuras. elsaltodiario.com/cambio-climati…

This is the most hypocrit post I have seen from an EU institution
