📢New report shows that the current EU fisheries policy favours large-scale industry to the detriment of small-scale & low-impact fisheries. 📷We call on Costas Kadis to take action to fully enforce EU law! #OceansPact #RethinkFisheries #Pressrelease 👉seas-at-risk.org/press-releases…



First 🇺🇸 Donald Trump signs exec order to fast-track #DeepSeaMining. Then, The Metals Company files to start mining in intl waters. Now, the EU 🇪🇺 is making it clear: the intl seabed is not up for grabs & intl law is not optional - it's binding. We need a 🌎 moratorium now!


We stand with Environmental Justice Foundation & other NGOs in calling on the European Commission to launch infringement proceedings against France, Germany, & Italy for allowing harmful bottom trawling in #MPAs. It's time to truly protect MPAs! 🐠🌊🪸#ProtectedMeansProtected 🧑⚖️ ejfoundation.org/news-media/eu-…

📢Today representatives of small-scale fishers, scientists, citizens & civil society handed in a petition to Costas Kadis signed by over 250,000 European citizens✍️, calling to #EndBottomTrawling in #MPAs. 🐠#ProtectedMeansProtected 👉seas-at-risk.org/press-releases… #PressRelease



🌊 How can cross-border #MaritimeSpatialPlanning balance nature & energy needs? ⚖️ Join us + Deutsche Umwelthilfe in Nice 🇫🇷 during #UNOC3 for Beyond Borders: an evening of insight, debate & networking on #OffshoreWind, #MSP & more! 🎟️ Programme & registration: eventbrite.com/e/beyond-borde…



As #EMD2025 starts, 65+ NGOs urge Ursula von der Leyen, Costas Kadis & European Commission leaders to step up the #OceanPact Led by ClientEarth Europe , Seas At Risk, Oceana in Europe, BirdLife Europe & Central Asia, Surfrider Europe & WWF EU: Solutions exist. Let’s deliver. #BlueManifesto

🌊Happy #BiodiversityDay! 🌊 EU seas & oceans are rich in habitats &marine life. But #MPAs are under threat from destructive fishing practices. We call on the European Commission to take bold action to truly preserve protected species. It's time to ensure that #ProtectedMeansProtected


SAR’s sustainable trade and #shipping workshop at #EMD2025: Isabelle Ryckbost from ESPO Secretariat says that ports must be part of the solution! There is a maritime bond between the sea and economy but also keeps the EU linked to the rest of the world. #ShippingChange


Lise Detrimont from @iswa_secretary shows that wind ships and technologies that can cut GHG emissions: up to 30% on retrofit and up to 80% on a new ship & also reduces #UnderwaterNoise. A no brainer! So let’s make sure wind is mentioned in the #OceanPact European Commission #EMD2025



🌊 The upcoming European #OceanPact must secure a sustainable, low-impact blue economy that supports the ocean & local communities. European Commission: A healthy ocean means a healthier future for everyone. Let's make it happen before it's too late #BlueManifesto #EUOceanPact


2 former 🇪🇺Commissioners join calls on Costas Kadis to ensure his #OceansPact is bold & binding to address the threats #OurOcean faces. With #UNOC just days away all eyes are on him to show the EU can be the leader the ocean 🌊 & planet 🌍 so badly need euobserver.com/green-economy/…
