It’s not just west cork that sprat overfishing happens, Donegal bay will be next to see a collapse in stock (and then local marine mammal loss, which will be huge hit on tourism the same as west cork) this humpback was taken this week in Donegal bay, one of 7 in the bay at moment

Our response to the govt measures on sprat published Jul 22nd. We welcome the ban/quota on vessels >18m but are disappointed with no regulation on vessels <18m, despite them taking 7800 tonne of sprat in 2024. We need much more! Timmy Dooley Christopher O’Sullivan TD westcorksprat.net/save-our-sprat…

Our march, scheduled for Aug 13th in #Clonakilty is postponed while we digest the government measures on sprat from this week. Rest assured, we are not taking a step back, we will continue to campaign actively & aggressively for sprat, with colleagues nationwide. #Cork #westcork

We welcome these measures,they will help,but why no quota on boats <18m, despite them taking 46% of all sprat caught in 2024? The fishery is still open to huge overfishing & is data deficient? This keystone species deserves watertight protection. Timmy Dooley Micheál Martin

What would be so very wrong with all verges looking like this? It's not causing accidents or obstructing the view. It's just a verge full of colour & life, and it looks fantastic 😍

While welcoming the measures on helping sprat announced by Govt on Jul 2nd, we have many questions, & we want more done. See a list of queries sent to Christopher O’Sullivan TD & his colleagues in government. We continue to work to #SaveOurSprat. Micheál Martin westcorksprat.net/questions-for-…

"EPA expands fish kill investigation to further sites". Why are non-compliant businesses & repeat offenders allowed to continue to operate when breaches are known? EPA Ireland rte.ie/news/ireland/2…

Don’t let the EU tear down hard won nature protections The European Commission is quietly trying to dismantle the laws that safeguard nature They think we wouldn’t notice or care But we do Please take a moment to tell them to keep their #HandsOffNature swanireland.ie/take-action/ha…
