Sprat are the foundation of our coastal communities. We are calling for a moratorium on sprat fishing, immediately!! SAVE SPRAT, SAVE MARINE WILDLIFE, SAVE COASTAL COMMUNITIES! #westcork #cork #saveoursprat #castletownbere #clonakilty #Skibbereen Graphics by William Helps.

I'm in good company when it comes to recording a short video for Save Our Sprat West Cork - SOS -- thanks to fellow Welshman Iolo Williams for the support! #SaveOurSprat #MarineWildlife #MarineConservation #Overfishing #Ireland

Patience not packets

Golden eagles were reintroduced to Ireland, but without prey they’re now struggling to thrive "Reintroducing a species isn’t enough. The systems that sustain it also need to be restored." #RestoreNature share.google/J9wSPoeGBhLYXX…

Great clip Christopher O’Sullivan TD. So, if without Sprat "we wouldn't have a fishing industry", Pair Trawling is "completely unsustainable", and Ireland should be a "leader in Marine Conservation", WHY IS THIS #ECOCIDE STILL HAPPENING on your watch? #SaveOurSprat Save Our Sprat West Cork - SOS

Sobering, well written article, the one word missing inexplicably is "sheep", overgrazing in most of our uplands is largely down to unsustainablly high densities of sheep. Deer undoubtedly are a huge issue too, esp Killarney, Wicklow and Glenveagh

Good mtg w/Min 4 Nature Christopher O’Sullivan TD & National Parks and Wildlife Service & BirdWatch team. We presented him w/the 1st #BirdAtlas of UK & Ireland for period 1968-1972 BTO juliet vickery. We also asked him to designate our seabird IBAs as SPAs as per Art 4 of the Birds Dir.

Our sprat stocks are being overfished, and we can't tell how damaging that will be. Sprat are utterly invaluable; the future of our fish, whales, dolphins and seabirds depend on them. We need a formal stock take of sprat now - we cannot afford to lose this species.

Not very comfortable in front of the camera -- but Save Our Sprat West Cork - SOS and Save Our Sprat Bantry are fighting for something critical to the survival of not just our marine wildlife, but of the marine ecosystem the viability of our coastal communities depends on. Please follow and support!

Great candidate for our next President.

Ecologist and author of Pádraic Fogarty Padraic Fogarty shares his support for the #SaveourSprat campaign. We need to listen to scientists like Padraic before we go too far down a road we can't return from! #cork #westcork Timmy Dooley Christopher O’Sullivan TD #Ireland youtu.be/jUxi4LUrGOQ?si…

Great to see this bill being introduced by Jennifer Whitmore TD yesterday. Sprat are a key food source for much of our marine wildlife🐳🐬🦭 Yet it has been fished intensively without a quota or plan. A moratorium is needed to collect & process the data to support a sustainable quota.

Renowned producer & #westcork resident David Puttnam voicing his support for the #saveoursprat campaign. He calls the overfishing of sprat the 'tip of the iceberg' in the destructive, unsustainable fishing. #westcork #cork Cork Beo Timmy Dooley #ireland youtu.be/WHKJLiHEGRM?si…

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

Pure joy watching Sand Martins skimming insects off the water surface near Clonakilty in West Cork. Some of the most stunning wildlife spectacles are right on our doorstep.
