It’s completely incomprehensible that one of the most destructive ways of fishing is permitted in Marine Protected Areas. What exactly are these areas protected from? Please contact @SteveReedMP to urge action on this crucial issue to protect & restore our seas. @OceanaUK

Our oceans cover more than 70% of the planet, yet only about 10% of them are currently protected. This leaves important ocean habitats and marine life at risk. Urge world leaders to deliver on their commitment to protect 30% of ocean habitat by 2030 today 👉 oceana.ly/48ImagU

🌿Studland Bay in Dorset, home to spiny & short-snouted seahorses, saw record numbers last year when a drop in visiting boats allowed the seagrass to recover. Now extreme weather threatens this precious habitat, along with the seahorses that rely on it. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c5ye…

REMINDER: The world already has far more oil and gas than can ever be safely burned if we are to limit warming. More North Sea drilling will do nothing to cut our energy bills, and make no meaningful difference to UK energy supply - but it will escalate climate harm.

Brilliant to see Andy Burnham recognising that privatisation and austerity have failed since the 1980s and that "Britain's water industry is run in the private rather than public interest" The answer is PUBLIC OWNERSHIP There will be no public control without ownership

This is horrendous. A totally new meaning to the word 'protected'.

🌊 This is the reality behind ‘protected’ UK seas Industrial bottom trawling bulldozing the seafloor & killing ocean wildlife We can’t protect nature while leaving it open to such destruction 🚫 ✊ Act now: bit.ly/oceanaukx 📢 Ban #BottomTrawling in MPAs

Andy Burnham needs to deliver public OWNERSHIP of the essentials 💧💡🚌🚄📮🏥 "Public control" won't do - it essentially just means more regulation With natural monopolies, we don’t have choice as consumers, so we need accountability as citizens theguardian.com/politics/202…

💔 Devastating numbers of whales, porpoises, seals, dolphins and seabirds are dying every year in British waters, according to a new report showing the true scale of bycatch in the UK. Our ocean deserves so, so much better. We need govt action! oceanographicmagazine.com/ne…

🌊 One petition. 17,000 voices already on board. Scotland’s seas can recover and together we can make it happen! Change is coming. Add your name! 👉 ourseasscotland.eaction.org.… @ourseas_scot

🌊 The race to protect 30% of our seas by 2030 is CRITICAL to a healthy planet & future. But it is utterly meaningless if those areas deemed to be 'protected', actually allow destructive activities, like bottom trawling, to take place within their boundaries. theconversation.com/the-worl…

"The ocean is part of everyday life - what’s in it, what’s taken from it, and how healthy it is all feeds back into communities on land. Even if you never see it, you’re still relying on it in some way.” We interviewed freediver, Kayleigh, on all things ocean. Read more! bit.ly/3SSjYRe

#BREAKING: President Trump signed a proclamation to allow commercial fishing in three marine national monuments in the Pacific Ocean, home to wildlife found nowhere else on the planet. This puts some of our most irreplaceable ocean ecosystems at risk for short-term gain.

A @We_OwnIt campaign move, getting DEFRA to accept a letter advising a move to public ownership for water and sewage. I'm here with @Feargal_Sharkey and the two stars of #DirtyBusiness, @ashsmith43 and @watervole3

🌊 Happy #WorldOceanDay to everyone except the UK Govt A year has rolled around, and we’ve yet to hear even a whisper of when the govt is going to properly protect our ocean havens from bottom trawling, after pledging to consider it LAST World Ocean Day. What's going on?! 😡 1/2

The problem with privatised water 💧 Around 90% of the world’s water is publicly owned - but England and Wales still run on a failed privatised system. For too long, water companies have been aloud to extract cash from a public necessity, all while putting profits before people and public health. The result? Polluted waterways, high bills and a system that isn’t working. It’s time to end this failed experiment and bring England’s water back into public hands. #publicownership #water #privatisation #sewage

🐟 Without healthy fish, UK seas can’t survive. Ocean advocate and vet, Cal Major, is backing @oceanauk, join her and demand the PM ends overfishing now 💙 bit.ly/4akboR9

"Water firm labelled 'worst-run company' after outages." So first it's going to be Thames Water that gets nationalised, then South East Water, who's next? bbc.co.uk/news/articles/ckgp…

David Attenborough has spent years sounding the alarm on factory trawling, and he’s right: bottom trawling is one of the most destructive practices in our oceans. Alaska needs leaders willing to stand up to the trawling lobby and protect our fisheries before it’s too late.

Really good news. Over the last 15 years the world gained more mangroves than it has lost, thanks to stronger legal protections following the 2004 tsunami which proved their importance in protecting coasts. Also vital for fish and in absorbing carbon. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cn4p…
