📣 On 17 Sept we call MEPs to vote to implement the Common Fisheries Policy, not reopen it. Reject the Joint Motion Resolution! Europe’s fisheries need effective implementation of the rules already in place, not a step backwards.🎣Find out what’s at stake: seas-at-risk.org/publication…

🌊 The #NorthSea is already under intense pressure. As offshore wind farms expand, #MultiUse must reduce cumulative impacts, not add to them. It should work within ecological limits, support nature recovery and be guided by precaution. 👉 seas-at-risk.org/general-new… #OffshoreWind

Experts from around the world highlight shared fisheries challenges, from overfishing to monitoring gaps. A consistent message emerges: sustainable fisheries depend not only on strong policies, but on how effectively they are implemented and enforced. ➡️europe.oceana.org/reports/in…

We had a valuable exchange with Commissioner @CostasKadis. Several priorities from our Vision for fair, low-impact fisheries were reflected in the discussion. We look forward to seeing these ambitions integrated in the Commission's #Vision2040 proposal. 🐟 #RethinkFisheries

Constructive dialogue with NGOs representing fishers, consumers, and environmental groups to discuss the future of EU fisheries and aquaculture. Many of their goals for #Vision2040 align with ours: healthy oceans, thriving coastal communities, and fair access to resources. We’re working to rebuild fish stocks while supporting small-scale fishers, shift to low-trophic aquaculture like seaweed, and improve animal welfare standards. We’re also empowering consumers with better labelling and traceability. Grateful to the NGOs for their invaluable input as we shape policies that work for people, the planet, and the future of our seas. 🌊

🌊 One year after NGOs' complaint, the @EU_Commission still hasn't acted on #BottomTrawling in #MarineProtectedAreas. ⚖️ Courts are increasingly clear: protected areas must be genuinely protected. @CostasKadis, #ProtectedMeansProtected! seas-at-risk.org/general-new… #EUBiodiversity

📢New study reveals that #BottomTrawling catches ~3000 species, incl threatened ones.🐡Yet it continues in #MPAs. @CostasKadis, this must end. #MPAs are meant to safeguard marine species, —#BottomTrawling does the exact opposite. #ProtectedMeansProtected 🐟news.mongabay.com/short-arti…
