Bottom trawling's seabed devastation revealed. Protect our oceans! #oceandevastation #bottomtrawling #saveourseas
Africa: From Villain to Vanguard - How the Shipping Industry Could Help Save Our Seas: [IPS] Nice, France -- Once cast as a culprit of ocean degradation, the global shipping industry is quietly reshaping its image--with experts now betting on it as a key ally in saving our seas. http://newsfeed.facilit8.network/TLKcRB #ShippingIndustry #OceanConservation #SaveOurSeas #Sustainability #MarineHealth
The #SeaEagle is back, patrolling its waters and cleaning up what the (illegal) #fishing industry leaves behind, but we can't save the Med alone.
Help us turn the tide.
Here's what you can do:
- Go plastic-free
- Choose natural materials when buying new clothes
- Eat plant-based
- Wear the Change
- And Support our Campaigns
It's not too late. But we must act now!

From #CoralReefs to coastal #mangroves, marine life rebounds when we ease the pressure. Less noise. Less #pollution. More protection. A healthier ocean is within reach - if we choose it.
Here’s what can happen if we reimagine the future of the #ocean, where it’s full of life. Can you see it?

@adapalmer that’s great news! #SaveOurSeas #SoSSaturdays
Monster fishing
vessels are hoovering up whole #ecosystems in #UK
waters
that are supposed to be protected.
I just signed a #petition calling on the new government to #SaveOurOceans from destructive fishing, by banning supertrawlers in UK Marine Protected Areas. Will you join me? https://act.gp/47MTYKR #SaveOurSeas #SaveOurFood #SaveOurPlanet #ClimateCrisis #ClimateEmergency #ClimateEmergencyIsNow
This isn’t progress, don't be fooled. It’s a huge step backwards.
One of Galicia's traditional dishes is octopus, and with their population decreasing due to overfishing, this is the only solution they came up with. Remember that if there isn't demand, there won't be any market.

It was confirmed yesterday that Hvalur hf will not hunt fin whales this summer
According to Kristján Loftsson, it’s because of the situation with the Japanese markets (no buyers) as well as the tariff race which is not improving the situation.
We celebrate these news and are happy to know that fin whales will not be hunted in Iceland for the second year in a row

The image shows a suspended whale model in a museum corridor, accented by blue duotones. It aims to indicate the ocean's essence, supporting marine life awareness. The blend of architecture and color fosters a serene, reflective atmosphere.

This is a battle we cannot afford to lose. If we allow this to happen, we may never be able to undo the damage. The #ocean has been taken for granted for too long, but we can still act, now.
Thanks to a legal #loophole in #USLaw, deep-sea mining in international waters has just become one step closer to reality, and the consequences for #MarineEcosystems could be catastrophic.
A new #GreenpeaceUK investigation exposed a brutal reality: since #Brexit, giant #SuperTrawlers have spent 37,000 hours fishing inside the #UK ’s Marine Protected Areas (MPAs). That’s the equivalent of 4 years and 3 months killing every single hour a day. Destroying #habitats and wiping out #fish populations, all while the UK government does nothing to stop them.

A new #FactoryFarming nightmare is unfolding—#seafood giant #GrupoProfand just got the green light to experiment on baby octopuses in #Spain.
Their goal? Cracking the code on captive breeding to pave the way for the world’s first #OctopusFarm.
This new lab will experiment on baby #octopuses by manipulating their larval development—a critical hurdle that has prevented octopus farming from scaling up.

The Caspian Sea faces an ecological and economic crisis, as rapidly falling water levels threaten marine life, vital industries, and regional climate stability, demanding urgent international action to avoid an Aral Sea-like collapse https://timesca.com/caspian-sea-shrinking-faster-than-expected-risking-aral-sea-like-disaster/ #CaspianSea #EcologicalCrisis #MarineConservation #WaterConservation #SaveOurSeas #Eurasia #CentralAsia
@mongabay Excellent article on the lack of protection in some 'Marine Protected Areas'.
