Propuesta de zonificación del Parque Nacional de Cabrera
As a public consultation ends today for a new management plan for Cabrera National Park, Oceana urges the Balearic Government to avoid further delay to preserve its rich sealife.

EU ocean diplomacy should be a race to the top, highlights
@verampcoelho.bsky.social at #EUOceanDays:
✔️Same social and environmental standards for EU fleets and fish imports
✔️Strong partnerships with coastal states outside the EU
✔️More fisheries transparency to prevent illegal fishing
Today we took our message straight to the EU quarter on two wheels. 🚴
As the #EUBlueEnergyTransition in fisheries & aquaculture conference took place, our banners called for keeping the #CommonFisheriesPolicy strong and not reopening it under the pretext of “energy transition”.
🌊Marine protected areas aren’t always as “protected” as they sound.
Spain is still allowing destructive #BottomTrawling inside these sites, and that’s why we, together with @clienteartheur.bsky.social, are taking the Government to court.

📢 We have a new blog entry, where we analyse why the National Park of #Cabrera is losing #marine #biodiversity, instead of safeguarding it: europe.oceana.org/blog/cabrera...
Here goes a new video explaining the legal actions we have initiated against bottom trawling #fishing in Spanish marine projected areas of the #N2000 network.

Mañana hemos organizado un seminario online para hablar de los espacios marinos protegidos en España 🌊
Agenda y registro en el siguiente enlace:

Mediterranean deep-sea ecosystems shelter unique species, yet a single trawl pass can wipe them out in seconds.
The General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean & the EU must extend deep-sea protection & end destructive fishing over these vulnerable habitats. #DefendTheDeep 🌊
Pasar de 0,1 a 10% de protección estricta #marina es un gran reto, pero entre todas podemos lograrlo, escuchando a la ciencia e involucrando a los sectores de la #economíaazul 🌊
Our Policy Advisor @michael-ocean.bsky.social
presents Oceana’s work on marine protected areas in Europe at the #SeaWilding Conference in Barcelona. The event brings together marine scientists, conservation experts, and advocacy organisations to share knowledge and strengthen ocean protection.
Celebramos la creación de estas nuevas áreas #marinas protegidas 🌊 España avanza hacia el objetivo de proteger 30% de su superficie marina para 2030, pero...: oceanographicmagazine.com/news/conserv...
We bid farewell to Jane Goodall, who taught us that science and care for wildlife must go hand in hand.
From land forests to ocean forests, her profound message defending the complex tapestry of life below the surface will continue to resonate with us:
🐟 Today is the International Day of Awareness of Food Loss and Waste.
Despite the EU ban, millions of tonnes of fish — much of it edible — are still discarded at sea every year.
Stop food loss at sea.
#FLWDay
🇸🇳 In Senegal, fishing sustains communities and drives the economy. But today, local nets are coming back empty.
European fleets exploit their seas, while profits can flow back to Europe, leaving Senegalese fishers no other option but to migrate.

During the #OceanCitizen expedition with the Ranger, ROV surveys off SW Tenerife 🇮🇨 found Caulerpa prolifera at 25–83 m — the 1st record at such depths in the Canary Islands.
As ocean temperatures rise, this seaweed may be shifting deeper, a sign of #ClimateChange impacts.⤵️

"Las proyecciones apuntan a una posible reducción de los stocks pesqueros de entre un 30% y un 40% en los escenarios más pesimistas, lo que supondría un duro golpe para la seguridad alimentaria y la economía"

10 medidas y ninguna mención al medio que regula el clima, el océano.
Acaba el evento sobre el #pactodeestado frente a la emergencia climática, con la ausencia de cualquier mención al #océano. No se puede luchar contra los impactos del #cambioclimático sin tener en cuenta el medio que regula el clima y de la cual depende nuestra economía.

The blue dragon, a pelagic sea slug that feeds on hydrozoans like the Portuguese man o'war, is washing up upon Spanish beaches in record numbers.
As the Mediterranean warms at record pace, climate change is pushing exotic species north:

With years of delay, the Spanish government finally declares the Special Area of Conservation of Columbretes off the Valencian coast and approves the corresponding management plan.
The result is disappointing:
