We have a vision for the future of fisheries, but I have a #badhairday 😅

Sign the Petition Stoppt die industrielle Grundschleppnetzfischerei in europäischen Meeresschutzgebieten!

Yet another bottom trawling petition.

But as long as this massacre continues we will fight to stop it.

Thanks @aspielvogel.bsky.social for setting it up!

Making waves at #UNOC with the best crew in town 🌊💙 When we say #ProtectedMeansProtected, we really mean don’t touch our bottom. @seasatrisk.bsky.social sailing strong for the ocean! 🐠🚫⛴️ #DefendTheDeep @tobiastroll.bsky.social @remico.bsky.social

It was HUGE.

Yet tiny in comparison to a real trawling net.
We deployed it at #UNOC3 #BlueMarch.
Then the police came and wanted to take it.
We sit on it.
They left.

See you at #UNOC in Nice!

Investigation exposes the ‘sprawling empire’ of 5 Dutch fishing giants Environmental campaigners say that governments have allowed a few supermajors to take “tentacular” ownership of the seas.

How the 5 biggest Dutch fishing companies dominate the European sector and destroy marine environment, coastal and artisanal fishers across the globe ⬇️

Time to stop eating fish until the end of the year. We consume way more seafood than the seas can actually provide us with & continue #overfishing. Let’s give the ocean a break!

🧨 New study: #DeepSeaMining isn’t the treasure chest it claims to be. Turns out, it’s more like burning cash at the bottom of the ocean for metals we don’t even need. 💸🌊Nature’s verdict: high risk, low reward, bad idea.
#DefendTheDeep #KeepItInTheSeabed

Over the past days I read many claims on the end of #globalisation, and on the #tariffs war being a chance for progressive agendas

I wonder what's the political economy backing up these claims. Sounds as if global #capitalism couldn't accommodate even high #tariffs.

As everyone talks about trade and tariffs: can we seize the opportunity to leave both neo-feudalist protectionism and globalised capitalism behind and embrace “open re-localisation”? Great text by

Feels pretty satisfying on a day like this that all my spare money is on a savings book with Triodos. Let the stock markets and financial capitalism collapse #panicmonday

Work with me to organise the Blue March at UNOC in Nice on 8 June!

📢New analysis
No EU country has comprehensive plans to phase out #BottomTrawling from #MPAs by 2030. This is in spite of EU nature laws & international biodiversity commitments that bind Member States to protect their #MPAs. 🐟

A new @EU_Commission report confirms we're failing #OurOcean. 🌊
Implementation of the EU's overarching tool to achieve healthy seas (the #MSFD) is failing miserably & needs to be a top priority of the #OceansPact.

#BlueManifesto @tobiastroll.bsky.social

“Competitiveness is part of the problem & not the solution. The growth paradigm has proven to be failure. We need to move to a regenerative wellbeing blue economy that serves both ocean & people.” Monica Verbeek from @seasatrisk.bsky.social gets to the core of the problem at EC's #OceanPact dialogue

"Unsustainable fishing practices [..] like trawling [..] deplete fish stocks and destroy habitats."

Good to hear that this has landed with Charlina Vitcheva, director general at DG MARE. Let's implement the #MarineActionPlan and ban bottom trawling in MPAs!

I really appreciated @humbertodrosa.bsky.social's description of sustainability - not as a three-pillar concept, but as a layered concept (similar to a wedding cake 🍰). It reminded me of this graph, which I always found a much more helpful depiction of sustainability than the three-legged stool...

Two minutes into this important event on the European Ocean Pact, Geneviève Pons quotes @seasatrisk.bsky.social director Monica Verbeek: “we need a holistic ocean policy”.

The Ocean Pact must be holistic & deliver on the just transition to a regenerative blue economy, based on the #BlueManisto!
