We have clear 🇪🇺common priorities with Environmental Justice Foundation. In today’s meeting, I found a precious ally for zero tolerance in effectively fighting illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing and safeguarding the health of our ocean.

This shocking footage shows dead marine life dumped on the seabed all in an effort to supply the market for scampi. Lack of monitoring means discarding like this can continue without any effective oversight. UK supermarkets are branding scampi as “responsibly sourced” but failing to do anything to actually resolve this issue.

Challenging the assumption that more critical materials are necessary for a green transition, Martin Webeler of Environmental Justice Foundation stresses it is possible to reduce the mineral demand by 58% if we implement #CircularEconomy measures.

🚨#ProtectOurCatch partner action!🚨
Partners @ejfoundation and @DMA_ONG are taking the French government to court to ensure marine protected areas (MPAs) are truly protected from destructive fishing.
Over the last five years alone, bottom trawlers have conducted up to 1,000,000 hours of activity in French MPAs. That’s one million hours of destruction in areas that should be safe havens for marine life. Many MPAs in France still allow bottom trawlers to scrape seabeds, destroy ecosystems, and threaten the sustainability of Europe’s fisheries. From public mobilisation to legal challenges, we’re holding decision–makers accountable to safeguard our ocean for future generations.

Huge support to @ejfoundation & @DMA_ONG for launching legal action against French govt over bottom trawling in marine protected areas. 💪
200,000+ hours of trawling happened in French #MPAs last year. Horrendous. MPAs should be protected, not plundered!

Bottom trawling is responsible for over 90% of fishing discards in the EU — hundreds of thousands of tons of wasted catch that devastate marine ecosystems and economies alike.
Today, ocean advocates are uniting to demand action: It’s time for EU leaders to #ProtectOurCatch, support traditional fishers, and #BanBottomTrawling in marine protected areas (MPAs).
Every day this destructive practice continues in Europe’s MPAs is another day our leaders put local jobs, communities, marine life, and the future of the fishing industry at risk.

@EUCssrMcGrath was clear in his confirmation hearing about his commitment to swift implementation of the #CSDDD
Now @vonderleyen risks undoing that promise
We say #NoToOmnibus because corporate accountability isn’t optional—it’s essential for a just future
An Omnibus proposal to amend three key pillars of the European Green Deal, including the hard-won Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (#CSDDD), could undermine important progress.
Over 160 CSOs, trade unions, and activists say #NoToOmnibus:
