We’re concerned by overexploitation of blue🦈,the most heavily fished oceanic🦈, without limits or sustainable management. At this #WCPFC meeting, along with @WILDOCEANSSA and @oceana ,we call to develop limit reference points and begin developing management procedures for blue🦈

📣 During #UNGA78, we marched in the streets of NYC to demand for ocean and climate action now! #DeepSeaMining, #bottomtrawling and other human activities would exacerbate the #ClimateCrisis. ➡️ Hear from government ministers on why we need to #DefendTheDeep!🇨🇷🇵🇼🇫🇷

In the EU #BottomTrawling kills tonnes of #MarineLife as bycatch every year, 93.2% of EU discards. Removing these creatures🐡🐠🦐from the ocean compromises #OurOcean’s role in storing carbon, contributing to #ClimateChange. #BanBottomTrawling #EUActionPlan rb.gy/x4ax1
