Indeed, part of considering the role of #FishersoftheFuture requires addressing the elephant in the room: adopting low-impact fishing methods and transitioning towards more responsible practices. I envision a future where harmful #bottomtrawling methods are not used by fishers.
¡Y el señor Tabash no se le va c*** al gobierno por la pesca de arrastre en medio programa! ¡Mis respetos!
¡Cada vez más gente vocaliza su enorme descontento con esta patética, inútil y corrupta administración! #PescaArrastre #BottomTrawling #CostaRica #Zoodrigo
#BeyondGrowth2023 - Food Policy
Pr @JeroenCandel shared this grath to on the path to a #SustainableFoodSystem
- dismantle unsustainable practicies
- scale up sustainable ones
For fisheries #bottomtrawling is the most destructive practice: learn more ⬇️⬇️

I tell you what, #bottomtrawling industry in the North Sea:
Every summer we clean our beaches, like, completely free of plastic #marinelitter .
Then every spring they are full of fresh #dollyrope again. And our seabirds get entangled.
This is simply not acceptable. How dare you?
Happening now: Philanthropist Dona Bertarelli congratulates #Greece for being the first EU country to ban #bottomtrawling within #MPAs on stage at

We compare the impact of #BottomTrawling to other forms of food production. The concerns can be significantly mitigated when existing technical gear and management measures are adopted by industry and regulatory bodies and the race-to-fish eliminated. academic.oup.com/icesjms/advanc…

We presently allow over 90% of our #MarineProtectedArea seabeds to be bulldozed by industrial fishery practices 🤬

Denmark also wants to keep #bottomtrawling in #MPAs , and even complains about the #UK 's decision to grant actual protection to #DoggerBank . Does it really take a Member State leaving the EU to actually give protection to #Natura2000 areas? #dkpol #AGRIFISH #RestoreNature
In the EU #BottomTrawling is responsible for 93.2% of EU marine life discards. Removing these creatures from the ocean compromises #OurOcean ’s role in storing carbon, contributing to #ClimateChange . #BanBottomTrawling #EUActionPlan

📢 Calling everyone attending the World Fisheries Congress next week! 📢
Come and meet the global movement working to address the harm caused by #bottomtrawling and restore our oceans 🌊
Details here ⬇️
World Fisheries Congress #WFC2024
A sea pen coral on #pihabeach for #WorldFisheriesDay highlights how #bottomtrawling threatens #deepsea life. NZ is the only country still bottom trawling in the Sth Pacific. Last year trawlers pulled up 6 tonnes+ of corals. Time for a ban!
with our friends @deepseaconserve
Ahead of next week’s General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean meeting, we are urging #Mediterranean countries to protect the unique coral reefs 🪸 at Cabliers Bank by creating a #FisheriesRestrictedArea to safeguard these unique ecosystems from #BottomTrawling .

🔥 New Environmental Justice Foundation report on uncovers scale & devastating effects of illegal #bottomtrawling in 🇹🇳.
Evidence suggests much of the catch reaches 🇪🇺, where import controls on potentially illegal catches, including in 🇮🇹, are reportedly weak.
🇪🇺 #IUU 🎣 policy shouldn't = a 🧀
Minister Charlie McConalogue says 🇮🇪 'fully supports' fisheries management measures to reach environmental objectives, BUT does not support a blanket ban on #bottomtrawling in #MPAs . It's worth noting that 10 years after #CFP reform, VERY FEW such measures have been adopted... #AGRIFISH
.Amanda Vincent candidly calls out #bottomtrawling as having no place within #MPAs referencing #GBF and IUCN Protected Areas categories as existing tools to be implemented to address this IMPAC5 Project Seahorse Transform Bottom Trawling Coalition
🌊 #MarineProtectedAreas should not simply be an area drawn on a map, but should have measures in place to protect #MarineLife & ecosystems🐳🌱🦑from destructive human activities like #BottomTrawling .🌪️
