Protect our Ocean

The High Seas Treaty provides for common international governance of marine life in the High Seas, comprising two thirds of the world’s ocean. Currently, only 1% of the high seas are protected.

The vast expanse of the high seas is facing unprecedented threats. Overfishing, pollution, and climate change are pushing marine ecosystems to the brink. But there’s hope.

Monster fishing vessels are hoovering up whole #ecosystems in #UK waters that are supposed to be protected. I just signed a #petition calling on the new government to #SaveOurOceans from destructive fishing, by banning supertrawlers in UK Marine Protected Areas. Will you join me? https://act.gp/47MTYKR #SaveOurSeas #SaveOurFood #SaveOurPlanet #ClimateCrisis #ClimateEmergency #ClimateEmergencyIsNow

It was confirmed yesterday that Hvalur hf will not hunt fin whales this summer

According to Kristján Loftsson, it’s because of the situation with the Japanese markets (no buyers) as well as the tariff race which is not improving the situation.

We celebrate these news and are happy to know that fin whales will not be hunted in Iceland for the second year in a row

This is a battle we cannot afford to lose. If we allow this to happen, we may never be able to undo the damage. The #ocean has been taken for granted for too long, but we can still act, now.

Thanks to a legal #loophole in #USLaw, deep-sea mining in international waters has just become one step closer to reality, and the consequences for #MarineEcosystems could be catastrophic.
