Overfishing . Not only the Mediterranean has been overfished. Most of the world oceans have been and is being overfished mainly by huge European fleets of purseiners . Island Nations in the Indian, Atlantic, Pacific Oceans also affected. Time for comprehensive global action.

From bycatch to habitat loss, dolphins are in danger—especially in the two-thirds of the world’s ocean, where no single country has authority. The high seas treaty can help safeguard the places these creatures call home. #WorldDolphinDay
