Damian is so correct about this long running, arrogant, deceitful, and unjust Post Office scandal. @EsopCentre @corpgro

Garden centres encapsulate our disconnect from biodiversity. All these powerful chemical to kill our most important pollinating flowers, insecticide and peat extracted from our bogs sold beside imported seed mixtures, bird feeders etc which are marketed to encourage 'wildlife'.

Pole and line fishing for free swimming school skipjack in the Maldives, absolutely zero bycatch, a great pleasure and privilege to be with these hard working fishermen.

A good place to start indeed, but to date FAO have kept a distance from the YFT/IOTC issue, I see no specific reference to this in this document and I am not at all optimistic that they will intervene. I hope I am wrong.
FAO launch new tuna fisheries project to ensure all major tuna stocks are fished sustainably by 2027. The IOTC was established within the framework of the FAO. Indian Ocean yellowfin is overfished with overfishing occurring. A good place to start? https://t.co/yxlCaivIV3

When a marine biologist on the frontline of the climate crisis tells you coral reefs can't survive & neither can her native land unless world leaders at #COP27 reduce emissions, you stop & pay attention. Nekton met @AyaNaseem on our mission to the Maldives - her message is stark

We also asked about the following specific issues: ➡️Shark Finning ➡️Ghost gear and plastic pollution ➡️Climate change ➡️Human and labour rights ➡️Endangered, threatened, and protected species The MSC was viewed to have made unsatisfactory progress on ALL these issues. 📉

Less than a week to go before @OnTheHookMSC's external review into @MSCecolabel closes! Please respond using the link below👇 https://t.co/1xHHus7B6D
marinestewardshipreview.org
In August 2017, On The Hook was launched to address growing concerns amongst many conservationists, academics, retail and industry, and other ocean advocates that the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC)…
2/3 of the 🌏’s fish stocks are at their limit or over fished. Tools such as @MSCecolabel are critical, but they are failing in their current form. 🆘 We support @OnTheHookMSC’s external review of MSC as an effort to drive real change.📑 Respond here👇 https://t.co/u2FDswS9M7

Over 17000 Maldivian #fishermen depend directly on the #ocean 🌊 and its resources 🐟 for livelihood 🎣 On this #WOD, we call for #sustainable use of the oceans, stop all destructive fishing practices, clean up our oceans & educate children on the beauty of life below water.

Clear evidence that the EU fishing fleet is taking food from the mouths of some of the most vulnerable people on earth. Unacceptable.

Evidence suggests the bloc’s fleets have been fishing without permission — and it’s time they stop.
