#Ocean Would you like bottom trawling to be banned? 🔷Bottom trawling releases millions of tonnes of CO₂ annually—more than global aviation emissions. 🔷Corals, sponges & seagrass beds hundreds of years old are trashed 🔷75% of bottom trawl catch can be thrown away👇

#Ocean Does anyone think our commercial fishing practices are sustainable? Fundamental change is inevitable, and like the cop says, we can do it the easy or hard way. It can start now, phased in sensibly, or a bit later, by catastrophic collapse. Our stark choice.

#Ocean A baby Leatherback turtle, full of hope for the future. We'll steal her eggs, feed her plastic bags, drown her in fishing nets, smash her body with vessel strikes, build on her nest sites, & heat the world so sex ratios are skewed & embryos die. Good luck, little one.
