This latest research from Oceana UK shows the scale of damage happening now in our Marine Protected Areas 🌊 A ban on bottom trawling and dredging in all our marine protected areas is essential to restore and protect the UK’s marine ecosystems and safeguard coastal communities.

It’s completely incomprehensible that one of the most destructive ways of fishing is permitted in Marine Protected Areas. What exactly are these areas protected from? Please contact Steve Reed MP to urge action on this crucial issue to protect & restore our seas. Oceana UK

“In this victory, the court rejected a legal challenge from industrial fishing interests seeking to destroy crucial conservation measures in European MPAs [...] Bottom trawling has no place in any marine protected area.” Our campaign lead, Amy Hammond. 🙌 oceanographicmagazine.com/news/eu-court-…

Sea bass sold in UK supermarkets is fuelling food insecurity in Senegal! Senegal’s seas are being overfished to make fishmeal for farmed sea bass, which is then sold as "sustainable". We must end #overfishing — in the UK & everywhere. 🌍🐟 theguardian.com/environment/20…
