New @EDGEofExistence Sharks & Rays list highlights the most evolutionarily distinct & globally endangered sharks & ray species. Unsurprisingly, flat sharks (particularly sawfishes, angel sharks & guitarfishes) feature heavily on the list. HT @SharkTrustUK bbc.com/news/science-environ…

”So we have not come here to beg the world leaders to care for our future. They have ignored us in the past and they will ignore us again.
We have come here to let them know that change is coming whether they like it or not.”

The lack of transparency around fisheries negociations facilitates poor decision making & overfishing. Mackerel has been overfished for a decade & as a result @ICES_ASC advised a 60% cut in landings to protect the stock. This has been ignored & a quota set 335035 t above advice

Time is running out to meet the 2020 deadline to #EndOverfishing. Dear @EUCouncil, @EU2018AT, @EU_MARE and Commissioner @KarmenuVella – don’t water down your promises #RespectTheLimit at next month's #AGRIFISH council

Plastic waste can poison, injure and kill marine life. We can reduce the amount of plastics in the ocean by first reducing our consumption of plastic products. #TurtleTuesday

EU fisheries Ministers & the EU Commission today decided that they would again ignore scientific advice, sanctioning overfishing & agreeing to remove the protection of catch limits for many deep-sea fish stocks. The disregard for the law, science & public opinion is staggering.

The EU has agreed on quotas for deep-sea stocks in the EU and international waters in the North-East Atlantic, for 2019 and 2020; a missed opportunity to hit overfishing targets, says @Pew_EU, @oceana @SeasAtRisk: ow.ly/a43h30mGmmb

Reminder that overfishing is a conscious choice, voted for enthusiastically by legislators representing EU citizens. Measures to #EndOverfishing in Med proposed by @EU_MARE & @KarmenuVella, being blocked by states & MEPs.
I regret @Europarl_EN vote substantially weakening our #Adriatic fisheries plan.
If #Mediterranean & #Adriatic is to ever give up title of most overfished sea in the world fao.org/documents/card/en/c/… we need a more long term, sustainable perspective, in the interest of our fishermen

What do #PortStateMeasures do? For one thing, they allow countries to deny entry to vessels engaged in #IUU fishing, sending the message that their ports don’t welcome illegal catch. pew.org/2IGKGTE #ICCAT
