Big disappointment, @WTO could not reach an agreement to beef up its 2022 agreement, something desparately needed to protect depleting fish stocks. check out this comment: oceana.org/press-releases/wo… @oceana @pewenvironment @UBCoceans @ubcSPPGA

Hey #FishTwitter! Looking to Fyne-d the owner of this acoustic receiver deployed in Loch Fyne (Scotland 🏴)
Got a local sailer who has found it ashore! Can anyone reach out if you know who it belongs to?

Great to meet filipino fishers working in DW #fisheries but a long way to go for fair pay & treatment. 2 years without port visits, no communication with home and 450-600$US a month despite many years of experience @ITFglobalunion with @StellaMarisOrg in Manila #justiceforfishers

"I cannot singlehandedly re-establish a balance that colonialism and history has knocked down, but in my field, the way I’ve chosen to re-establish some equilibrium, is to make information available on a global basis," said Daniel Pauly @SeaAroundUs

Thank you Switzerland 🇨🇭for ratifying the @wto deal to #StopFundingOverfishing!
They took a critical step to improve our ocean’s health, but we need ⅔ of them to ratify the agreement #WTOFishCount @swiss_un @pewenvironment

“It’s gut-wrenching to hear about another North Atlantic right whale death – this species cannot afford any more punches. Each death sets the species back and makes the road to recovery bleaker for the 340 remaining North Atlantic right whales.” -@Oceana's @GibBrogan
