The Government must follow the science on quotas, ban industrial fishing in marine protected areas, and put small-scale fishers, coastal communities, and ocean health before corporate profits.

Our oceans and the future of our fishing communities depends on it.

BREAKING: Brexit has done nothing to stop the sharp decline in UK fish populations.

Politicians have consistently set catch limits too high and allowed international trawlers to plunder our seas.

So much for putting our coastal communities first.

It's Prime Day so here's your regular reminder that:

GOOD NEWS: Renewable energy supplied OVER HALF of the EU's electricity for the first time.

Denmark had a whopping 94% of their electricity coming from renewables in Q2.

This is PROOF: renewables are the future!

Last year, we were lucky enough to welcome Dr Jane Goodall to the Greenpeace stage at Glastonbury, where she shared this beautiful message of HOPE in tough times.

Rest in peace, Jane. Thank you so much for all the hope you gave to us all. 💚💚

We’re heartbroken to learn that Dr Jane Goodall has passed away, aged 91.

Dr Goodall was one of the true conservation giants of our time. Let’s honour her legacy by choosing to make a difference in the world - by protecting it.

Thank you, Jane, for everything you did for our planet. 💚

"What you do makes a difference, and you have to decide what kind of a difference you want to make" - Jane Goodall

Greenpeace is deeply alarmed by reports that vessels in the Global Sumud Flotilla have come under attack by drones in international waters.

This attempt to intimidate and endanger civilians is unacceptable and unlawful.

Ultimately, we all want the same thing: cheaper electricity that doesn’t pollute our air or damage the health of our children and communities.

Renewable energy, like wind and solar, can offer that.

The system is rigged. Private gas companies set the price of our electricity, keeping costs high to line their own pockets.

They’re ripping us off, while our bills go up, our pubs close down and our high streets hang on by a thread.
