La protección estricta del mar debe ser una prioridad para España, ya que es la forma más efectiva para garantizar la conservación del océano ante el cambio climático.

Pedimos a la ministra @saraaagesen.bsky.social y a @miteco.gob.es que la prioricen de cara a #UNOC3:

Illegal fishing is a profitable business. Its perpetrators often hide their identity behind tax havens & shell companies.

Without transparency, it's very hard to stop it. An EU public register of vessel owners is key to fight #IllegalFishing!

Deliberately increasing the power of fishing boat engines is a widespread problem in Europe.

The fishers of Palamós (Spain) took the decision to limit it to be more efficient, to guarantee fishing and to allow the regeneration of the ocean.

This is how they did it ⤵️

Investigation from @ftm.eu highlights how EU fishing companies are plundering Senegalese waters while siphoning off the profits, causing serious consequences for local communities such as job loss and forced migration. Both Senegalese authorities and the EU have a shared responsibility to act on it.
European companies are plundering Senegal’s seas and funnelling the profits away: at least 1 in 5 vessels under Senegal’s flag is owned by European firms. Yet the EU is blaming Senegal for poor oversight of illegal fishing – while European companies keep reaping the benefits.

🌊 Strengthening transparency on beneficial ownership of fishing vessels is key to stopping #IllegalFishing and protecting marine life.

The EU must reveal the true European owners of vessels fishing abroad.

Learn more about why this matters! ⤵️

We need transparency on EU owned vessels fishing outside its waters. This includes those catching tuna in the Indian Ocean, in countries that do not control enough their fleet.

“Fighting illegal fishing requires the EU to act against those who benefit from it” says @vanyalovesfish.bsky.social ⬇️
Europeans love tuna, but in the Indian Ocean, where European ships haul in tons, some stocks are overfished. Coastal nations are sounding the alarm, pushing for fairer fishing rules. But they’re hitting a wall in Brussels, where economic interests come first, even far beyond its own waters.
