#Bottomtrawling may deliver high catch figures, but it does so at the expense of access to affordable, nutritious #fish for coastal communities, particularly in regions where fish is a dietary cornerstone, said @drrashidsumaila.bsky.social @solvingfcb.org sustainabilityonline.net/research/ind...
📢 The @tbtcoalition.bsky.social has launched a report examining the relationship between industrial #BottomTrawling and food security, based on nine case studies across Africa, Asia, Latin America, Europe, Oceania, & North America.

The Government’s claim of protecting 40% of UK waters is a national scandal, as #bottomtrawling continues to devastate the seabed. Thank you for demanding real, effective action to save our marine life, Wera - not just hollow, paper-based protections.
Catches a fraction of historic levels.
Fish not growing to maturity.
Beloved species vanishing.
#BottomTrawling >45% of landings.
Habitat Destruction: #seagrass, #mangrove, reef.

A STATE OF THE ART research vessel has set sail from Liverpool to investigate how #bottomtrawling may affect #carbon stored in the #seabed of the Irish Sea. pembrokeshire-herald.com/134376/resea...
Nature NGOS are taking the Dutch government to court today, alleging that the administration has broken the law by allowing destructive #bottomtrawling practices in the protected North Sea area off the Dutch coast. oceanographicmagazine.com/news/ngos-ta...
NEWS: NGOs, including @clienteartheur.bsky.social and
@bluemarinef.bsky.social, are taking the Dutch government to court over #BottomTrawling in Dogger Bank #MarineProtectedArea, which goes against EU law.

Crustacean #fishing in the North Sea could be driving a "largely invisible" #climate cost by disturbing #carbon that has been buried in the #seabed for thousands of years, scientists have found. oceannews.com/news/science... #BottomTrawling
Environmentalists say they have groundbreaking “proof” of ancient and extensive #coral systems on the Lord Howe Rise #seafloor in the South Pacific where New Zealand vessels are dragging #bottomtrawling #fishing nets www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/lord-howe...
Together with @clienteartheur.bsky.social, we appeared before Spanish court to present more evidence of the impacts of #BottomTrawling in marine protected areas in Spain.
This is part of our legal action against the Government for allowing this type of fishing in zones where it should be forbidden.
🌊Marine protected areas aren’t always as “protected” as they sound.
Spain is still allowing destructive #BottomTrawling inside these sites, and that’s why we, together with @clienteartheur.bsky.social, are taking the Government to court.

Bottom trawling destroys marine nurseries for short-term gain, undermining long-term ocean productivity.

Deep-sea life in the Mediterranean doesn’t get a second chance.
We’re calling on @ec.europa.eu and the @fao.org to extend the #BottomTrawling ban to at least 800m and give these fragile ecosystems the protection they deserve. #DefendTheDeep
EU citizens expect #MarineProtectedAreas to be protected from destructive fishing.
Six months after NGOs filed a legal complaint, we urge @ec.europa.eu to enforce the law and Commissioner Kadis to end destructive #BottomTrawling in MPAs via the #EUOceanPact.

Seven large #Turkish trawlers were filmed in #Greek territorial waters conducting illegal #bottomtrawling under the protection of three Turkish Coast Guard vessels. greekcitytimes.com/2025/12/02/t...
Europeans want #MPAs to be protected from destructive fishing like #BottomTrawling. The @ec.europa.eu must listen to citizens & ensure the upcoming Ocean Act delivers real protection. The ocean deserves more than lines on a map.

If you don't really understand how horrendous bottom trawling our oceans is, do not miss David Attenborough's latest film: 'OCEAN'. Unforgettable footage, and yes also HOPE.
But many do not know what is going on, and it has to stop!!

Even as some Alaskans are banned from catching king #salmon, trawlers killed and tossed 39,000 last year — along with 4.5 million pounds of #halibut, 3 million pounds of #herring, and one killer #whale. What gives? www.outdoorlife.com/conservation... #bottomtrawling
The ocean floor is one of the largest natural carbon stores.
Yet, it remains vastly underprotected.
We have interviewed @profcallum.bsky.social, lead scientist on the Convex Seascape Survey, to explain how we can ensure oceans will thrive.

🌊 We’re taking action against #BottomTrawling in marine protected areas.
Last year, we joined forces with @clientearth.bsky.social to take Spain to court for failing to protect their seas, but still nothing has changed.

#BottomTrawling not only destroys habitats in MPAs, it also fuels the #ClimateCrisis by resuspending seabed carbon. Yet European governments still subsidise it.
Ahead of #COP30, it’s time to end this destructive practice.

Black and white woodcut print, the whole work entitled Ratapan Lautan (The Lament of the Sea). Swirling waters remind many viewers of Van Gogh, and pull together all the details described in the thread above.
This thought-provoking art raises weighty issues, but with joy in the making, the details, & the conversations that ensue. It's disturbing, but so beautiful!
What other aspects do you see?

Seahorse, pipefish, bellowsfish and a dolphin swim in a varied seascape amid diverse corals and sponges.
In the wake of the bottom trawl, the turbulent water is swirling with dead fish and broken fragments of coral, while the seabed has been scraped and flattened.
These are dwarfed by the huge scale of new threats. Life amid the 3-dimensionality of a thriving habitat contrasts with the flattened desert & devastated seabed after the passage of a bottom trawl.
