I’ve just finished packing my bags for Brussels - we’ve got briefings, banners, superhero costumes, and a petition to handover to the EU Commissioner for Oceans and the Environment, Virginijus Sinkevičius. The petition contains almost 500,000 signatures (including yours!) demanding an end to destructive overfishing. Thanks so much for supporting the campaign!
There’s a critical decision being made next week where politicians will set the fishing limits for next year. We desperately need them to listen to scientific advice, before it’s too late.
I’ve heard that the fishing lobby are pushing really hard to keep their dangerously high fishing limits, even if it means making the nature and climate crisis worse for all of us.
SHARE ON FACEBOOK!
This petition could make a big difference, by showing the strength of support for sustainable fisheries and healthy oceans from people across Europe.
Can you help strengthen the petition even more by getting a few of your friends and family to sign? You can share on facebook by clicking on the button, or if you prefer email we’ve provided a template one below which you can send to friends!
Thanks so much for standing with us for healthy oceans!
Rebecca, Dave and the Our Fish team.
