🌊 Heading next week to London for Seascape Symposium II hosted by @zslofficial.bsky.social
Denmark’s sea faces big pressures: trawling, extraction, eutrophication. Cod stocks collapsed, eelgrass greatly reduced.
I’ll talk about seascape restoration in Denmark.

The #environmental #implications of #deep-sea mining need to be comprehensively assessed.
#UNEP has produced a new #Deep #Sea #Mining Issues #Note that outlines key considerations we need to take into account.

🌊Nature #restoration is a beacon of hope for the #BalticSea! Facing challenges like eutrophication and biodiversity loss, require collaborative efforts and initiatives. And these need to be scaled up! Explore our restoration map to learn more: wwfbaltic.org/projects/

😡The Norwegian parliament voted by 80-20 in favour for commercial #DeepSeaMining while scientists warn mining could devastate marine life. While EU and UK have called for a temporary ban on deep-sea mining because of environmental concerns bitly.ws/39z9X

smoked eel sold on the Polish island Hel.
Time to break with traditions - at least when it comes to #eel. Eels are critically endangered and should not be caught, sold or eaten - not even for #Christmas lunch. Farmed eel is also not an alternative because farmed eel also comes from wild stock. #CFP

Conservation in fisheries must get better!

The Danish AgriFish newsletter particularly highlights quotas for the collapsed cod stock in the Kattegat & a continuation of the eel fisheries, a species that is critically endangered! no word about environmental sustainability...

Cod in Baltic Sea and a picture with text "the same procedure as last year?" from the "dinner for one" TV show that is shown on New Year's eve in many countries
Here we go again: a proud Danish minister who has negotiated fishing quotas above sustainable levels: "I am very satisfied with the overall result of the fishing kvota agreements [...] an important priority has been to ensure a sufficient bycatch quota for cod." #agrifish #CFP #

Wir sind so 🤞kurz davor, dass das EU-Nature-Restoration-Law Wirklichkeit wird: Am Mittwoch stimmt der Umweltausschuss des EU-Parlaments über den finalen Kompromiss ab.
Wir appellieren an alle MEP: Stimmen Sie dem Gesetz zu!

Today EC will agree on #Baltic fishing quotas.Far too long ministers had focus on "balance in relation to business" instead of securing robust fish stocks, that will secure fisheries in a long term.Fisheries measures such as compulsory electronic monitoring should be introduced to restore Baltic Sea
