Sign the Petition Stoppt die industrielle Grundschleppnetzfischerei in europΓ€ischen Meeresschutzgebieten!

Yet another bottom trawling petition.

But as long as this massacre continues we will fight to stop it.

Thanks @aspielvogel.bsky.social for setting it up!

It was HUGE.

Yet tiny in comparison to a real trawling net.
We deployed it at #UNOC3 #BlueMarch.
Then the police came and wanted to take it.
We sit on it.
They left.

Time to stop eating fish until the end of the year. We consume way more seafood than the seas can actually provide us with & continue #overfishing. Let’s give the ocean a break!

Over the past days I read many claims on the end of #globalisation, and on the #tariffs war being a chance for progressive agendas

I wonder what's the political economy backing up these claims. Sounds as if global #capitalism couldn't accommodate even high #tariffs.

As everyone talks about trade and tariffs: can we seize the opportunity to leave both neo-feudalist protectionism and globalised capitalism behind and embrace β€œopen re-localisation”? Great text by

πŸ“’New analysis
No EU country has comprehensive plans to phase out #BottomTrawling from #MPAs by 2030. This is in spite of EU nature laws & international biodiversity commitments that bind Member States to protect their #MPAs. 🐟

β€œCompetitiveness is part of the problem & not the solution. The growth paradigm has proven to be failure.

"Unsustainable fishing practices [..] like trawling [..] deplete fish stocks and destroy habitats."

Good to hear that this has landed with Charlina Vitcheva, director general at DG MARE. Let's implement the #MarineActionPlan and ban bottom trawling in MPAs!

I really appreciated @humbertodrosa.bsky.social's description of sustainability - not as a three-pillar concept, but as a layered concept (similar to a wedding cake 🍰). It reminded me of this graph, which I always found a much more helpful depiction of sustainability than the three-legged stool...
