Sandeels vs the EU: how the puffin’s favourite food sparked first post-Brexit courtroom trade battle This week the EU will argue the UK’s ban on catching the tiny fish, celebrated by conservationists, amounts to discrimination against Danish fishers

An epic battle starts today in court over future of seabirds in North Sea

The UK wants to stop sandeel fishing and protect the marine food chain

The EU wants to keep fishing to feed pork production

There's lots of politics, as well as puffin lives, at stake

Ben Goldsborough MP for South Norfolk standing on the bank of the Rockland Marshes

Fantastic visit to @rspb.bsky.social Rockland Marshes!

I joined Tim and Daniel, where we talked about the challenges of climate change with water management in the Yare Valley and the threat of diseases to both wild bird and kept bird populations.

Sewage spills into Norfolk Broads river for nine days An overflow spills sewage into a Broads river following consistent wet weather.

Horning is one of the jewels in the crown of the Broads National Park. Quite unbelievable that pollution has been flowing into the river for a full nine days. We can’t restore nature with a water system that works like this. #nature #riverpollution www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
