Tomorrow the @EUCouncil will adopt a set of conclusions on international ocean governance and #DeepSeaMining.

Their decisions will shape the future of the #DeepSea.

EU Member States must stand against #DeepSeaMining to protect the world’s last true wilderness from harm. ImageImage
We welcome @EUCouncil steps to support stronger regulations, higher environmental standards & a precautionary principle on potential future #DeepSeaMining.

But more ambitious targets & proper commitments are needed to #DefendTheDeep from those who want to destroy it for profit. Image
Surprisingly, the same @EUCouncil called for a more ambitious position on #DeepSeaMining in 2020.

Yet now #EU Member States want to cut back on ambition just as #COP15 talks on new global #biodiversity targets are underway.

This must not happen.

🇪🇸 has now criticised the @EUCouncil’s failure to align on a more ambitious position against #DeepSeaMining, particularly in fora like @ISBAHQ.

🇪🇸 wants to see an international halt on #DeepSeaMining until its effects on ocean ecosystems are fully known.

Other EU member states must join Spain by publicly denouncing #DeepSeaMining to help #ProtectOurOcean.

This is a golden opportunity to stop the destructive exploitation of our ocean before it begins.

We cannot afford to miss it.

BREAKING 🎣🚨

Our investigations have found the 🇨🇳 fishing fleet is responsible for systemic illegal fishing & human rights abuses in the Southwest Indian Ocean (SWIO).

These findings undercut China’s claims of supporting sustainable development in the region.
China’s distant water fleet (DWF) is the largest in the world, and has a growing reputation for perpetuating human rights and environmental abuses.

Our report is the first of its kind to investigate China’s DWF in the SWIO.

Read it here ⬇️
ejfoundation.org/reports/tide-o…
Of the 44 fishers we interviewed who worked on board China’s SWIO tuna fleet,
➡️ 55% reported physical violence
➡️ 80% reported shark finning
➡️ 96% reported excessive overtime
➡️ 100% reported abusive working & living conditions Fishing vessel flying China's flag.

A new @PolicyPECH study on 🇨🇳's 🎣 fleet reviews its global operations, notably in 🇸🇳🇲🇷🇲🇬🇲🇺🇪🇨🇸🇧, and the challenges it poses to competing 🇪🇺 fleets.

The study sets the tone for a forthcoming @Europarl_EN report on the impacts of 🇨🇳's fleet on 🇪🇺🎣.
europarl.europa.eu/RegData/etudes…
.@PolicyPECH highlights that 🇨🇳's fleet - the world's biggest - operates globally and drives #overfishing, environmental destruction & human rights abuse.

The fleet profits unfairly from illegality, a lack of transparency & data gaps as our report shows:
ejfoundation.org/reports/the-ev…
.@PolicyPech reports that the 🇪🇺 can encourage 🇨🇳 towards regulating its fleet.

But this is possible only if the 🇪🇺@EU_Mare can lead by example and be credible when it promotes #transparency.
