Kudos #Waitrose. Always great to see the industry, in this case the sourcing/retail sector, taking action to safeguard and promote #fisheries #sustainability and against #IUUfishing. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
📢BREAKING: IMO #CapeTownAgreement on #FishingVesselSafety enters into force in 12 months!
Fishers on vessels 24+ metres will finally get protections long enjoyed across shipping.
🙌Shoutout to Courtney Farthing & Vivien Deloge without whom it would not have happened. #IUU

🆕 We surveyed 47 Cypriot fishers, and their message is clear: fish stocks are declining, and EU rules enforcement remains weak.
📊96% say national action is not enough.
As the EU evaluates the #CommonFisheriesPolicy in 2026, their voices must be heard.

My delicious #squid ice cream cone has better regulations, labour standards and #traceability than most squid fisheries.🦑🍦

📢 #Pew releases landmark study on #plastics.
"Plastics promised convenience, but they’ve become a growing threat to people and the planet.
There’s still time to act. Our new report shows the way. 👇 pewtrsts.org/4otp7cA "
#BreakingthePlasticWave
#ASEAN maritime cooperation forum (MANIS) "could enable collaborative activities such as regular maritime patrols, joint military exercises and coordinated responses to threats like #illegalfishing and human #trafficking." Because #IUU is not just about fishing.

🌊Here's a quick recap of what happened at the 2025 annual meeting of the International Commission for the Conservation of the Atlantic #Tunas ( #ICCAT ) which wrapped up earlier in the week. Bonus points for spotting the glitch in the #matrix 🫣

📢Fisheries Import Control Handbook launch!
With 1 in 5 fish caught globally coming from #IUUfishing and with #RFMOs making piecemeal progress on catch documentation schemes, its time for more market state action. Here's how👇

Inter-agency coordination and use of technology are considered best practices in fighting #IUUfishing and the authorities seem right to have identified some key issues:
👩⚖️Law review, strong legal framework and implementation
🚨Enforcement activities
🛰️Vessel tracking ( #VMS & AIS ) and traceability.
I won't get tired saying this👉 #IUUfishing is not just about #fish. Its a convergence crime where other illicit activities, #HumanRights and labour abuses take place. In #SriLanka 's case its drug trafficking. Some good steps are being taken by the authorities. 1/2

Agree with #WWF's reaction to #EuropeanParliament's corporate due diligence vote. The scope limitation means even fewer companies will be addressing #humanrights & environmental abuses in their value chains. Sad #EPP has led the far right dictate the agenda. #IUU

Our new report shows many EU Member States consistently failing to inspect 5% of direct landings by non-EU fishing vessels (a legal obligation) & a rather blasé,to put it mildly, attitude on high risk imports.

Another @ec.europa.eu DG MARE mission, another round of official statements. Next month marks 8 years (!) since #Vietnam was yellow carded (warned) by the EU over failings to address #IUUfishing. Despite progress,persistent challenges remain,mainly over enforcement.

The charges come almost 7 years since the joint press release by the Spanish Civil Guard and #Europol was issued on #Tarantelo. #IUUfishing

Today marks a monumental occasion as the @wto.org Agreement on #FisheriesSubsidies has entered into force!
Alas more work needs to be done to finalise the #overfishing chapter otherwise the whole agreement might be jeopardise. The clock has started ticking!
#EndOverfishing #IUUfishing
Since 2017 the #IUUFishing Coalition has been analysing Member States' implementation (www.iuuwatch.eu/the-iuu-regu...). Latest preliminary results available at marketac.eu/wp-content/u... - full report to be published soon.
@ejfoundation.org @oceanaeurope.bsky.social @peweurope.bsky.social @wwf.eu
🤩Thrilled with MEP Casares ( @socialistsanddemocrats.eu ) question whether DG MARE will hold more Member States accountable for not implementing EU rules, in this case the inspection threshold. The EU #IUU Coalition has been highlighting these issues for years. www.europarl.europa.eu/doceo/docume...
