Small Fish, Big Impact.
🌊 Last week, Grace, our Marine Advocacy Officer, spoke at an Ocean Week event in the EU Parliament.
She highlighted the underlying issues in achieving sustainable inshore fisheries in Irish waters.

Die #Modeindustrie verkleidet sich mithilfe von "Ozeanplastik" gerne als “grün”, ist aber eine der Hauptquellen der globalen #Plastikkrise. Auch sie muss endlich zur Verantwortung gezogen u. die Plastik-Fashion-Flut gestoppt werden! Spannender Workshop auf der #EUOceanWeek 🌊 @seasatrisk.bsky.social
A fantastic night at the Irish Embassy Brussels with @fairseas.ie & @cnagaeilge.bsky.social during #EUOceanWeek
Inspiring discussion on the links between the Irish language, culture & nature. Great to see the Irish language & marine biodiversity being celebrated on the EU stage @swimminghead.co.uk
At Arctik, we aim to humanise policy. And this is especially the case for Ocean policy, as it becomes meaningful when people can see it, relate to it, and act on it.

Grüße aus Brüssel 🌊 Hier auf der #EUOceanWeek sind die Forderungen nach Grundschleppnetz-freien Schutzgebieten lauter denn je, nicht nur von NGOs, sondern auch seitens Kleinfischer*innen aus 🇬🇷 u. 🇵🇹. Die 🇪🇺-🐟-Politik muss endlich echten #SchutzFürSchutzgebiete durchsetzen! @seasatrisk.bsky.social 1/3
@anaisberthier.bsky.social reminds Ms Manfredi that the onus shouldn’t be on NGOs to manage ocean health. As the guardian of the treaties the @ec.europa.eu has the legal obligation to make sure EU laws are followed & the moral duty to protect #OurOcean for generations to come. 🤗🌊🌍 #EUOceanWeek
The @ec.europa.eu's Veronica Manfredi agrees that it's 'unexpected’ that harmful #BottomTrawling should happen in so-called protected areas & explains the Commission is ready to listen 👂 to local watchdogs & observers to learn and bring much needed change. #ProtectedMeansProtected #EUOceanWeek
“Wherever we’re protecting areas of the ocean it’s recovering in a more spectacular way than we could ever imagine!” - ‘Ocean’ film director/producer Toby Nowlan spotlights the spillover effect when we #BanBottomTrawling in marine reserves at our #EUOceanWeek film screening 🎥
#EUOceanWeek is underway🐠
UNOC, Attenborough's 'Ocean', the High Seas Treaty and a wave of legal actions against destructive fishing in MPAs - they're some examples of why 2025 is the "Year of the Ocean".
We still have time to protect it.
Let's remind EU leaders that it's on them to make it happen
Octopuses are magnificent, intelligent, and sentient animals.
That’s why we must keep them wild – free in the ocean, not trapped in factory farms.
This #EUOceanWeek, we urge policymakers to sign our pledge: movement.end.it/global-keep-...
#ActionForOctopuses
“We want a sustainable and low-impact fisheries sector, but one that’s economically viable without public support. For this we really need a #JustTransition.” Our Executive Director Monica Verbeek calls for better use of EU funds during our #EUOceanWeek event on the EU's multi-annual budget. 💶
