🚨 THOUSANDS of animals are being killed as a result of getting accidentally caught in fishing gear, such as trawling nets - new research shows
Each year industrial vessels in the UK are catching:
🪶 10,000+ seabirds
🐋 1,000+ porpoises, dolphins & whales
🦭 500+ seals 1/2 🔽
Is the climate crisis weakening “fish friendships” & making them easy targets? 🐟
New research shows climate-driven ocean acidification may impact the social structures of fish, as habitat changes lead to smaller shoals, potentially reducing their safety 😔

🌊 Happy #WorldOceanDay to everyone except the UK Government
A full year has rolled around, and we’ve yet to hear even a whisper of when the govt is going to properly protect our ocean havens from bottom trawling, after pledging to consider it LAST World Ocean Day. What is going on?! 😡 1/2
🐟 Without healthy fish, UK seas can’t survive. Ocean advocate and vet, Cal Major, is backing Oceana UK, join her and demand the PM ends overfishing now 💙

Our ocean does so much for us all. This #WorldOceanDay, the UK Government must do right by it and stop delaying on such critical protection measures!
