Oceana is in Cyprus to call on @cy2026eu.bsky.social and @ec.europa.eu to reserve coastal waters for low impact fishers. The upcoming Ocean Act is the perfect vehicle to put this in place as concrete measures to make islands and coastal communities resilient, prosperous and fair

With the Ocean Act we have the opportunity to ensure that we include those that care most for the ocean and use it responsibly get a seat at the table and sufficient fishing rights. This mean we need to include the voices of women @oceanaeurope.bsky.social @eppgroup.bsky.social #Women From the Sea

Fishers of Seychelles, Ivory Coast and Guinea-Bissau have a clear message for the EU to improve the position of women - there is a need for better access to resources and infrastructure to sell or process fish and to better include them in the management decisions @cffacape.bsky.social
