Die #EUOceanDays zeigen effektive Lösungen für zahlreiche Meereskrisen auf – vom #SchutzFürSchutzgebiete bis zu der überfälligen sozialökon. Transformation der Fischerei. Daraus wird nichts, wenn Naturschutzstandards weiter verwässert u. abgebaut werden. Ein starker #OceanAct muss her! 🇪🇺🌊💪 1/3
Im März rücken bei den European Ocean Days Meeresfragen in den Fokus. Es geht um nachhaltige Fangquoten und Sabotage an Unterseekabeln.

🌊 This week is EU Ocean Days! Why thinking of events?
Events create waste and emissions that impact our oceans. Plastic cups, unnecessary travel, and food waste all add up.
♻️ Let’s do better:
✔️ Skip single-use plastic
✔️ Choose local venues
✔️ Reduce food waste

The case for @ec.europa.eu ‘s #OceanEye 🌊👀 Ocean observation initiative, announced by the #EUOceanPact and by President @vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu at the #EUOceanDays in March 👇
Opinion: “As we plummet toward a loss of data, expertise, and innovation, we face a future that would not only further damage the United States' reputation for scientific excellence and transparency but also cripple the global sea level research community.”

The Global Impact of Losing U.S. Sea Level Science - Eos
Cuts to climate science risk halting or even erasing decades of progress in global change research—just as risks from rising seas demand better data, informed decisionmaking, and faster action.
