Did you know that 80% of Europe’s external trade and 40% of its internal trade moves by sea?
It’s about time we treated oceans as what they truly are: strategic assets of economic power, or others will take advantage of our inaction.

Loopholes in EU law still delay action to protect these species – like boosting selective fishing gear or setting spatial limits for fishing.
The Marine Strategy Framework Directive revision is a chance to fix this & turn the promises of the #OceanPact into action!
