Great news! The UK government has banned sand eel fishing. This wouldn’t have been possible without the almost 140,000 supporters who called on the government to put a stop to the industrial fishing frenzy. If you were one of them – thank you. You’ve taken action and delivered a great win for the UK’s ocean wildlife and iconic species like puffins.
From pausing deep sea mining to banning sand eel fishing, your calls to protect the oceans are definitely being heard. Now we need the government to step up a gear, and carry on showing us they’re serious about ocean protection by signing the Global Ocean Treaty into law immediately.
Without this, we won’t hit the target of protecting 30% of the world’s oceans by 2030. Together we’ve already shown them that people across the country want more ocean protection, and I’m sure that with your ongoing support we have a chance to see our hopes for a healthy ocean come true. Will you tell them to act now?
