🚨 The UK has REFUSED to back a plan to save collapsing mackerel stocks 🐟

By ignoring scientific advice, the UK is fuelling overfishing.

This isn’t complicated. It’s a political choice.

📩 This #WorldFisheriesDay, tell the PM to stop overfishing: act.oceana.org/page/178303/...

Putting aside the politics, it’s nice to hear our leaders using words like “immoral” to draw a line in the sand. It’s been a while.

Morality is what makes us different. It’s a privilege and a burden and everything inbetween. But without it, we would tear each other apart.

Powerful stuff.

And he's right. It's not about stopping people from making a living (despite what many of our adversaries claim). It's about making choices now that will secure the future for ocean life and all those who depend on it.

Years and years of work is going to be undone if we go back on net zero, at a time when the biggest push is needed to meet our climate and nature targets.

These targets aren't just to protect the planet, its to ensure our survival & the future generations survival. Plus they're the bare minimum!

💧 Leave out water bowls.

🥜 Top up feeders & leave out wet food.

⛱️ Help give shelter from the sun by leaving grass to grow & hedges untrimmed.

🌷Give frogs, toads and hedgehogs shortcuts by leaving gaps in fences.
