🚨The great UK fishing scandal continues as 54% of catch limits are set above scientific advice for 2025, further jeopardising our dwindling fish populations and struggling small-scale fishing fleets.

The Labour government must and can turn this around for people & the planet. Share if you agree✊

Happy Valentine’s Day! 💙

African Penguins are loyal partners and mutually share the responsibilities of parenting. Both male and female take turns incubating the eggs, tending to their young and going out to sea to feed.🐧

We've partnered with Blue Earth Summit for the second year running! 🐋

This partnership is more than just a collaboration, it’s a commitment to action. The ocean gives us half the oxygen we breathe, absorbs one-third of global CO₂ emissions and plays a pivotal role in regulating our climate. 🌎

Disco-ver the electric clam! 🪩

These vibrantly coloured animals can create a flashing or strobing effect due to reflection of sunlight through the water. 💡

This behaviour has earned them some fun nicknames such as the electro-flame scallop and our personal favourite, the disco clam! 🕺🏼🕺🏼

Today is #WorldFisheriesDay, a day to highlight the importance of sustainable stocks of fisheries across the world and to support small scale fishing communities. 🎣

Small scale fishing practices are often intergenerational, meaning knowledge is passed through communities over time.
