Mediterranean countries have missed a crucial chance to protect #DeepSea life from destructive fishing.
We urge them and @ec.europa.eu to show leadership & extend the #bottomtrawling ban to at least 800m in 2026— for marine life, fishers & the climate

The Mediterranean deep sea is a refuge for unique life and extending its protection would have minimal impact on fishers. Yet it remains under threat from destructive fishing.
We call on @ec.europa.eu, @fao.org GFCM and Med countries to extend #DeepSea protection.

The ocean has shielded us from the worst of the climate crisis: absorbing over 90% of the excess heat and storing vast amounts of carbon.
Because 90% of the ocean is the deep sea, protecting the deep is essential for a healthier, more resilient planet.
