🌊 Happy #WorldOceanDay to everyone except the UK Govt A year has rolled around, and we’ve yet to hear even a whisper of when the govt is going to properly protect our ocean havens from bottom trawling, after pledging to consider it LAST World Ocean Day. What's going on?! 😡 1/2

The problem with privatised water 💧 Around 90% of the world’s water is publicly owned - but England and Wales still run on a failed privatised system. For too long, water companies have been aloud to extract cash from a public necessity, all while putting profits before people and public health. The result? Polluted waterways, high bills and a system that isn’t working. It’s time to end this failed experiment and bring England’s water back into public hands. #publicownership #water #privatisation #sewage

"Water firm labelled 'worst-run company' after outages." So first it's going to be Thames Water that gets nationalised, then South East Water, who's next? bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

David Attenborough has spent years sounding the alarm on factory trawling, and he’s right: bottom trawling is one of the most destructive practices in our oceans. Alaska needs leaders willing to stand up to the trawling lobby and protect our fisheries before it’s too late.

Really good news. Over the last 15 years the world gained more mangroves than it has lost, thanks to stronger legal protections following the 2004 tsunami which proved their importance in protecting coasts. Also vital for fish and in absorbing carbon. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

We need to hold the government to its promise: no new oil and gas in UK seas! 🛑 Big Oil is pushing for more drilling, but it causes toxic spills and harms marine life—all without lowering our bills. Let's protect our ocean. Sign the petition: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/stop… @38degrees

Bottom trawling is damaging our precious marine wildlife and habitats. Without urgent action, our oceans will be irreversibly destroyed. Labour is taking decisive action to ban bottom trawling to preserve sea life for generations to come. observer.co.uk/news/oceans/ar…

BREAKING NEWS: FREE THE 15....... THE 15 HAVE BEEN FREED Steph Spyro @StephSpyro and the @Daily_Express have saved the penguins which are currently being held captive in the basement of the London Aquarium. 👏👏👏 Huge, huge, huge achievement. Hip hip hooray. A brilliant, brilliant example of nothing more than having a clear vision, a strategic objective coupled with the guts, the ambition and determination to deliver it. Huge round of applause. Mighty I suggest that others, especially those within the eNGO charity sector will want to take note. express.co.uk/news/uk/221092…

Thanks, Pam! Just passed 120K . People don't need to be put off by the government's 'it would take years nonsense'. In the 2008 banking crash, Northern Rock took 5 days to nationalise and British steel is being done now in just a few weeks. People have the power to change their future but they have to use it - and if government is trying to discourage them from signing, that ought to be confirmation that we are on to something and it is a good idea!

🚨 Scientists have combed through 9,000 fisheries reports to lift a lid on just how horrific bottom trawling for our seas. It will shock you. ~3,000 different marine species have been caught by bottom trawlers, however the true number may be double this👇 theconversation.com/bottom-trawlin…
