Oceana UK

WATCH: The year is 2060, and we’ve fixed it. Our seas surge with life and nature sings once more. Our climate is stable and Earth has healed... This future is currently fictional. To make it real we MUST protect 30% of sea and land by 2030, under the global #30x30 commitment. Whilst this may sound doable, only 8% of sea and 3% of land is meaningfully protected in the UK, Wildlife and Countryside Link analysis shows. The UK Government has a very long way to go.

„I‘m sorry, but I tried.“ This is the minimum that I want to be able to tell my kids in the future, and unfortunately, it is what many of us will likely have to say. The video below hit hard for me, and in a time of new record heats and wildfires, I figured it was a good moment to share it. Everyone reading this should ask themselves what you will say to future generations about your activities in these crucial times. Hopefully, you at least tried your best. Like Stuart Capstick, the former deputy director at the Centre for Climate Change and Social Transformations (CAST) in Cardiff, who wrote this letter. Lets hope it does wake up some people in current times as well.

🤔 Did you know destructive bottom-trawl fishing is allowed in our marine protected areas? It's awful, and it's got to stop. ❌ What gives us hope, is how well our ocean havens can recover if given the chance. We recently sat down with community dive group, Sussex Underwater, to discuss just that. They're highlighting the astonishing recovery that can happen when trawlers are banned, and marine life has a chance to thrive once more 🐟🐙🦑 Read the full interview here: https://lnkd.in/e3S_ufuV
