Catching unwanted fish and dumping them back into the sea weakens the whole ecosystem.
We call on #AGRIFISH Ministers & @CostasKadis to prevent the issue by fully implementing the #CFP with ecosystem-based approach & selective fishing. #RethinkFisheries

Thankfully, the legal protections for nature have remained largely intact, with the Gov opting instead for guidance regarding the Habitats Regulations & to tweak rather than remove the National Park duty.
We'll continue our parliamentary advocacy with our partners. 2/3

5/5 Thatās why ClientEarth USA is taking legal action.
This new case challenges the legality of employers ignoring climate-related financial risks when managing retirement savings.
This could set a crucial precedent.
