Amazing photo by @charlie_adam15 depicts the importance that the new UK ban on #sandeel fisheries in the NorthSea has for seabirds conservation and the threatened puffins. It would be interesting to understand how the declaimed social-ecological benefits are distributed tho!

I had a great day in Glenshee with the Scottish equivalent of the snow leopard last week. It’s well worth freezing your feet off to go and find these amazing mountain hares. #mountainhares #wildlifephotography #Scotland #cairngorms #wildscotland #wildlife #mountains

Here are 9 EU-flagged super trawlers 100m , all Dutch owned. Most are fishing in UK / EU waters or offloading their catch and preparing to head back out to sea. These massive fishing vessels overexploit marine resources and cause irreversible damage to biodiverse ecosystems. The CPWF and Neptune's Pirates are calling for the banning of super trawlers from Exclusive Economic Zones (EEZs) and national waters in order to preserve biodiversity and mitigate climate change to ensure the long-term sustainability of our oceans. 💪🌊 Stay tuned for more updates!
