Destructive bottom trawling is rampant in Europe’s marine protected areas. The European Union (EU) seabeds are the most trawled in the world, causing damage to vital ecosystems that lasts generations. Urge EU lawmakers to protect the ocean, fisheries, and our future.

Only 2.9% of the ocean is officially safeguarded under “high protection.” In December 2022, at COP15, world leaders finally committed to protect 30% by 2030. Now it’s time to hold them to their promise.

Despite contributing very little to climate change, developing countries continue to bear the greatest costs. Understanding this, nations made a historic commitment at COP27 to create a Loss and Damage Fund to help developing nations cope with the costs and impact of the climate crisis. On November 30, 2023, thanks to the public pressure from tens of thousands of you and advocates from around the world, countries formally operationalized the Loss and Damage Fund on the first day of COP28 in Dubai, with over $700M committed to date.
