70,000 fish KILLED and WASTED 🚨
In case you missed it, we recently assisted the Liberian Coast Guard in arresting two vessels involved in illegal transshipment at sea. But that’s not the whole story. During a boarding of the Guo Ji 828, our onboard biologist estimated that 65% of the fish hauled in by this vessel were so severely damaged by the nets that they couldn’t be commercially sold. These weren’t bycatch, they were the target species, crushed and discarded as waste.⚠️
In total, 72 crates were counted, with approximately 70,000 fish killed just to be thrown away. And this is just from one vessel, on one day. These nets trawl the waters multiple times a day, compounding the destruction.
This same devastation is highlighted in the groundbreaking new Ocean with #DavidAttenborough documentary. We had the privilege of taking their film crew to the frontlines, where they witnessed how industrial fishing is stripping our oceans and harming marine life and coastal communities.
The destruction you see in the film is exactly what we’re actively working to stop.

We can protect the ocean, but don’t ask us to pick between tea or coffee. That’s a real tough one..

"Paul #Watson - Schützer der Meere", "Ein Leben für den Schutz der Meere. Die #Dokumentation erzählt die Lebensgeschichte des Aktivisten Paul Watson, Mitbegründer von "#Greenpeace" und Gründer von "#SeaShepherd", der im Juli in Grönland aufgrund eines von Japan ausgehenden internationalen Haftbefehls verhaftet wurde."
Man muss den Typen nicht mögen. Aber die Inhalte seiner Aktion gehören sicher zu den Wichtigsten des 21. Jahrhunderts.

Könnten wir das #Meer nicht bitte einfach in Ruhe lassen? Es könnte sich doch langsam mal rumgesprochen haben, dass wir an Land schon genug kaputt gemacht haben und weiter kaputt machen.
„So sei man davon ausgegangen, dass in Europa und Asien vergleichbar viel Fischfang betrieben würde. In Wahrheit seien in Asien aber siebenmal mehr Fischereischiffe im Einsatz.“ #AI #forTheOcean
Auch (gerade?) die Dänen müssten es eigentlich besser wissen.
Wenn ich jemals ein Buch schreiben würde, dann eins über unserem Umgang mit den Meeren und warum das viel über unser Unterbewusstsein aussagt. #forTheOcean #klimakrise

Das Grinsen der Postbotin, wenn sie so ein Paket am #Pfarrhaus abgibt.
Sämtliche Maßnahmen, die Ozeane als CO2-Speicher zu nutzen werden ein schlechter Witz, wenn wir nicht aufhören, diesen Lebensraum (der natürlich von sich aus zuverlässig CO2 in O2 verwandelt) nachlässig zu zerstören und als Lebensraum zweiter Klasse zu behandeln. #forTheOcean

Heute ging eine gute Summe Steuerrückzahlung ein. Ich habe das Geld fast vollständig an die Diakonie Katastrophenhilfe und Sea Shepherd Deutschland weitergeleitet.
Ich schreibe das nicht, weil ich darauf stolz bin (ich würde gerne mehr tun), sondern, um zum Nachdenken und Nachmachen anzuregen.
Die beiden Zwecke sinds, weil mich das #Erdbeben und diese Versenkung des Flugzeugträgers sehr beschäftigen. #forGodsPeople #forTheOcean #wohlstand #nachhaltigkeit
Hoch interessante #SeaShepherd Doku über den illegalen Tintenfischfang vor den Galápagos Inseln auf dem YT Kanal von #SeaShepherdDE. Viele Hintergründe, wie der kommerzielle illegale Fischfang funktioniert. Mit Erpressung, Bestechung und Ausbeutung von Menschen, mit gefälschten Schiffskennungen auf #Seelenverkäufern. #ForTheOcean
