No wonder it's hard to get agreement on ocean protection, even when it's literally essential for our survival. Up to a third of national delegations to key fishing governance meetings are fishing industry representatives, a Greenpeace report has revealed. #ProtectTheOceans

Lol. Lmao even.
The CoC seem to be having some internal strife over their terrible, industry driven fisheries legislation.

Your #OrangeRoughy fun fact of the day:

These fish live very slow paced lives. They only start reproducing after they reach between 20 - 30 years of age and scientist believe they are fully sexually mature when they reach about 70 years!

This is one of the main reasons their population recovery is so slow, and they are highly vulnerable to bottom trawling.

Vote for these chilled out, long-lived friends in the deep for Fish of the Year 2026! 🐟 🪸

Embarrassing. New Zealand is pushing to allow for more coral destruction on the high seas, out of step with other countries who are backing greater ocean protection.

NZ Govt you know how to fix this. Stop bottom trawling in High Seas of the South Pacific.

Imagine a future where parts of the sea are safe zones, with no destructive fishing, no harm, just space for marine life to rest, recover, and thrive💙

And it’s possible — because the Global Ocean Treaty will soon be coming into force, giving governments the power to make this future real 🌊
