"If we are to have any hope of restoring marine habitats, and offering a lifeline for wild #seabirds and the #fisheries upon which so many coastal #communities depend, progress is needed to make the target of designating 30% of marine areas as #marineprotectionareas (MPAs), including publication of the long awaited Marine Protected Areas Bill" - Anja Murray #FairSeas #30x30 https://lnkd.in/e7VvAyEx

Fair Seas team member Grace Carr reports live from the collapse of the biodiversity finance negotions at #COP16Columbia #FairSeas
UN biodiversity summit comes to abrupt end as deal on global nature fund falls through “Cop16 has stumbled and faltered before the key talks on a financial mechanism could be concluded. After all night negotiations the talks ran out of time and out of delegates and as a result the talks were suspended leaving the key issue of funding in limbo,” said Grace Carr, marine advocacy officer at the The Irish Wildlife Trust. “This is a delay we can’t afford as we see alarming evidence on a weekly basis that the earth is moving towards dangerous environmental tipping points,” she added. The UN gathering has failed to achieve sufficient progress on the key elements of the Kuming-Montreal GBF, including adoption of national biodiversity strategies and action plans, ramping up funding and tackling harmful subsidies, said Fintan Kelly, agriculture and land use policy officer with Irish Environmental Network. “Cop16 has failed to achieve a breakthrough moment on these key issues or to provide the transformative change that is necessary to address biodiversity loss,” he added. https://lnkd.in/ee5n5wrB

Fair Seas General Election Manifesto Full blog and link to PDF: https://lnkd.in/dc7WMAPv Key Points: 1. Marine Protected Areas (MPAs): A Critical Step for Ocean Health 2. A New Ocean Environment Policy Statement 3. Implementing the Common Fisheries Policy (CFP) for Sustainable Seas It’s more important than ever to consider the future of our environment. The health of Ireland’s ocean and coastal communities hangs in the balance, and the representatives we elect will be pivotal in determining their fate. Voting for candidates who prioritise ocean health is not just a choice; it’s a responsibility we all share to protect our seas, preserve biodiversity, and safeguard the livelihoods of those dependent on marine resources. #FairSeas #Vote4TheOcean
