🌍 5% of the Baltic Sea’s eelgrass is under critical conflict: a clash between where meadows provide the most but are under the highest pressure. Two-thirds of these conflict zones are inside #MPAs. Designation does not equal protection. Learn more here 🔗 storymaps.arcgis.com/stories/7124...

We welcome the #OurBaltic Conference — but a lack of stakeholder inclusion and clear outcomes, like a declaration, means no action. The Baltic Sea is in crisis! Urgency must be matched by action, transparency, and bold decisions by the Member States. @jessikaroswall.ec.europa.eu @CostasKadis

United by our concern for the #BalticSea, NGOs, small-scale fishers and anglers met yesterday with @ec.europa.eu commissioner @CostasKadis to discuss recovery measures for Baltic fish and ecosystems. We hope today’s #OurBaltic Ministerial Conference responds with the urgent action needed.
