European seas and the communities that depend on them face catastrophe unless our leaders act now to protect them. In 24 hours, the Irish government could join a growing European call to strengthen fishing limits, but only if they hear from concerned citizens from across Ireland first.

The EU is currently reforming its “Common Fisheries Policy”, but the proposals don’t go far enough towards saving our seas through science-based catch limits. Ireland is one of the first countries to review the new plans and our government is hosting a public consultation for the next 24 hours. Let’s flood the consultation with calls for tighter catch limits and make Ireland an ocean champion who will set the tone for other countries to stand up and fight against Europe’s powerful and dangerous commercial fishing industry.

Let’s flood the public consultation on fishing limits before it ends at midnight on Friday -- and let Fisheries Minister Coveney know that we support him in becoming an ocean hero. Use the form on the right to send a message now:
