We are all to say good-bye to 2020! It has been the most extraordinary year of uncertainties and difficulties the world over - but also a time to test our resilience and adaptability in navigating such troubled waters. For many, it has also been a time for reflection and recognizing that we will only be able to protect ourselves if we are able to protect our home – our planet.
The future of fish looks bleak in Europe. Nearly nine months since the official Brexit and after multiple rounds of fisheries negotiations, the United Kingdom (UK) and the European Union (EU) are racing against the clock to conclude a fisheries agreement. The problem? The UK is gambling with the long-term health and abundance of the highly productive Northeast Atlantic fisheries.

Between 2016 and 2017, Oceana’s researchers conducted two scientific expeditions across the North Sea, onboard the MV Neptune – a fully equipped vessel, 50 m in length. The result: 42707 observation records of North Sea marine species, ranging from corals and sponges to crustaceans, fish, and molluscs.
