I've just been looking at the website. My optimism is limited though. Russian and Chinese mega trawlers keep 'accidentally' fishing in marine conservation zones with no consequences,
Here (Denmark) it's Dutch trawlers they keep catching in the protected areas, I suspect that all countries do it, after all money is all that matters.
Shockingly, it's happening in the English Channel too; Dutch super trawlers in marine protected areas. I've seen them; they are huge.
Based in Sussex, I garden to encourage as many birds to my garden as possible.
But anyway the Canadian 'COP15' is supposed to be the conference where politicians negotiate how much of our biodiversity they can be bothered to save. I'd assume that the UK won't be involved since they've already set their legally binding target to halt natural decline and protect 30% of land/sea for nature by 2030, but apparently we're leading the call for action despite being one of the worst countries for biodiversity depletion. Seven years remaining to hit the target and all that has been done so far is to work out what the campaign slogan should be.
