By Michaela Girvan Scotland is poised to make legal history with the introduction of the Ecocide (Prevention) (Scotland) Bill, the world’s first national-level legislation to formally criminalise ecocide.
We keep hearing that 30% of the ocean will be protected by 2030. But only 8.4% of our blue planet is protected, and just 2.8% is effectively protected. We need drastic change to achieve the 30% target in the next few years.
Bycatch is not an accident; it’s a catastrophe. At least 38 million tonnes of marine life killed each year by accident
is a staggering figure, likely underestimated, that represents an oceanic massacre of unimaginable scale. Remember, the global fishing industry receives $35 billion in subsidies annually. This is government-funded ocean destruction.
