BLOOM and campaign for a historic EU ban on deep-sea bottom trawling
Click on your country to take action
From September 8 to 14, Lush makes a splash by relaying BLOOM’s campaign against deep-sea bottom trawling in more than one hundred stores in Europe.
The fundamental problem: deep-sea bottom trawls destroy vulnerable marine ecosystems and this happens in our European waters!
SAVE THE BOTTOM OF THE EUROPEAN SEAS
Click on each country to take action.
Let’s mobilize the public opinion and raise awareness among our European governments to support the ban of deep-sea bottom trawling.
Podes fazer com que a tua voz seja ouvida! Envia um email para a nossa Ministra da Agricultura e do Mar com o texto que criámos : gabministra@mamaot.gov.pt
Cara Ministra,
Hoje a União Europeia tem uma oportunidade de banir a pesca de arrasto de fundo em alto-mar, que foi apelidada pela comunidade científica “a prática pesqueira mais destrutiva da história”. Nesta prática são usadas redes gigantes com cabo e placas de aço de mais de duas toneladas cada, que raspam o fundo dos oceanos, devastando este ecossistema e eliminando espécies vulneráveis, algumas em risco de extinção.
Dois anos depois da Comissão Europeia ter proposto uma proibição oficial desta prática pesqueira tão destrutiva, o Conselho de Ministros hesita ainda em aprovar esta proibição. Se os governos não conseguem acordar com uma medida que diz respeito apenas a meia dúzia de embarcações, dependentes de subsídios, que têm custos para todos nós e beneficiam ninguém, então que esperanças tem os nossos cidadãos para o futuro do nosso planeta?
Assim sendo, pedimos-lhe que apoie a proposta da Comissão Europeia para banir a pesca de arrasto de fundo em alto-mar e para assegurar que o Concelho de Ministros adote rapidamente esta medida histórica e necessária para proteger o mais vulnerável ecossistema marinho.
Os melhores cumprimentos

Beziehe Stellung, setze dich für die Zukunft unserer Meere ein und versende diesen Brief an
den österreichischen Umweltminister Andrä Rupprechter unter
buero.rupprechter@lebensministerium.at
Sehr geehrter Herr Minister Rupprechter,
Heute hat die Europäische Union die Möglichkeit, die Grundschleppnetzfischerei zu
verbieten, die Wissenschaftler als “die zerstörerischste Fischerei-Ausrüstung der
Geschichte” bezeichnen. Dabei handelt es sich um riesige, schwere Netze, die den
Meeresboden der Tiefsee aufgraben, jahrtausende alte Ökosysteme zerstören und
gefährdete Arten fangen, von denen einige schon vom Aussterben bedroht sind.
Zwei Jahre nachdem die Europäische Kommission ein Verbot dieser zerstörerischen
Fischereimethode vorgeschlagen hat, weigert sich der Europäische Ministerrat noch immer,
dem zuzustimmen. Wenn sich die Regierungen nicht auf eine Maßnahme einigen können,
die nur eine Handvoll stark subventionierter Industrieschiffe betrifft, die uns alle nur kostet
und niemandem etwas nützt, was können sich die Bürger dann in Bezug auf die Zukunft
unseres Planeten erwarten?
Daher bitten wir Sie dringend, den Vorschlag der Europäischen Kommission, die
Grundschleppnetzfischerei zu verbieten, vollkommen zu unterstützen und sicher zu
gehen, dass der Europäische Ministerrat Fortschritte macht, eine historisch sehr wichtige
Maßnahme rasch umzusetzen, um die gefährdeten Ökosysteme der Tiefsee zu schützen.
Mit freundlichen Grüßen,

Spoštovani gospod minister Židan,
danes ima Evropska unija priložnost, da prepove globokomorski ribolov z vlečno mrežo, ki jo znanstveniki imenujejo tudi »najbolj uničujoča ribiška priprava v zgodovini«. Gre za velikanske obtežene mreže, ki strgajo globokomorsko dno, rušijo tisočletja stare ekosisteme in lovijo tudi ogrožene vrste, nekatere med katerimi so tik pred izumrtjem. Dve leti po tem, ko je Evropska komisija predlagala prepoved tega uničujočega načina ribarjenja, Evropskemu svetu glede tega vprašanja še vedno ni uspelo doseči soglasja. Če se vlade ne morejo dogovoriti niti o ukrepu, ki bi se dotaknil le peščice industrijskih in močno subvencioniranih ladij, ki nas vse drago stanejo, koristi od njih pa nima nihče – kakšne upe naj državljani gojimo glede prihodnosti našega planeta? Zato vas pozivamo, da v celoti podprete predlog Evropske komisije za prepoved globokomorskega ribolova z vlečno mrežo in poskrbite, da Evropski svet pohiti in hitro sprejme ta prepotrebni in zgodovinski ukrep za zaščito najranljivejših morskih ekosistemov.
S spoštovanjem,
Pošaljite pismo ministru Jakovini: ured.ministra@mps.hr
Poštovani ministre Jakovina,
Danas, Europska Unija ima priliku zabraniti dubokomorsko kočarenje pridnenim mrežama sa utezima, koje znanstvenici nazivaju „najdestruktivnijom ribarskom opremom u povijesti“. Radi se o velikim mrežama na koje su pričvršćeni utezi i koje stružu po dnu dubokih mora, uništavajući ekosustave koji se tamo nalaze, a stari su tisućama godina, pritom loveći ranjive vrste, među kojima su neke suočene sa izumiranjem. Dvije godine nakon što je Europska komisija predložila zabranu ovog destruktivnog načina lova, Vijeće ministara EU i dalje se bori oko usvajanja ove zabrane. Ako se vlade ne mogu usuglasiti oko mjere, koja se tiče samo šačicu industrijskih, dobro financiranih brodica, koje koštaju svih nas a nikome ne koriste, čemu se građani mogu nadati kada se radi o budućnosti našeg planeta? Stoga, molimo Vas da u potpunosti podržite prijedlog Europske komisije za zabranu dubokomorskog kočarenja i osigurate napredak u vijeću Europskih ministara za brzo usvajanje prijeko potrebne povijesne mjere koja će zaštititi najosjetljivije morske ekosustave.
S poštovanjem,

Text e-mailu níže můžete zkopírovat a poslat na info@mze.cz
Vážený pane ministře Jurečko,
Evropská unie má dnes možnost zakázat rybolov vlečnými sítěmi, který odborníci považují za jeden z nejvíce destruktivních způsobů rybolovu v historii vůbec. Velké a těžké sítě při tomto způsobu rybolovu doslova oškrabávají mořské dno, devastují ekosystémy tisíce let staré a zároveň zachytávají zranitelné druhy, z nichž některým hrozí vyhubení.
Dva roky poté, co Evropská komise navrhla zakázat tuto destruktivní metodu rybolovu, se evropští ministři stále nemohou v této věci dohodnout. Pokud se jednotlivé vlády nemohou shodnout na opatření, které má postihnout pouze hrstku silně dotovaných lodí, na které přispíváme všichni a nikomu nepřináší užitek, v co dalšího máme mít jako občané důvěru s ohledem na budoucnost naší planety?
Proto na Vás apelujeme, abyste plně podpořil návrh Evropské komise zakázat rybolov vlečnými sítěmi a přispěl k postupu v této věci v Radě Evropské unie směrem k přijetí tohoto historicky důležitého kroku na ochranu nejvíce zranitelných podmořských ekosystémů.
S pozdravem,
