@CarolineLucas @TheGreenParty ‘I remain opposed to an unelected second chamber, but…..blah, blah blah!’ If you & The Green Party are opposed to the House of Lords, where are your principles, where is this different kind of politics!

@leerust1966 @CITES We’re ordinary people trying to save eels from traps and polluted rivers. SEG, meanwhile, plays politics and labels it “sustainability.” The difference? We release eels. They release press statements. #eelcrisis

In view of recent events would anyone now recommend a financial advisor? A surveyor takes out insurance why don’t financial advisors?

SEGs 60%Restocking 1/10 EU FAILING TO MEET ITS OWN 60% EEL RESTOCKING LAW EU Regulation 1100/2007 requires 60% of the glass eel catch to be used for restocking to recover populations. This target was briefly hit in 2014. By 2018? It had collapsed to just 22%.

@EcofactEcology ⸻ Great news: the critically endangered European eel still can’t get past Ballina Weir! The “elver pass” got its token fix in 2022, then was left to quietly fall apart. Meanwhile, salmon counters sparkle and angling thrives. Conservation?

SEGs illusion 1/9 ❌ SEG Certification is a Dangerous Illusion The Sustainable Eel Group (SEG) claims to certify “sustainable” eel fishing. But the European eel is Critically Endangered. This label misleads — and harms recovery.
