letsgofridayI know I don't have many friends here on livejournal, but I'm still posting this.
Basically:
The EU is currently reforming its “Common Fisheries Policy”, but the proposals don’t go far enough towards saving our seas through science-based catch limits. Ireland is one of the first countries to review the new plans and our government is hosting a public consultation for the next 24 hours. Let’s flood the consultation with calls for tighter catch limits and make Ireland an ocean champion who will set the tone for other countries to stand up and fight against Europe’s powerful and dangerous commercial fishing industry.
TL;DR: EU reforming fishing laws. Ireland is reviewing the plans. Government is holding public consultation thing. We want tighter catch limits.
If you guys could click here and send the letter of petition to Minister Coveney, the minister for fisheries, it'd be great. Hopefully if Ireland changes the laws, other countries will follow suit.
