If this goes ahead, it could be a nail in the coffin for #salmon on the rivers Wye, Usk and Severn. EDF wants to ditch the acoustic fish deterrent on its cooling water intake at @hinkleypointc nuclear plant.
Retweet if you think @edfenergy shouldn’t skimp on fish protection.🧵

⚖️ Today the Court of Session will hear evidence in our legal challenge to the Scottish Govt's licensing of scallop dredging & bottom-trawling. Our seas are a public asset & protecting them is in the public interest.

Have you seen Salmon Shame? An eye-opening video, it exposes the true horrors of open-net salmon farming in Scotland. Watch the video to learn why salmon has no place on a sustainable menu.

We need your help. @SouthernWater are consulting on their water transfer & recycling plans. There is critical need for more water supply infrastructure. Add your feedback to protect Hampshire’s chalk streams. Demand plans with transparency & urgency.

Data from @EnvAgency shows 88% of salmon rivers in England now ‘at risk’ or ‘probably at risk’. Climate change is damaging stocks globally but water quality, salmon farming and barriers to migration are impacting too - and we can do something about it.

While millions starve, 10% of the world's grain and 18% of its vegetable oil are being burnt.
And governments want to burn far more.
It's monstrous and obscene, a crime against humanity.
My column.

➡️ @ChrisGPackham calls for an end to salmon farming in western Scotland. We hope that he will now push for the @RSPCA_official (of which he is Vice President) to end its accreditation scheme and unjustified support for open-net salmon farming.
