La sécurité, la compétitivité et la résilience futures de l’Europe se joueront en mer. La « Loi européenne sur les océans » (European Ocean Act) constitue une occasion unique de mettre en place le cadre opérationnel commun qui fait actuellement défaut à l’Europe : une information et une prise de décision transparentes, des règles prévisibles, une planification coordonnée et une responsabilité mesurable, à travers les différents secteurs maritimes et au-delà des frontières. Cette note d’orientation expose deux impératifs stratégiques pour cette Loi sur les océans.

This briefing summarises the findings of an analysis commissioned by the Environmental Justice Foundation (EJF), the Deep Sea Conservation Coalition (DSCC) and the Deep Sea Mining Campaign (DSMC) to examine the financial viability of deep-sea mining (DSM) under realistic cost and price assumptions.

This workbook contains a financial model of the NORI-D deep-sea mining project by Nauru Ocean Resources Inc, a subsidiary of The Metals Company, and multiple input variable scenarios are ran.

This analysis, commissioned by the Environmental Justice Foundation (EJF), the Deep Sea Conservation Coalition (DSCC) and the Deep Sea Mining Campaign (DSMC), examines the financial viability of deep-sea mining (DSM) under realistic cost and price assumptions.

Europe’s future security, competitiveness and resilience will be decided at sea. The European Ocean Act is a unique opportunity to establish the common operating framework Europe currently lacks: transparent information and decision-making, predictable rules, coordinated planning and measurable accountability across maritime sectors and borders. This policy briefing lays out two strategic imperatives for the Ocean Act.

Plastics and the chemicals they contain have become deeply embedded in our lives within only a single generation. They are found in the vast majority of items we rely on every day – from food packaging and takeaway containers to clothing, furniture, hygiene products, infant feeding bottles and children’s toys.

This report shares our novel analyses of the PlastChem data to shed light on the risks presented to human health by everyday items containing plastic-associated chemicals. The findings make the case for a world where the products we use every day are safe by design; today, they are not.

The EU’s Landing Obligation (LO) is intended to reduce waste, encourage selective fishing and improve the catch information used to manage populations. For catches within the LO scope, fishers must retain, record and land catches, including bycatch, and count them against quota where applicable, subject to defined exemptions. More than a decade after the obligation was phased in, and seven years after it became fully applicable, these objectives have not been achieved.

This briefing from EJF and Oceana provides a roadmap for ensuring the EU Landing Obligation’s full implementation.

This report reveals extensive shark finning on board Chinese and Taiwanese-owned tuna vessels that call at Dakar, Senegal's main fishing port. Drawing on first-hand testimony from fishers who witnessed this cruel and often illegal practice, the report exposes how fins were routinely landed in Dakar, with enforcement at the port easily evaded or non-existent. It also reveals the high risk of tuna linked to shark finning entering global supply chains. Without urgent action from Senegal and international regulators to close these loopholes, the trade of shark fins will continue unchecked.

Ce rapport met au jour l’ampleur de l’aileronnage des requins à bord de thoniers chinois et taïwanais faisant escale à Dakar, principal port de pêche du Sénégal.

S’appuyant sur les témoignages de pêcheurs ayant observé ces pratiques, il révèle que des ailerons de requins étaient régulièrement débarqués à Dakar, où les contrôles portuaires faisaient défaut. Le rapport met également en évidence le risque que du thon issu de navires pratiquant l’aileronnage des requins alimente les chaînes d’approvisionnement mondiales.

Le commerce des ailerons de requins reste possible en raison de ces failles de contrôle, qui doivent être comblées de toute urgence.
