🐧🐧 HAPPY WORLD PENGUIN DAY 🐧🐧
Today, we celebrate these black-and-white waddling balls of cuteness😍😍
To ensure these adorable creatures and the oceans they call home are protected, we urgently need governments to create ocean sanctuaries.
In the meantime, discover your penguin name and then share it in the comments below 👇👇

Incredible stuff here from Greenpeace.
This is all the evidence needed.
Bottom trawling HAS to stop.

Embarrassing. New Zealand is pushing to allow for more coral destruction on the high seas, out of step with other countries who are backing greater ocean protection.
NZ Govt you know how to fix this. Stop bottom trawling in High Seas of the South Pacific.

New Zealand is not backing ocean protection. Embarrassing. And the world is noticing.
We're the only country still carrying out destructive bottom trawling the High Seas of the South Pacific.

Key orange roughy fishery - on the Chatham Rise - is on the brink of collapse.
This is a heavily bottom trawled area - where Greenpeace has just been on the Rainbow Warrior campaigning for greater ocean protection.
Bottom trawling destroys seamounts and the coral that grows on them which are key habitats for roughy - a deep sea fish that can live to 200 years old. It's time for bottom trawling to stop.

WOW.
It's twenty years today since Greenpeace captured this arresting image that changed the conversation about bottom trawling.
And the fishing industry is STILL saying they don't trawl coral.
