The temperature "anomaly" in the North Atlantic including the waters around the British isles has seen a “severe” category four marine heatwave declared. The RSPB said urgent action was needed to address the “cocktail of threats” facing species, including fast-tracking plans to restore our seas and banning industrial sandeel fishing in the North Sea - a vital food source for seabirds.
“Restoring our special seabird islands, cutting accidental deaths caused by longline and gillnet fishing and pushing ahead with bans on industrial sandeel fishing across the UK are all measures that can and should be taken now.
