So I’m sending out an SOS for the seas, an urgent plea to stop its ongoing destruction. 

      Whilst we’ve all been talking about it, reading about it, worrying about it, we’re still not doing much about it. We’re still not properly protecting 97.3% of our oceans. We’re still not working to give them the same sacredness or attention as our forests and land conservation areas. But we ARE still pillaging them like there’s no tomorrow. There are many imminent threats to the sea but overfishing is the biggest and perhaps most fixable one. Yet with fish consumption rising faster than our population, the problem isn’t going anywhere! Destroying the life in our oceans is terrifying in itself but with the impact on human life and climate change it’s downright apocalyptic.

Europe is the world's biggest importer of fish... That means we're supporting a genocide of life in our seas. That means we're supporting an industry whose success is dependant on leaving the rest of the world fishless. Because there are NOT plenty of fish in the sea. Although you've heard it before I'm repeating a message that can't be repeated enough. We cannot sponsor this destruction! Instead we must sponsor those reversing and stopping our damage. So in that spirit I'm walking 500 km- (500!!) from Santander to Santiago de Compostela along the northern coast of Spain. This walk began for my own reasons, but I’m also motivated by a need to draw attention and fundraise for this issue. It would really mean so much to me if you could help me help eachother help. 

If you have the means please, PLEASE consider donating to my fundraiser for the amazing organisations on this website. But more importantly be aware of what you buy, and if you don’t know much about the industry you can read a short synopsis below. Although a drop in the ocean, its part of the bigger initiative to take back responsibility for our destructive lifestyles.
