In 2025, we reached a major milestone — collecting our first 10 tons (10,064 kg) of abandoned, lost, and discarded fishing gear #ALDFG from the #MyeikArchipelago. This includes collections from Sitat Galet Island (Lampi Marine Park), Langann Island (Langann LMMA), and Wel Kyun.

🙌 Special thanks to the team on the ground!!! We’re getting super close to reaching 10,000 kg of #ALDFG (abandoned, lost or discarded fishing gear) being collected from the islands of #Lampi and #Langann. 🦈 These waters are home to Critically Endangered sharks and rays of #Myanmar. Wish us luck!! 💪🏽

6 trips and nearly 7 tonnes of ghost gear gone. 🐟💪 With Langann Island community, we’ve made our biggest ALDFG removal yet—keeping harmful nets out of reefs, turtles & mobula rays in Langann LMMA. 🌊💙 #OceanConservation #GhostGear #MyanmarOceanProject

Earlier this July, I joined the 2025 Asia Shark Research & Conservation Leadership Workshop in Palawan 🇵🇭, a powerful week of learning, connecting, and growing. Huge thanks to Blue Capacity Collective and everyone who made it possible! 🦈🌊 #ASRA #MyanmarOcean

🌊 Last week Myanmar Ocean Project celebrated #WorldOceansDay with Goethe-Institut Myanmar, showcasing art and writing by youth across Myanmar. Thank you to all the amazing young creatives and volunteers who made it special! 💛 #MyanmarOcean #SustainingWhatSustainUs

A pre-monsoon update from the sea from our team in #MyeikArchipelago. We're very grateful to be able to continue working with the fishing communities in such challenging times in #Myanmar. If you're still looking to support our fundraising efforts, please see the earlier posts.

We’re over the half way mark to our goal of providing #cleandrinkingwater to 500 households! Please continue to share and donate to support the earthquake stricken communities in Myanmar rebuild! #sawyerwaterfilters #lifestraw #waterisahumanright #earthquakesupport #myanmar

A little update from the ground for the water filter donations! Your support is providing safe drinking water to families rebuilding their lives. THANK YOU VERY MUCH! Please continue to share & donate to help us reach our goal! #MyanmarEarthquake

On Mar 28, a massive earthquake hit central Myanmar. Entire towns are in ruins, and survivors are queuing for clean water in the scorching heat. I've started donating water filters, but demand is overwhelming. Help us reach 500 filters by month’s end.

Thank you for this @climateimpactstracker.com and Thee Oo Thazin for the beautiful sketches 💛

Here’s to a busy 2024! Thank you very much 🙏🏾 to everyone who’s worked with us and supported our work, particularly the fishing communities whose collaboration is vital to our projects.

Very happy to have been part of this study. 🇲🇲 gets overlooked for a lot of things at the detriment of communities & environment in 🇲🇲 but also outside (as the paper highlighted 🇲🇲’s role not only in consumption & trade of mobulid products but also a key trade route for other countries in the region).

A little introduction to me, where I’m from and what I do ☺️ @csmonitor.bsky.social www.csmonitor.com/World/Making...
