Today we say farewell to Jane Goodall. Her legacy reminds us that science & story must walk hand in hand, and that hope & action are inseparable. We draw inspiration from her example and the way she showed the world that communication can spark compassion, courage, & change. 🙏 TY #JaneGoodall

🌊 Proud team moment: the #HighSeasTreaty has reached 60 ratifications, triggering entry into force. The first legally binding agreement to protect biodiversity in the High Seas is becoming reality. Now the work continues: from 60 → global ratification. #BBNJ @highseasalliance.bsky.social

A night to remember at Kanaloa House for #OPY2025 🌊 From conservation to adventure, fine art to human connection, the breadth of ocean photography on display was extraordinary. #OceanPhotography #OceanComms @oceanographicmag.bsky.social

Good look at the nuts and bolts of how the Pulitzer Center team did their messaging analysis on The Metal's Company PR Pivot. I did some of the background research for the Greenpeace report that came to the same conclusion.

The stripes represent the dramatic decline in marine biodiversity since 1970. Unless we reverse the trend, we will lose even more life in our ocean – with disastrous consequences for the health of the ocean and, by implication, the entire planet and ourselves. www.naturepositive.org/news/blog/oc...

Happy #WorldKrillDay! 🦐 Antarctic krill act as a giant conveyor belt, constantly moving carbon down from the water’s surface by eating carbon-capturing algae, then dropping carbon-filled poop at the bottom of the ocean. Today we celebrate this tiny but mighty crustacean! @antarcticasouth.bsky.social

🚨The UK Govt is asking the public to give their thoughts on whether they should extend bottom trawling bans in 41 English protected areas. 🌊 This is our chance! Use your voice to help kick this wasteful, destructive practice out of ocean havens! 👇 only.one/act/uk-mpa-c...

TMC is trying to bypass global rules to mine the deep sea for profit, ignoring science, equity & multilateralism. This reckless move threatens the ocean and undermines international law. World governments must say NO to #DeepSeaMining. Time to act now! ➡️ defendthedeep.org

At #ISBA30, delegates gather in an informal working group on underwater cultural heritage (UCH), to consider matters relating to protecting & safeguarding UCH, both tangible & intangible, and a proposal to create a committee on intangible UCH. #deepseamining #UNCLOS #seabed

The deep sea is one of Earth’s least understood ecosystems, home to thousands of species yet to be discovered, and its largest carbon sink. Deep-sea mining risks causing irreversible damage to this unique biodiversity. Learn more ➡️ buff.ly/2yDHS32 #DefendTheDeep #ISA30 @deepseaconserve.bsky.social

From Nice to Belém: the #BlueNDCChallenge is on. The goal? Get ocean-based solutions into national climate plans. 🎥 In our interview with @ocean-climate.bsky.social Cyrielle Lam, she explains why this matters for ocean communicators. #COP3 #UNOC3 www.oceanprotect.org/2025/06/12/k...

Happy #SharkAwarenessDay!🦈 Sharks play a very important role in helping maintain the delicate balance of marine life. However, they are in rapid decline and vulnerable to over-exploitation and #overfishing. Which species is your favourite? 📷 @biminisharkgirl.bsky.social

There’s a risk with the automation of thought. Generative AI tempts users to conflate speed with quality, productivity with originality. The danger is not that AI will fail us, but that people will accept the mediocrity of its outputs as the norm. theconversation.com/is-ai-sparki...

🚨 Deep-sea mining would be devastating and a financial dead end. We urge the ISA to #DefendTheDeep: ⏸️ Adopt a moratorium until science proves no harm ❌ Reject efforts to rush a mining code 🛡️ Defend multilateralism 🌊 Prioritize ocean health over corporate greed! DefendTheDeep.org #ISA30

The Spanish fishing industry and Spanish Members of the European Parliament are putting mounting pressure on Costas Kadis to reopen fishing grounds which have been closed since 2022.

And we are live! The PAF had its launch event at London Climate Event Week, in which our founders highlighted the need for community-led running of Marine Protected Areas. Take a look at the highlights! #MPAs #CommunityLed #OceanProtection #30x30 #ProtectedAreas

Newly released proposals for the upcoming Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species meeting include deep water sharks, threatened because of the liver oil trade. I wrote about this issue last year for Scientific American

Enough of you asked me about this that I wrote some brief thoughts on Ocean Ramsey's particular brand of pseudoscientific nonsense. I believe this addresses almost all of the frequently asked questions I receive, but as always I am happy to answer serious questions asked in good faith. 🧪🦑🌎🦈
