🌊 Young people are speaking up for our seas. Our ocean havens need meaningful protection from bottom trawling, NOW. 🗨️ "Empty promises aren’t going to cut it. We need bold action." @youth4seas.bsky.social Read the powerful piece in @scotnational.bsky.social 🔽 www.thenational.scot/politics/258...

Oil spills aren’t rare. They’re routine. 🚨 Tonnes of oil was spilled into our seas in 2025 alone, and this toxic drip feed of pollution is devastating our ocean wildlife 🌊 Take action with us today ✊ 🚫 End new oil & gas: https://act.oceana.org/page/171529/action/1?ea.tracking.id=bluesky

“How can UK Govt turn a blind eye to seafood imports that may come at the price of gross violations of human rights & destruction of ocean life?" @hugotagholm.bsky.social Govt must crack down on tainted imports so it can focus on restoring sustainable fisheries in the UK https://bit.ly/4aEU4qI

🚨 Alarms have been raised over a spike in dolphins washing up dead on Cornish beaches, with 27 strandings in January alone 💔 We don't know why these strandings have happened, there are many possibilities, from oil pollution to the climate crisis 👇 www.falmouthpacket.co.uk/news/2582689...

👩‍🔬 Meet Dr Williams, the scientist helping us uncover the untold stories of marine animals who become beached on UK shores 🐬 The health of our ocean, its wildlife & of humans is intrinsically linked. When Big Oil pollutes our seas, it harms us all ❌ ✊ Act now: https://bit.ly/490ZLPq

Irony alert! 🚨 Offshore oil projects hampered by bad weather caused by the climate crisis... caused by oil 😵‍💫 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Porpoises, whales, dolphins and more are carrying the toxins of the oil and gas industry in their bodies. Their suffering has gone unrecognised for too long.

Together, @oceanauk.bsky.social + @zslofficial.bsky.social examined research on harm to wildlife from 1000s of oil spills in UK waters, finding evidence of: - lung lesions in bottlenose dolphins - harm to the livers of minke whales - orcas + dolphins less able to successfully reproduce

Big Oil is wrecking our seas & marine life is paying the price 🐬 We're working with scientists to lift the lid on the oil & gas industry’s dirty secrets, using marine strandings to expose the truth. The data will speak for the animals that can’t. 🚫 End new oil & gas: https://bit.ly/490ZLPq

As if our seas didn't have enough to contend with, microplastics in UK waters have been found to be DOUBLE the levels previously recorded. Ocean pollution is a major threat to wildlife & research like this is critical to knowing what's really going on. Read🔽 oceanographicmagazine.com/news/micropl...

So, a new Defra report finally calls ecosystem collapse what it is: a national & global security threat 🚨 But the ocean, our BIGGEST climate buffer, is barely mentioned‼️ You can’t protect food security, stability or resilience while sidelining the sea 🌊 oceanographicmagazine.com/news/ecosyst...

🐧 Antarctic penguins are now breeding weeks earlier than ever recorded, a dramatic shift scientists link to the #ClimateCrisis These changes risk leaving chicks without food & already declining species. We must act now to limit global heating! https://bit.ly/3Z2QkJ3

🐋 Whales seem to be changing their behaviour to coexist and divide food among themselves, as the climate crisis and human pressures reshape our seas, according to a worrying new long-term study 🔽 https://bit.ly/3Z045IE

🚨 Bottom trawling is still allowed in ~95% of Scotland’s waters, including marine PROTECTED areas This highly destructive fishing is continuing to destroy habitats and threaten livelihoods. Real protection means banning it from all ocean havens, NOW! apnews.com/article/scot...

Some good ocean news 🌊🦭 Two seal pups rescued in Jersey, Sal and Bean, have been successfully rehabilitated and released back into the wild after months of specialist care. Stories like this show what’s possible when wildlife is protected, and why healthy seas matter. https://bbc.in/45rnrKj

🌡️🌊 2025 was the 3rd hottest year on record, and the last 11 years are the hottest ever measured. This is what climate breakdown looks like. Yet the UK is STILL considering new oil and gas fields?! 1/2 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

🛑 Just 3% of the most vital habitat for UK wildlife is in good condition. This MUST change. Govt just quietly released a report showing the #ClimateCrisis & water pollution are driving wildlife decline yet protections are being weakened @wclnews.bsky.social Read: www.wcl.org.uk/sickening-st...

🚨 Half the world's CO2 emissions come from just 32 fossil fuel firms, new research shows Big Oil is not only dominating global emissions. It is "actively sabotaging climate action & weakening govt ambition" We must fight back with everything we've got. #NoNewOil www.theguardian.com/environment/...

🌊 "As an ocean nation, we can & should be leading the way" @hugotagholm.bsky.social The #HighSeasTreaty has entered into force thanks to the 81 countries who ratified it. Incredible news. But where's the UK? The govt MUST move to ratify, before we're left behind www.radionewshub.com/articles/new...

🌊 Let's flip the script on #BlueMonday. Usually known as the most depressing day of the year, we're rebranding it as a day for the big blue 🌏🐋 Join us in the fight for our #ocean, there's so much to protect 💙 bit.ly/oceanauk_news

🚨 BREAKING: The High Seas Treaty enters into force today – without the UK 🌊 81 countries have ratified. The UK still hasn’t. This treaty could create the largest network of ocean sanctuaries in history. No more excuses. Ratify the #HighSeasTreaty now. 🌍✊⏳

Over half of Scots support a move away from oil & gas in favour of clean energy, new polling shows 🙌 And 75% of under 35s opposed new drilling & consider the climate crisis a key priority for the next Scottish Govt The people have spoken! #EndOffshoreDrilling www.heraldscotland.com/news/2576468...

⚠️🌊 'Forever chemicals' & mercury, which can be released into the sea by oil & gas activity, are disrupting energy production in seabirds at a cellular level, potentially affecting reproduction & flight ability - new research finds 🪶 #EndOffshoreDrilling oceanographicmagazine.com/news/marine-...

🛑 BREAKING: The UK is the world’s WORST offender when it comes to letting Big Oil drill in protected areas 🌊 ⚠️ UK Govt has already issued oil licences that overlap with 13,500km² of protected areas – nearly ten times the size of Greater London 🔽 www.thebureauinvestigates.com/stories/2026...

🚨 "Time is up: this government can no longer continue to take one step forward, two steps back in protecting UK seas. Our ocean needs more, sooner. " @hugotagholm.bsky.social @wclnews.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Heartbreaking 💔 A stranded common dolphin found washed up on a beach this weekend by our director @hugotagholm.bsky.social We URGENTLY need stronger ocean protections. Please stand with us in the fight for healthier seas and safer wildlife.

🌊 Thousands of "ocean superheroes" have arrived in Belfast in a bid to bring back native reefs that had almost disappeared! 🦪 32,000+ oysters will be placed on the seabed to form a natural reef over time - improving water quality & supporting marine wildlife. https://bbc.in/4jDEP4q

This week marks the anniversary of the Braer tanker disaster, which spilled almost 85,000 tonnes of oil into Shetland waters. Wherever Big Oil goes, environmental disaster follows. We must take a stand for our seas. Take action here: act.oceana.org/page/183508/...

🌡️ The ocean is likely the hottest it has been for at least 1000 yrs, & heating faster than at any time in the past 2000 yrs The extra heat is intensifying climate disasters, causing heavier floods, worse storms, longer marine heatwaves & rising sea levels🔽 www.theguardian.com/environment/...

#DYK Big Oil spilt over 89,000 kg of oil into UK waters in 2025? 😡 Enough! Get govt to take a stand against this relentless pollution of our ocean. Tell your MP to join our roundtable in parliament → act.oceana.org/page/183508/...
