Marine turtles often swim across borders and through international waters, while facing multiple threats such as bycatch, poaching and climate change. By protecting blue corridors, we can help safeguard these species and ocean health. #WorldSeaTurtleDay wwf.panda.org/wwf_news/pre...

From new MPAs to progress on the #HighSeasTreaty, #UNOC3 delivered vital momentum for ocean conservation. But unless we tackle the #climatecrisis, marine ecosystems will continue to unravel. The ocean is sending distress signals—we must act before they are irreversible. wwf.panda.org/discover/oce...

Countries have committed to put a stop to shark and ray extinction at #UNOC3, with a new coalition launched to better collaborate on ending overfishing and habitat loss threatening marine life. #SaveOurSeas @iucnshark.bsky.social @sscmarine.bsky.social wwf.panda.org/wwf_news/pre...

🌱 WWF's work in SWIO region is a UNEP World Restoration Flagship! "Biodiversity protection, climate action, and economic development are deeply connected. To deliver our restoration goals, our ambition must be as big as the ocean we must protect.” #GenerationRestoration youtu.be/zwTxkpeOMSM?...

More than 90 countries have issued a "wake up call" on #PlasticPollution at #UNOC3. Backed by France - the statement declares the critical need for reaching consensus on a legally binding global plastics pollution treaty in August.

"If we protect the ocean, it can help us in the fight against climate change. Seagrass beds, whales, healthy fisheries, the deep-sea, all help capture carbon," says WWF's Jessica Battle. "Action needs to start now, and we need money behind these pledges." #UNOC news.cgtn.com/news/2025-06...

WWF's Ocean Practice Leader Pepe Clarke talks about #UNOC3 as the point when we decide to turn things around for our #ocean. 🐟 Rebuilding fish stocks 📈 Increasing ocean protection 💰 Financing the sustainable blue economy @media.panda.org #TeamOcean #OceanFilm youtu.be/yKTbWX5F6lo?...

Big news for the #HighSeas from #UNOC3. "Once the treaty enters into force, it will enable the establishment of networks of MPAs, and ensure that no new activity with significant impact on marine life can go ahead without an impact assessment." wwf.panda.org/wwf_news/pre...
