Bonjour, Nice! 🇫🇷 Excited to celebrate science progress at the One Ocean Science Congress and then leap into the United Nations Ocean Conference If joining, let’s catch up 👋

🌊🗑️🛰️ A new life highlight: telling UK Parliament we’re living in a litter sandwich Plastic below in the ocean, debris above in Earth’s orbit. I shared how: 1. We need space literacy 2. Prevention > clean-up 3. We must act fast, before we repeat old mistakes

🦺How can we ensure a safe operating environment in space❓ 📢Today at 3:35pm, the Committee will hold an oral evidence session on space debris with ⭐Prof Don Pollacco, Warwick University ⭐Prof Hugh Lewis @unisouthampton.bsky.social ⭐Dr Imogen Napper @imogennapper.bsky.social, @plymuni.bsky.social

@minderoo.bsky.social Indian Ocean Forum 🇦🇺 Building a collective Indian Ocean voice for the United Nations Ocean Conference Key takeaways: 1️⃣ Capacity sharing not capacity building 2️⃣ Better ways to communicate science 3️⃣ Parachute science, breaking barriers & supporting local knowledge

Edinburgh Ocean Leaders 2025 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 48 people from 30 countries, sharing experiences and supporting each other navigating ocean careers A week of feeling grounded in a pretty bonkers world

2025 = Ocean Year 🇹🇿 Regenerative Ocean Week: 300+ people aimed at turning science→solutions 🌊 First regional High Seas Treaty Workshop: 105 ppl, 14 Govs ♻️ ISLANDPLAS launch: circular econ. of plastics for islands ⛵️ Great Blue Wall expedition ODISEA launch: new platform for local research

🗺️ Our new map reveals Big Oil's pollution using govt data. But did you know we can also track these spills from #space? 🛰️ Satellite technology can help expose chronic oil leaks & spills, as explained by SkyTruth CEO John Amos ⬇️

What a welcome to the Seychelles! 🇸🇨 We have joined the Odisea boat during a section of their Great Blue Wall expedition The boat is providing a platform for local scientists to come onboard and conduct research in remote areas

🚨 New paper by @imogennapper.bsky.social Richard Thompson and others 👇 Citizen science reveals litter trends in the UK: Population density effects on coastal and inland regions www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... #CitizenScience #PlasticPollution #Wastemanagement #Plastic

🎬 That’s a wrap on Regenerative Ocean Week A powerful week to discuss: - Bridging science & business - Innovators pitching ocean solutions - Bringing local research & stories into communities - Unlocking funding for grassroots initiatives 🇹🇿 Hosted around the beautiful coast of Dar es Salaam

‼️ EXPOSED: Oil companies are using UK seas as a dumping ground, harming wildlife & poisoning marine protected areas. Enough is enough. We're challenging the latest oil & gas licences in court next month. Watch this space. The end of #BigOil’s reign is drawing near.

📆🎉 Welcome to the first day of the Regenerative Ocean Week based in Dar es Salaam 🇹🇿 The theme is ‘Science to Solution’ A room full of politicians, scientists, innovators and conservationists all aimed to help the ocean thrive 🎤 You can find me today mixing the tech deck

🏝️ Kicking off the first ISLANDPLAS training meeting in Zanzibar! 🇲🇺🇨🇻🇰🇲🇲🇬🇸🇹🇸🇨🇹🇿 This three-year project is focussed on seven African Islands It aims to enhance the livelihoods of individuals in the informal waste sector & reduce #plastic waste through local circular economy innovation

🌊 Passionate about the oceans? We are looking for a programme delivery and operations officer to join the IUCN Eastern and Southern Africa office This would be in a deputy regional head role Let me know if you have any questions and take a look 👇 hrms.iucn.org/vacancy/7111...

Bye Plymouth 👋 It’s been the best 10 years, but time for a new chapter

🌊 🛰️ Our oceans and orbits have something in common: both are filling up with debris Our new paper in One Earth @cp-oneearth.bsky.social ( funded by National Geographic), explores how ocean conservation lessons can guide the sustainable use of space 🧵 rb.gy/i4fjaa

Working with @imogennapper.bsky.social, we call for a sustainable development goal for Earth's orbit. Don't repeat the mistakes of the ocean... a global commons should not be left as a free-for-all. authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S...
