What stays with you after an Our Ocean Conference is rarely the announcements. It is the people, and #OOC11 in Mombasa delivered on that front. Governments, journalists, civil society, and the behind-the-scenes teams who make it all possible. Eight months of preparation. Five days of delivery.

The Our Ocean Conference is also an opportunity for the wider communications community. Journalists, storytellers & ocean communicators have a part to play. Storytelling is a form of participation: https://communicationsinc.co.uk/stories-with-impact-communications-inc-and-the-our-ocean-conference/

Our team is on the ground in Mombasa for Our Ocean 11. We are looking forward to seeing the ocean community come together and drive action forward. Attending? We would love to connect. #OurOceanKenya #OOC11 #OceanComms #OceanEvent

Communicating ocean progress is harder than it looks. Lead with 10.01% protected and you tell a story of momentum. Lead with 1.3% effectively managed and you tell a story of accountability. Both are true. www.unep-wcmc.org/en/news/worl... #Community30x30 #30x30 #TogetherForTheOcean #MPAs

The latest analysis from @colorado.edu 's MeCCO shows a 14% decline in global media coverage of climate change & global warming in 2024-25. Telling the 'climate story' has never been more important, but reaching audiences with relatable stories which make climate relevant to everyday life is key.

For those attending #OSM26 and working at the intersection of ocean science and policy, this is a timely reminder. Risk communication is not just about presenting data. It is about meeting people where they are, grounding messages in values, and making participation possible. #OceanComms

🚨The political effects of X's feed algorithm, in Nature: " .. initial exposure to X’s algorithm has persistent effects on users’ current political attitudes and account-following behaviour, even in the absence of a detectable effect on partisanship."
