Everyone, look at this huge black coral! 🪸 Researchers and rangers spotted this enormous beauty while diving in Fiordland, New Zealand. It's about four metres high and four and a half metres wide. To reach that size, it could be some 300 - 400 years old! champ.ly/U33ld3U6

Holy wow, +3.5 ppm CO₂ last year, up from +2.4 ppm average the past decade, and +0.6 ppm in the 1960s. It gets scarier the closer you look at it. All this is a stress test for the planet, and it's buckling. Two big reasons for the massive increase: wildfires, and the ocean sinks are shutting down.

Deep-sea mining is a false solution to our challenges (commentary) news.mongabay.com/2025/08/deep...

I'm quoted in this very interesting piece about the ongoing stalemate at the ISA over seabed mining regulations, and how to respond to the US's move to unilaterally license deep seabed mining. grist.org/oceans/the-i...

« The global footprint that is causing a decline of corals and so much else is from the much smaller number of high-income consumers and economies. Until that is understood and they transform what they’re doing, we won’t be able to resolve the challenges at the bottom end of the income pyramid. »

Fiji, France, Canada & more say NO to #DeepSeaMining. 350,000+ have joined the call—add your voice before the UN Ocean Conference this June. Add your voice: change.org/nodeepseamining

SWAN has joined the call for a moratorium on deep-sea mining. Up to 90% of deep-sea species are still unknown & mining would destroy habitats millions of yrs old-with no method of restoration. Organisations & individuals can sign an open letter to world leaders. www.theoceanandus.org/uploads/1/2/...

Over the past decade, marine biology has seen a multitude of exciting discoveries that have broadened our understanding of the ocean. From new species & ecosystems to solutions to mitigate #ClimateChange, these are the breakthrough discoveries of the past decade. Tell us which is your favourite ⬇️

Because clean water is woke? Or so that the oligarchs can just do their thing and poison Americans? No language, no data, no regulations, no problem. What a bunch of dangerous, self-serving pieces of s*it

Deep-sea mining for rare minerals to go into electric car batteries and smartphones could threaten the midwater zone, a hidden ecosystem that sustains life across our planet. An oceanographer explains how sediment plumes from mining may disrupt this delicate environment: buff.ly/TbOJpdu

Jeffrey Goldberg thinking he was being pranked and then realizing he was actually just in the war plans group chat is such a good microcosm of how it feels to be alive right now, everything seems fake until you realize it’s actually real and incredibly stupid

Here I react to the shameful encounter between American leaders and media and the Ukrainian president. No doubt there were more, but I saw five failures on our side: of hospitality, decency, democracy, strategy, and independence. Please watch and share. snyder.substack.com/p/five-failu...

Vampire squid (Vampyroteuthis infernalis) – When threatened, it doesn’t attack—it inverts itself into a spiky, unappetizing ball. The lesson? Sometimes, the best way to fight oppression is to make yourself impossible to swallow. 🌊🦑 #DeepSea #Resistance

Hoping to bring some brightness to the day with my new piece ‘Salawati’, inspired by the beautiful Raja Ampat coral reefs. Made with #ghostgear

Happy Holidays 💙🌟🪸

Just one more month to visit the exhibit at the town hall of La Celle Saint Cloud! Am thrilled to be showing 14 pieces along with the works of underwater photographers Alexis Rosenfeld, Jason Caires Taylor, and numerous other artists. If you are visiting Paris it’s a short train ride away :)
