This week, diplomats, scientists & ocean advocates are at the #UNOceanConference in Nice, France. Top issue: Doing a better job of observing the ocean. Scripps Oceanography Director @msleinen.bsky.social is among the signatories of "No Data, No Action," a call by @pogo-ocean.bsky.social. 🧵⬇️

It’s UN World Oceans Day. The ocean is in crisis. One day later, ZMT researchers are at #UNOC3 in Nice. Why are they attending – and what do they expect? Swipe for some voices from the ZMT team. (1/2) #ZMT #UNOC3 #SaveOurOcean #OceanAction #MarineScience #MarineResearch

🌊 It’s #WorldOceanDay! 🌊 As part of the European #ANERIS project, citizens in 8 countries – including Belgium – are testing how #eDNA can trace marine life in water and sand. 🧬Training sessions for citizens are held in the context of World Ocean Day. 💧

Every marine organism leaves traces of itself in the water; tiny fragments of skin, mucus, or waste that contain its DNA. But how can we harness these invisible clues to better understand & protect #ocean life? 🌊 🔗 www.mba.ac.uk/what-is-edna... #eDNA #WorldOceanDay #Conservation
