A historic milestone for ocean governance: Sri Lanka, St. Vincent & Grenadines, Sierra Leone & Morocco ratify the #HighSeasTreaty, to reach 60 and will enter into force January 2026 - ushering in a new era of cooperation to safeguard nearly two-thirds of our ocean! @highseasalliance.bsky.social

The U.S. bans seafood imports from 42 nations failing to prevent deadly bycatch starting January 2026! TIRN & CBD originally petitioned for this in 2008, thanks to all involved in pushing to protect 650,000+ marine mammals killed in fishing gear yearly. www.biologicaldiversity.org/campaigns/fi...

The mystery of baby sea turtles’ “lost years” is coming to light! A new study maps where hatchlings in the Indian Ocean drift and grow, revealing key corridors to protect. Every insight brings us closer to safeguarding their future.

Thank you to The Daily News Galveston & Lauren Frick for covering regulators’ denial of BP’s risky #Kaskida drilling project. BP may revise & resubmit, but groups like TIRN warn dangers echo Deepwater Horizon & urge vigilance. #GulfOfMexico #ClimateCrisis #DrillingIsKilling

@gavinnewsom.bsky.social is pushing a CEQA exemption that guts river protections & paves the way for the Delta Tunnel - threatening salmon, Tribes and fishing communities. Call your reps and email via our Action Center blog to protect California rivers and clean water💧

NOAA’s proposed rule would let companies get seabed exploration and mining permits at once - skipping science and oversight. Mining could start even if later research shows irreversible harm. The ocean’s future is at stake, act now: secure.everyaction.com/F0417ppF50yo...

This just in! BP’s 1st completely new oilfield in Gulf of Mexico since deepwater horizon is rejected by BOEM. Read the full story here and via @earthjustice.org

BREAKING: The federal government has rejected BP's proposed ultra-deepwater oil drilling project, Kaskida. BP must address serious flaws in proposal for ultra-deepwater drilling project before it can move forward.​

Encouraging news: ‪a group of Congressional leaders have urged the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management to reject BP’s proposal for the Kaskida deepwater drilling project. ​ Kaskida would be in even deeper, even riskier waters than Deepwater Horizon, which caused the worst oil spill in history.

Celebrate the National Park Service’s 109th birthday by protecting our public lands! Parks provide clean water, wildlife habitat, and cultural connections—but face threats from funding cuts and polluters. #ProtectEveryPark and advocate for stronger protections: seaturtles.org/protect-ever...

From tracking hurricanes to climate disasters, NOAA keeps us safe 🌪️⛈️🌊 But cuts put these vital services at risk. Reps. Neguse, Casar, Stanton, Amo, Hoyle & Moskowitz introduced the "Protect Americans from Climate Disasters Act" to rebuild staff, restore funding & protect life-saving data.

A new study shows sea turtles are nesting at smaller sizes, partly due to population recovery. Another factor could be bycatch — larger turtles live longer, raising their odds of being caught before returning to nest. Learn more here: doi.org/10.1111/gcb....

World leaders walked away from Geneva without a plastics treaty. Better than a sham deal, but still a gut punch for our oceans, wildlife, and communities. While they stall, we don’t have to: ditch single-use plastics, back refill & reuse, and raise your voice!

#MonarchButterflies have declined 99% in CA since the 1990s and now face a complicated fight for survival. In the Bay Area, every proposed critical habitat grove includes eucalyptus, trees that provide shelter for monarchs but also fuel wildfire fears. We must strike a balance.

Muir Woods removed an exhibit that added erased truths: Indigenous stewardship, colonial violence, and women who saved the forest. Under a Trump directive to ban ‘improper ideology,’ it’s gone — a chilling sign of history being censored. #MuirWoods #SaveOurHistory

We joined a coalition demanding that the federal government stop handing out new offshore drilling rights to companies that refuse to decommission old wells and platforms. It’s simple: if you make a mess, you clean it up. seaturtles.org/our-ocean-is...

New research finds the North Atlantic holds an estimated 27 million metric tons of nanoplastics — 10× more than previous estimates of all ocean plastics combined. These particles are up to 5 million times smaller than microplastics and can enter cells, posing risks to marine life and human health.

Dive into the proposed Galveston LNG Bunker Port... a direct threat to our Gulf Coast communities, health, and climate. But it’s not a done deal... Banks still have time to walk away. We demand they stop financing dirty LNG and invest in a truly just, zero-emission future!

Marin Water’s plan to expand Nicasio Reservoir could flood our town & push endangered coho salmon closer to extinction. We need conservation, not destruction. Learn more & take action: www.nicasio.net/flood

The U.S. may allow its first deep-sea mining lease off American Samoa—despite huge risks to fragile ocean ecosystems. Most Pacific communities oppose it. Speak up now! We must protect the deep sea, not exploit it. #DeepSeaMining #AmericaSamoa #SouthPacificOcean secure.everyaction.com/401h8fFRgk6I...

We wholeheartedly oppose the #BigBeautifulBill, which endangers our oceans and coastal communities, to say the very least. It expands offshore drilling, slashes clean energy and science funding, and gives Big Oil taxpayer handouts -putting profit over people and the planet.

Check out the awesome Kemp's Ridley sea turtle nesting season we're currently experiencing on the Texas coast this #WorldTurtleDay! As of yesterday, May 22nd, 223 nests have been recorded, 2 of which are right next to our Gulf of Mexico office on Galveston Island - seaturtles.org/turtle-count... 🌊🥚🐢

We filed a federal lawsuit over a flawed plan allowing oil and gas harm to endangered Gulf species. The suit highlights threats to the Rice’s whale—fewer than 100 remain—and sea turtles, challenging federal failures under the Endangered Species Act. seaturtles.org/lawsuit-chal...

We’re honored to be featured in the Christian Science Monitor for restoring San Geronimo from golf course to wildlife haven. Coho salmon are back, nature is thriving—proof that with persistence, recovery is possible. 🌿🐟 #Restoration #Wildways www.csmonitor.com/Environment/...

Destroying the ocean is bad business. It puts our economy in jeopardy and public health at risk. Mandating new offshore drilling would burden taxpayers with skyrocketing insurance costs. House Committee on Natural Resources: Dems, thanks for making clear the Trump Tax Scam is a bad deal!

It could all hinge on just one word... "take". Protect the #EndangeredSpeciesAct secure.everyaction.com/pY34MSTaiUSd...

As climate disasters worsen, the Trump admin is trying to dismantle FEMA... a lifeline for communities after hurricanes, fires, and floods. Turtle Island Restoration Network & 40+ orgs say: Cutting FEMA is unacceptable. Congress must protect it. We need resilience, not abandonment.

Current Admin is pushing to gut NOAA, slashing climate + ocean research by up to 75%, threatening weather forecasts, seafood safety, and coastal health. As we face climate chaos, we must resist attacks on science, respect nature, and restore what’s at risk. secure.everyaction.com/zhb8xpGAwk2q...

D.C. District Court ruled the March '23 offshore oil lease sale in the Gulf of Mexico unlawful. It sided with environmental and Gulf groups, citing Interior Department's failure to assess risks to endangered Rice's whale, climate impact and environmental justice concerns, violating federal law.

“Granting authorization of CP2 LNG will be catastrophic for both frontline communities and the environment. Ignoring the findings of the most recent DOE LNG Export Study and authorizing CP2 LNG is irresponsible and reprehensible...” Elizabeth Purcell, TIRN Environmental Policy Coordinator.

Americans want to see our leaders lower costs and protect our health and safety, not appease corporate polluters with outsized influence. As the comment period on ENERGY's LNG studies concludes, our leaders must use this input to #StopLNG.

The Senate is considering Brian Nesvik for USFWS Director. As head of Wyoming Game and Fish, Nesvik consistently supported policies that harm conservation and the ESA - failing to hold those accountable for a brutal 2024 wolf killing... as just one example!
