@MissionAngola Thank you! 🙏

When it comes to the deep sea, “there may be hundreds of thousands of species that we’re still waiting to discover,” says #PewMarineFellow Diva Amon.

The only problem? Deep-sea mining could damage habitats we’re only beginning to understand. https://t.co/sZUPznu2AK

🌊 What makes good ocean reporting?

@Ocean_ORN @pulitzercenter interviewed ocean communicators and report insights on key gaps and opportunities in ocean reporting, some of which are also recognized by the #OceanISU Strategic Ocean Communication project. #OceanCommunications

👏Congratulations to Belgium🇧🇪 on the news its Federal Parliament voted in favour of ratifying the #HighSeasTreaty.

This is a key national ratification milestone along the way to Belgium joining the #RaceForRatification in time for #UNOC3.

@SchmidtOcean A peaceful treat for the eyes and ears. 🙏

“Snow was falling,
so much like stars
filling the dark trees
that one could easily imagine
its reason for being was nothing more
than prettiness.” - Mary Oliver

🌊 Ocean-based climate solutions should prioritize science-based approaches, including fully & highly protected #MPAs, Climate Smart Marine Planning, restoring blue carbon ecosystems, and reducing #GreenHouseGasEmissions across ocean industries. #COP29 #ClimateAction

Bravo and thanks to @CBD COP delegates, Secretariat, and observers for bringing new life to #EBSA process. 💙🙏🥂

[Joe Appiott @AppiottJoe]

After years of hard work by my team, and by many experts and negotiators on an issue that many felt was unsolvable, we finally gave new life to the EBSA process!

🌊 On Ocean Day at @COP16Oficial, we’re joining forces to ensure ocean #biodiversity gets the attention it deserves.

From the High Seas to the coasts, #NatureIsAlsoBlue - It’s time for greater ocean attention. Join us and our partners in supporting a Blue #COP16Colombia.

[Deep Sea Conservation Coalition @DeepSeaConserve]

As governments meet for #COP16Colombia, did you know the #DeepSea covers 90% of the marine environment 🌊and supports an extraordinary diversity and abundance of life? 🐙

Learn about these unique ecosystems that are as biodiverse as tropical rainforests: https://t.co/3a2BmrCn4e

[Communications INC @CommsINC]

🌊 While much of the conversation at #COP16Colombia will focus on terrestrial ecosystems, it is crucial that the ocean receives the attention it deserves.

The ocean community is proud to bring the #NatureIsAlsoBlue campaign to @COP16Oficial 🧵

Another amazing mound at El Quisco North, just bursting with tube worms!

It's really cool to see how the seeps here are shaping the nearby ecology - lots of fish, squid, sharks all hovering around the oasis...

Livestream (sorry, "divestream") here! 👇
