When we think of mining, we often imagine big quarries. Yet #sand is the most commonly mined resource in the world — threatening valuable coastal habitats like #mangroves. Mangroves provide innumerable benefits to us, from climate sequestration to fish nurseries and more 🌿

🌿Mangroves are under threat from sand mining...the most common type of mineral #mining in the world.

🌎Sand is mined from coastlines all around the world to be used in products like concrete and asphalt...it is environmentally devastating and often destroys #mangroves

Seagrasses are among the best secret superheroes of natural climate solutions! #climatechange #naturesolutions #ClimateAction

[Project Seagrass @ProjectSeagrass]

Seagrass meadows absorb carbon from the atmosphere at a greater rate than that of tropical forests and are key in the fight against climate change 🌱

This is one of the reasons we're working hard to restore seagrass in Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Please consider helping the people of #Barbuda recover from #Irma. I work with @WaittFdn & know the money will go directly to those in need. https://t.co/qevxTOfD63

[Waitt Foundation @WaittFdn]

We set up the "Barbuda Recovery & Conservation Trust" to respond to the near total damage wrought by #HurricaneIrma https://t.co/Kago9IiLpb

Incredible visualization to put #Irma #Jose & #Katia in perspective, and see winds move across the globe #connected https://t.co/TrbgeKledL

Initial reports from #Barbuda are not good; widespread damage and reports of a single death. #Irma https://t.co/8tDjZ9br9C

[World of Blu @AWorldofBlu]

No news yet from #Barbuda since losing power from #Irma this morning. The eye was larger than the entire island. Hoping for the best. https://t.co/pt5eIRqDAg

The huge eye of Category 5 Hurricane #Irma completely engulfed the island of Barbuda last night, captured by the Suomi NPP #VIIRS overpass.

[World of Blu @AWorldofBlu]

My thoughts and best wishes go out to all those in the path of #irma. Hoping for their safety. #barbuda #HurricaineIrma #ocean #Category5 https://t.co/erXJzKQqrE

The eye of Category 5 monster Hurricane #Irma is about to engulf the small island of #Barbuda. Population ~1600.
