If you're curious about how UK retailers are progressing toward halving the environmental impact of shopping baskets (including marine 🐟) by 2030, check out our latest report.

Spoiler alert: There's still a lot of work to do! 🌍

🐋Happy #WorldOceanDay. Together the 🇬🇧 & Overseas Territories are the 5th largest marine estate, where small island communities make a big difference:
🐧 millions of #penguins
🪸enormous #coral reefs
🏝️@UNESCOUK sites
🐋🐢 globally breeding grounds
🦀 marine protected areas

The best place to relax is near water.

After just 2 minutes of viewing water outdoors, blood pressure and heart rate drop. It's more calming to look at a lake, pool, or stream than trees or grass.

Beaches are popular for a reason. Wider bodies of water bring more tranquility.

#GlobalPlasticsTreaty

[Heather Koldewey @HeatherKoldewey]

📣Important #newpaper from @Jessicasavage29 and our great team on origins of plastic pollution in an important ocean wilderness area.
Spoiler ‼️ mostly from @Danone and @CocaCola. Extended producer responsibility essential in #GlobalPlasticsTreaty

[Alice Chamberlain @AlChamberlain_]

The most insane amount of plastic I have ever seen.

Loved being apart of this project. Read the paper here ➡️ https://t.co/toq7Gj3GLN

And congrats @Jessicasavage29 and team 🌊

[Jessica Savage @Jessicasavage29]

Really excited and proud to see my first PhD publication come out today. We investigated the origins of plastic pollution in the Chagos Archipelago, a remote Marine Protected Area. 🏝🌊

Botum Sakor NP provides shelter for some of Asia’s most Critically Endangered wildlife

It was a privilege to learn from the team at Cardomom tented camp about their work to support the conservation efforts of the @WildlifeRescue rangers to tackle illegal logging & poaching

There is no denying that #HaLongBay is breathtakingly beautiful but it is heartbreaking to see it flooded with #plasticpollution

In just 10 minutes I counted 74 floating pieces of #plastic (on the @DebrisTracker app) of which most pieces were chunky pieces of #polystyrene 👎

NZ has the highest proportion of #endangered species of any other country in the world

LOVED learning all about how the incredible teams at #SLS, detection dogs of @docgovtnz & @BirdLife_SA are tackling invasive species to help native birds on #smallislands thrive & sing again

We saw a wild kiwi!

Huge thanks to Ian @ Okarito Kiwi who shared his expertise to help us track & observe the local kiwi population in Okarito - only possible thanks to the extensive predator trapping in NZ 👏

Too busy kiwi spotting for pics so stole this one from Ians website

Kea are an Endangered species of parrot endemic to the South Island of New Zealand

This weekend I was lucky enough to witness the incredible work of @keaconservation who are using tags to monitor the life cycle, productivity & predator impact of Kea living within Mt Aspiring NP

🧠 Trying to get your brain around all of the new plastic research?

Me too…

So in an attempt to help my brain, we wrote a an open-access review!

5️⃣ We highlight research developments within the last 5 years
