#InOtterNews: A study @MontereyAq reviewed 100 yrs of kelp map data, revealing that where sea otters have thrived, kelp has too. Despite 7% overall decrease in kelp across CA, Central CA kelp has increased 58%! The biggest factor that drove kelp survival: #seaotter density. 🧵👇

Join me in signing this petition to urge the U.S. to take strong action on plastic at the Global Plastics Treaty coming later this month.

Around 12 million tons of plastic enter the ocean each year, and the problem is only getting worse. There is No Time to Waste - now is the time to urge the U.S. government to be leaders of the Global Plastics Treaty. @POTUS @StateDept Sign this petition: https://t.co/ZpBJOwheiM

Many thanks to @CAGovernor @GavinNewsom and @CalRecycle staff for issuing draft regulations to reduce single-use plastic packaging and foodware by holding producers responsible. It's huge milestone and something we must do on a national and global scale! #SB54 #PlasticPollution

[Margaret Spring @_MargaretSpring]

Many thanks to @CalRecycle and @CAgovernor Newsom for the significant effort and time invested in drafting the #SB54 regulations ahead of schedule! The @MontereyAq is looking forward to reviewing of our nation's strongest plastic pollution regulations. #plasticpollution

This is such good news! Bringing wildlife back to help restore wetlands is an important way to support #NatureBasedSolutions to the #ClimateCrisis.

Thank you, @AGRobBonta for recognizing the importance of our ocean and everyone here advocating for it in Sacramento today! #OceanDayCA

[Rob Bonta @AGRobBonta]

The Pacific Ocean is CA’s crown jewel—but it isn’t just beautiful to admire, it’s key to our environment, economy, & identity.

On #OceanDayCA, and every day, I stand with those advocating on behalf of the ocean, and pledge to keep working to protect it for generations to come.

[Julie Packard @juliepackard]

Thanks @AGRobBonta and staff for your leadership to enforce the California law requiring plastic grocery bags to be actually recyclable! You're holding manufacturers accountable for their marketing claims and ensuring #plasticpollution doesn't end up in our ocean or communities.
