"Circular economy principles can actually boost such systems in Africa, particularly in small-scale fisheries. Sludge from aquaculture could be re-used as fertilizer, or become feedstock for agriculture"

We expect #India to play a major role in future #shipping and #trade - with #decarbonisation and if resource constraints are addressed. Where’s net zero steel for production and sand for construction coming from? Partnerships for secondary materials will be essential. #BlueOcean
.@BleischwitzR: The demand for critical materials, driven by their applications in #high-tech and #greentransition, is projected to increase fivefold. This underscores the need for stronger #partnerships, particularly in advancing a #circulareconomy and promoting #sustainablemining practices.
#Sagarmanthan2024
.@BleischwitzR: A #circulareconomy aims to transition from a linear model to one that reuses materials, keeping them within the #economy. This approach offers two key benefits: reducing import bills for #resource-dependent countries and supporting #decarbonisation efforts.

Great workshop by @CEMarin_org and ZMT! Researchers explored synergies and joint marine science projects, opening new pathways and starting partnerships. More details: https://t.co/4emzD4V8cr
Huge thanks to all members of the audit team for encouraging us on our way & preparing us for the evaluation planned for 2027! @BleischwitzR, @mvisbeck, @CathLovelock, Bernhard Riegl, Maarten Bavinck, @AnnaK_Hornidge, @BN_FutureOcean , Andres Osorio, Joanna Staneva!
Rethinking Climate Action: Last night, Prof. Manfred Lenzen discussed how relying on growth and carbon removal overlooks alternatives like degrowth. How far are we willing to change to fight climate change? Thanks to Prof. Lenzen and all! @BleischwitzR
Das Meer als Geldanlage? Ja, aber bitte mit konkreten Nachhaltigkeitszielen und unter wissenschaftlicher Begleitung.
Hier ein guter Beitrag in @tagesschau. Dank auch an @JennerjahnTim für die Mitarbeit an der Studie für unser @LeibnizZMT

📢Today we are celebrating #WorldMangroveDay with our colleagues from the #MangroveEcology working group! Let’s join them and find out what makes mangroves such important ecosystems.🎬 https://t.co/OKloMSJb8J. 🎉 HAPPY WORLD MANGROVE DAY to you all!🎉 🌳🦀 🦐 🐅 🌊 🐚 🍃 🐒
Planted #mangrove forests can sequester 75% of the #carbon of intact stands within 20 to 40 years. This is the result of a study with contributions from ZMT’s @JennerjahnTim. The study, led by @forestservice, has just been published in @ScienceAdvances. 🔗https://t.co/oa7rJiuvW0
Guter Push für #SDG14 in #Deutschland, @OceanUnger. Dank an @BMUV und alle Beteiligten! Es wird wichtig sein, den Globalen Süden sichtbar zu machen und Ozean-Szenarien über eine Lernplattform zu fördern.
On behalf of ZMT and as a member of @POGO_Ocean, our director @BleischwitzR signed this important declaration calling for sustained, operational and coordinated biologial observation of the ocean. 🌊 See post below on how your institution can get involved ⬇
We’re all incredibly proud and pleased to see the promotion for Marie Fujitani - well-deserved and addressing the pivotal issue of future #tourism in the tropics. We also look forward to strengthening collaboration with University of Bremen!
Congratulations to Marie Fujitani who has been named as a Leibniz professor in the new round of funding by the @LeibnizWGL. She's among 8 female highly-qualified scientists from different Leibniz institutions to receive the 5-year funding. 👏 👏👏 🔗https://t.co/hsPEH6sED8

Five social science interventions for ocean sustainability initiatives
(1) Ethics for decision-making
(2) Improving governance
(3) Aligning human behavior with goals and values
(4) Addressing impacts on people
(5) Building partnerships & co-producing pathways.
ZMT has signed the #COP28 Dubai OceanDeclaration with the @ocean_pavilion and associated stakeholders calling on world leaders to recognize the importance of the ocean in climate and support efforts to expand and improve ocean observations worldwide. https://t.co/Cule2Fql60
