@iklectikartlab Sad news indeed. It was a pleasure to record him during that 2017 gig, 'Iklectik' which later was released on Touch. Rest well.

SMACKDOWN ALERT: Santa tells politicians that they are on his #NaughtyList for climate betrayal, stating: "Here is the truth that each one of you know: If the Earth were a bank, it’d be saved long ago." #SaveSantasHome (and all our homes too)

This is the Greenland ice sheet melting. It is an existential threat to life on Earth. #ClimateSwim

@GOBIsecretariat Many congrats Dan! I wish I could say that your work is nearly done..!

[DOSI @DeepStewardship]

Well this is pretty exciting - 3000 followers! We are so proud of everything that DOSI has achieved so far, but it couldn't have happened without you, our incredible network of experts, who work tirelessly towards achieving a healthy, sustainably managed #deepsea. THANK YOU 💙🌊

[Jeff Ardron @CharterCw]

@MarineCons @AcademicChatter Yup. And then seldom do you hear anything more from them! Did the proposal get funded? Did anyone appreciate your review..? Silence.

[Jeff Ardron @CharterCw]

@Queen_of_Marine Awesome Gemma! Congratulations! 2021 might not be so bad after all.

@ClimateGroup @GodrejGroup @gdijon Well said!

@dobura I am still in favour of open access. However, my enthusiasm has been dampened over the years. Unfortunately, the business model has demonstrated itself in the real world to be a perverse incentive for certain unscrupulous publishers to create low quality journals, and profit...

I swam here in East Antarctica to bring you this message:

Having witnessed the rapid melting in this region, I have no doubt that we are now facing a climate emergency.

At #COP26, world leaders need to step up or step aside. Time is running out.

Please share.

[Lewis Pugh @LewisPugh]

Why risk my life swimming in this utterly beautiful, but absolutely terrifying environment?

To show you first hand the rapid changes taking place in the Polar Regions.

While Australia is burning, Antarctica is melting.

Very urgent decisive action is now needed in COP26.

[Lewis Pugh @LewisPugh]

This speech on #CommonwealthDay at Westminster Abbey was one of the most important I've ever given. There is a crucial link between living at peace with the environment and living at peace with one another. Please share.

[Patricia Scotland KC @PScotlandKC]

.@PScotlandCSG sits with @NRKno to talk about how the Commonwealth countries are leading action on marine protected areas.

In the #Commonwealth, the amount of ocean protected is at least 15%, well above the international targets of 10% set by the @UN 🇺🇳

[Jeff Ardron @CharterCw]

@DivaAmon speaking 'truth to power' at #OurOcean, reiterated that MPAs are most effective when big and fully protected, from top to bottom. Everywhere, including areas beyond national jurisdictions. Yep.

[Nick Hardman-Mountford PhD, FMBA @nmco2]

Minister Cosgrow at #OurOcean2019 highlights #Seychelles progress on #BlueEconomy (with #Commonwealth support) and achievement of marine protection for 26% of EEZ. This is why they champion #MPAs for the Commonwealth #BlueCharter.

For those of you in London, tomorrow is the last day for a charitable photography show / sale held in the Cyprus High Commission, focused on corals, co-hosted by the Royal Commonwealth Society, promoting #ourCommonwealth, #Commonwealth #BlueCharter. @TheRCSLondon @CypruslnUK

Just finished reading the 45-page summary of the @IPCC Special Report on the Ocean and Cryosphere (#SROCC). Full report is over 1,000 pages and cites 700+ scientific papers. Here's a short(ish) summary of the summary:
