MarineBON

The Marine Biodiversity Observation Network (MBON) is the marine thematic network under the GEO BON. We are a community of practice to observe life in the sea.

[MarineBON @MarineBON1]

🚀 We're excited to share that the MBON website has a fresh new look!
It's now easier than ever to explore who we are, what we do, and how we're working to advance collaboration across the MBON community.
Take a look and let us know what you think! 🔗 https://t.co/cIkxkuVUA4

[IUCN @IUCN]

With threats including #deforestation and pollution, 50% of the world's mangrove ecosystems are at risk of collapse.

An assessment from IUCN Red List of Ecosystems shows nearly 20% of the assessed #mangroves are classed as either Endangered or Critically Endangered.

Every citizen science observation has the potential to inform ocean research.

The Ocean Decade Citizen Science Data Sharing Guidelines, supported by @FondationEngie, help make that possible.

The #StarfishBarometer2026 is out now and available to read in the State of the Planet journal, and the diagnosis is clear: ocean degradation is continuing and accelerating, while responses remain insufficient.

Key findings cover:

🔵 A deteriorating ocean, with early signs of acceleration

🔵 Human pressures structurally unchanged

🔵 Rising human and economic costs

🔵 Real but insufficient progress

🔵 Shrinking observation systems
