Sharks are vital for a healthy ocean. Instead of fearing them, we should start fearing a world without them 🌊🦈💙 #SharkAwarenessDay

“We’ve seen intense debate at #ISA28 between those who want to progress deep seabed mining, and those who are wisely choosing a more precautionary stewardship to preserve the common good of humankind.” - @Jessica_WWF #ThinkDeeply

⚕️Human health depends on a clean and sustainable environment - including a healthy #ocean. Gov't agencies that work on the environment and on health need to collaborate and coordinate to optimize outcomes for both. #OneHealth

✋ Pause to appreciate mangroves.
They provide habitat for species as diverse as crabs, sharks and bees. 🦀🦈🐝
✅They absorb massive amounts of carbon.
🌊They protect people from rising seas and storms.

Well done #Sweden !

[WWF Oceans 🌊 @WWFLeadOceans]

👏🇸🇪👏Sweden says no to mining in the deep sea until there is more knowledge.
Good that 🇸🇪 wants to see regulations with respect for deep sea life & the planet's life system! We hope Sweden will be at the @ISBAHQ meeting & participate as a responsible ocean nation! #DefendTheDeep

🧰 Coastal communities need more tools to tackle #ClimateChange. @wwfpacific @WTW_uk & @theGEF are developing insurance products to help fisher communities in Fiji & PNG be more resilient to the effects of climate hazards while protecting ecosystems. https://t.co/tzqfj2LAAi

👏🇨🇭👏 Important signal for the protection of the oceans: the Swiss Federal Council decides in favor of a moratorium on #DeepSeaMining. It joins WWF, many other NGOs, and also companies and other governments. https://t.co/r7sWdAOMun

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

Our ocean is under threat.

But the High Seas Treaty on protecting biological diversity of areas beyond national jurisdiction gives the ocean a fighting chance.

This historic achievement is an example of global threats being met by global action.
