We need clean places to bathe, in rivers as well as the sea. Supporting @sascampaigns in their work!

[Geraint Davies @GeraintDaviesMP]

We need our rivers designated so they’re safe to swim in 🏊‍♂️ so let’s work with ⁦@sascampaigns⁩ to do this

[Wildlife and Countryside Link @WCL_News]

Our misuse of the marine environment over the past century has left many ecosystems struggling🐟

If allowed to recover, our ocean would store more carbon & boost nature🌊

Read our new blog from @mcsuk for more on the importance of #bluecarbon ecosystems

[Professor Chris Whitty @CMO_England]

Keeping human faeces out of the waterways people use recreationally is a key public health intervention.

Water companies can and should act on sewage and effluent discharge.

We lay out why and how below.

The system we really can’t afford to let fail is nature. Particularly the ocean ecosystem. 🌍🌱🌊💙✊

A Private Member's Bill is coming up in the Lords tabled by Tory @uxbridgewalrus on the issue of #BottomTrawling but will the Govt listen to good sense?

[Ocean Conservation APPG @OceanAPPG]

@Sealemonsrock @WCL_News @Natures_Voice @sascampaigns @BD_Stew Thanks so much for joining us and inspiring us to be the voice of the ocean in parliment

I'm late with the photo, but had a really interesting hour with groups who care passionately about the state of our ocean, including @sascampaigns

[United Nations @UN]

By 2050, there could be more plastic than fish in the ocean.

We all have a role to play to #SaveOurOcean & our future.

See how on Wednesday's #WorldOceansDay: https://t.co/QtPJbVXpcf

[COP26 @COP26]

Happy #WorldOceansDay 🌊🪸🐠

Without a healthy ocean, there would be no life as we know it.

Ahead of #COP27, the world must work together to deliver the commitments of the #GlasgowClimatePact to protect and conserve our oceans 💙

[All-Party Parliamentary Group on the Environment @EnvironmentAPPG]

#WorldOceansDay 🌊🪸

🗣 Healthy oceans not only sequester carbon - vital for tackling climate change - but they're an economic asset too, helping to keep communities and whole industries afloat.

[Alberto Costa MP - South Leicestershire @AlbertoCostaMP]

On #WorldOceansDay it's crucial that we highlight the tremendous importance of our oceans.

We need healthy oceans to tackle climate change and must protect our oceans from plastic pollution, hence why I'm delighted that the @APPGPlastics is doing such important work on this. 🌊

[Selaine Saxby @SelaineSaxby]

This #WorldOceansDay good to be with the @OceanAPPG @sascampaigns talking about Marine Protected Areas with @Natures_Voice and what else we can do to improve the health of our oceans 🐬🌊

[Ocean Conservation APPG @OceanAPPG]

Thankyou to @WCL_News and our secretariat @sascampaigns for organising such a great event. We go away inspired to do all we can to protect and restore the ocean. Happy #WorldOceanDay 🌊🐳🐋🐙

[Ocean Conservation APPG @OceanAPPG]

Today we are celebrating #WorldOceansDay with a reception discussing the importance of a well managed #MarineProtectedArea network.

[Ocean Conservation APPG @OceanAPPG]

Dr Bryce Steward @yorkuniversity tells us how #MarineProtectedArea around the #isleofarran and #isleofman have seen marine environment recover at an astonishing rate. These case studies are real testament to the effectiveness of #mpas and community engagment

[Alice Watson @alicee_watson]

On Wednesday 25th 6:30-8:00pm we will be holding a parliamentary reception to spark conversations on the vital role that our ocean plays in helping us tackle the climate and nature crises 🌊🐳
