June 1 is #WorldReefAwarenessDay.

#CoralReefs support 25% of life in the ocean, but they are facing a growing set of climate-driven threats: warming oceans, ocean acidification, sea level rise and stronger storms.

[Hannah Rivergate @nature_techie]

@OceanPolicyCol Reefs are nature's infrastructure: storm barriers, filtration systems, nurseries. When they degrade, coastal water systems degrade with them. Protecting reefs isn't separate from water policy. It IS water policy.

Sea turtles have made an amazing comeback in Florida. Conservation efforts continue to pay dividends.

[Ocean Policy Collective @OceanPolicyCol]

@ukgovbluebelt @AscensionMPA Very good news indeed!🎉

[Ocean Policy Collective @OceanPolicyCol]

Today is #WorldTurtleDay. Our ocean serves as a habitat for seven distinct sea turtle species, many of which face growing threats from human activities and environmental change.
Their survival depends on the choices we make today to safeguard marine ecosystems

His work in film has transformed how the world sees the ocean, bringing the beauty, fragility, and importance of marine ecosystems into our homes.

Illegal and unreported fishing costs Africa an estimated US$11–13 billion every year.

Coastal nations in the Global South contribute less than 10% of global emissions yet face the harshest climate impacts.

Africa's blue economy is projected to exceed US$400 billion by 2030.
