🚨🚨 Ocean under 'severe' stress according to the UN's latest World Ocean Assessment

URGENT global effort is needed to curb the impact of industrial fishing & the climate crisis says the damning report

The ocean is ringing the alarm. We must listen!

Biggest science discovery in centuries that shocked scientists, did not even make mainstream news
These deep sea nodules that took millions of years to create, make oxygen, sustain marine life and now are about to be destroyed in seconds by Deep sea mining billionaires

This is really stupid, and it’s not getting enough attention.

The Trump administration is pulling a working $368 million ocean monitoring system out of the water, equipment taxpayers already bought, built, and sank into the deep ocean.

And they are doing it right when the oceans are behaving in ways that alarm the scientists who study them.

Record-breaking temperatures.

A system of Atlantic currents that may be lurching toward collapse.

The response?

Yank out the instruments and walk away.

That is not budgeting. That is smashing the gauges while the engine is on fire and calling it efficiency.

For what? The Trump administration dressed it up as a “nimbler approach” and “smart lifecycle management,” which is fancy nonsense for “we shut it off and hoped nobody would ask why.” There is no return-on-investment analysis. They cannot show taxpayers save a dime, because the gear is already paid for and the science it produces protects real money and real lives.

The kicker: the same people killing the monitors want to mine the deep sea for minerals. So they are destroying the only tools that could measure what that mining does. That is not an accident.

That is the point. You cannot see the damage if you break the instruments first.

Now I get it!

I'm a grizzly.

They just decided one acre is all I need.

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service just redefined "secure habitat" for grizzly bears in Montana.

The science said 2,500 acres minimum.

They changed it to one.

No public input. No new science. Just a rewrite.

And it wasn't random. The change conveniently cleared the way for a 17,700-acre logging project cutting straight through the corridor grizzlies use to travel between two of their last strongholds in North America.

A former Forest Service wildlife biologist said it plainly: "A one-acre island of forest surrounded by roads isn't secure habitat. It's a death trap."

Courts already rejected this same playbook when agencies tried 10-acre patches near Yellowstone. They lost. Then they came back with one acre.

Who's going to tell the grizzly it only gets one acre?

Her husband told a court she was too strong to be a wife. The judge agreed and stripped Wangari Maathai of everything, her family, her job, her home.
She looked around and noticed women walking miles every single day just to collect firewood. So she handed them seeds instead. The government responded with arrests, beatings, and a padlocked office door.
30,000 women trained. 51 million trees planted across Kenya. Nobel Peace Prize in 2004. They handed her destruction. She turned it into an entire forest.

It’s time to rebalance our relationship with the ocean - our no.1 source of oxygen!

International legal recognition of #ecocide will provide a much-needed framework to protect marine ecosystems.

China’s trawlers are electrocuting the Persian Gulf to death.

Their industrial scale Pulse fishing kills everything in the water, leaving a dead ocean.

They need to be stopped before the ocean is completely lifeless.

🦑Did you know the squid you eat can come from regions linked to illegal fishing and human rights abuses?

We sampled 180 squid products in Milan and Brussels, and half of them lacked basic consumer information.
It’s time for the @EU_Commission to act 🌊
