Subtract: Plastics and Pollutants Add: Mangroves, Oysters & Native Plants = Living Shorelines fostering healthy communities #FutureFormula

As we mark International Coastal Cleanup Day, Dave Doebler and Cat Uden write about plastic foam pollution: "A material that harms people and wildlife, accelerates climate change, pollutes the air and fills the oceans with trash should be phased out." https://t.co/LFVpsRQnkL

Coastal states like Florida face growing climate threats, but we have proven ways to safeguard communities and ecosystems.

In our survey, experts share key recommendations to scale up nature-based solutions that can protect people in Florida and beyond. https://t.co/R22jqy1TQY

Ocean health is moving into a danger zone, with rampant human-caused carbon dioxide emissions having already pushed ocean acidification levels beyond safe limits in large swaths of the marine environment. 🌊

Mercury, cadmium, copper, molybdenum zinc - the collective waste of heavy industry, mining, burning oil, coal, biomass, road runoff, sewage sludge, excess phosphate fertiliser all slopping off untreated into waters, consumed by wildlife.

She is life.
Our future.
Our responsibility.

She is our ocean. 🌊
And though she faces growing threats, we still have the power to protect her. But we must #ActNow. Our voices and choices matter.

On the heels of record manatee deaths, a judge ordered Florida to stop allowing water pollution.
The state is fighting the order.
Yes, the department of environmental protection is fighting an order for them to actually protect the environment.

Coastal ecosystems including seagrasses cover only 2% of the ocean floor, but account for 50% of the carbon storage.
But human activity are destroying seagrass
Agricultural runoff can choke out seagrass, while giving rise to algae that block out sunlight.

"Moore blamed seagrass loss from too much nitrogen and fertilizer pollution, which comes from residential, commercial and agricultural development." https://t.co/PmrNMu936Y

Circled is the entire U.S. delegation to this global oceans summit, founded by the United States, usually attended by a dozen or more senior U.S. officials. USA AWOL.

The oceans face a massive and growing threat: plastics.

An estimated 33 BILLION pounds of plastic pollution enter the oceans every year. That’s why Oceana is campaigning to reduce the production of single-use plastics at the source.

"Manatees are not the only marine mammals that suffer when seagrass dies off in Florida." https://t.co/w804cSF7Cj

With the 1.5C climate target behind us, we must urgently explore nature-based climate repair. I've written today in @guardian https://t.co/VgWjFiF3EF

[WWF @WWF]

Did you know? When green turtles munch on seagrass, they make it grow better and more nutritious.

Their grazing helps the seagrass thrive, which traps sediments and protects our coastlines from erosion, storms, and rising sea levels.

[Max Chesnes @MaxChesnes]

If you’ve lived in Florida for awhile, you’ve likely noticed the degradation of our waterways: More algal blooms. Dying manatees. Rampant pollution.

Today my colleagues published a sweeping investigation showing 1 in 4 waterways are dangerously polluted

[Plastic Pollutes @PlasticPollutes]

99% of plastics are made from fossil fuels. 🏭 The plastics and petrochemical industries plan to triple plastics production by 2060. 🚫 There’s nothing eco-friendly about that! ⁠🛑 Don’t be fooled by the fossil fuel industry. ⁠#AprilFoolsDay #PlasticPollutes

[Hugo Tagholm @HugoSAS]

The plastic pollution crisis in our ocean is set to get worse. A new @oceana report reveals the shocking statistics behind the world’s most prolific plastic polluter @CocaCola It estimate Coke will drive 600 million kilos of plastic pollution to our seas annually by 2030‼️🌍⚠️

From life-saving weather warnings and cancer treatments to tech breakthroughs, federally funded science drives progress. In an open letter, the AMS urges strong federal science funding to ensure our future.
