@MoHU_En ‼️ One ladies' tent in Mina has been blasting music since 6 am nonstop. None of the staff (Ah Rajhi) are doing anything to turn it off. The noise is so loud the women are suffering. We did not come to Mina to be tortured by music. Please correct this, it's unacceptable

Hey BC. Your chance to get guilt-free prawns. Delicious AND sustainably fished. Most shrimp & prawns are bottom-trawled or cultured in very problematic ways... and should be avoided. But you can delight in spot prawns. Trap caught w tight management. https://t.co/8vn0HG0ZBF

We need to take a minute and seriously ask ourselves, why is it even a question whether Indigenous communities deserve clean drinking water or not?

It's a matter of priorities, and if I was Prime Minister, I'd get it done. #elxn43

These striking photos help explain why plastics stay in the news /get the attention even tho' fisheries & climate crisis are SO much bigger issues for the ocean. So, please... tweet your most compelling images of fisheries and climate threats. https://t.co/pFUsvImz0E

Mom bought some fish and I was wary about the lack of info (the supermarket label only said "Ocean Perch") so I looked it up (parameters: acadian redfish, imported). According to @SeafoodWatch, it's @MSCecolabel certified, yet is caught by bottom trawl in Atlantic Canada. Sooo...

Food for thought - Namibia is successfully integrating social, economic, and ecological needs to conserve its large animals. Why, then, do we criticize them for not adhering to our Western ideologies? https://t.co/Ag7pOLVHHW via @dailymaverick

*Jurassic Park theme song in the background*
Deep in the Fraser lurks the dinosaur fish. It's been around for millions of years, but it's dying out due to anthropogenic pressures. Can we resurrect the population of white sturgeons?

In the article: "But it needs to be reiterated that the ocean is in danger. The impacts of climate change and illegal, unregulated, and unreported fisheries are the main challenges that the ocean faces." @water_nomad What would be your immediate approach to solving these issues?

[Zaynah 🐙 @ZaynahNK]

Just read a piece by Dr. Lucy Woodall, @water_nomad. It was amazing to see the main messages I learned in my marine conservation class reiterated by an inspiring, passionate woman in science. #OceanConsvnUBC https://t.co/puP6intM2P
