Eat less meat, reduce your carbon footprint. Headline says "vegan" but every bite counts. https://t.co/kTolquUcR4

I wrote about safety in the field of deep sea exploration and how OceanGate bucked established norms

Includes lengthy discussion w/ Bruce Strickrott, manager and chief pilot of Navy-owned sun Alvin, as well as interviews with @SeepExplorer and @CordesLab

Great summary of vulnerability / resilience of ecosystems to oil & gas: "Given the magnitude of the deep ocean habitats... data gaps urgently need to be addressed and the roles of deep-sea species properly evaluated" https://t.co/Fr2797QVub

Sad day for the families and friends of those lost in the #Titan @OceanGate but it doesnt change my support for human-occupied submersibles like #Alvin @WHOI which took me to 6000m last year. I’d do it again tomorrow!

[Erik Cordes @CordesLab]

Some good coverage from @c_m_dangelo on the lost sub. Still holding out hope that the assets on site can find them quickly today. No matter where we go from here, there will always be a place for manned exploration of the deep ocean.

[Chris D'Angelo @c_m_dangelo]

i talked to @CordesLab, a deep sea ecologist/explorer, about the missing sub — the banging noises, potential challenges of a recovery, air supply and more

The new High Seas treaty at the UN went into effect! Lots of hard work by @DeepStewardship to get this one to the finish line! https://t.co/n8bqgt2152

On #WorldOceanDay2023, I'm proud to share @9brandon's wonderful article, Dubious Economics of Deep-Sea Mining https://t.co/tQBdR6Od41 - I point out uncertainty & risk of investing in DSM alongside @more_whit, contextualizing @VictorVescovo's insightful and harsh economic analysis

@SteveAuscavitch @isdsc8 Congrats Steve!! Well deserved!

Happy to be representing the deep sea at the UN ICP on New Marine Technologies and their Sustainable Use. #UNGA

How many species are found in the Pacific Abyss? Our new paper says >6000 and less than 500 have names. Lots of taxonomy to do! With @MurielRabone @adrg1 @helena_wiklund @LupitaBribiesc1 @bokamero @DanielOBJones @mucofloris @NOCnews @NHM_Science

The IRA’s climate provisions are critical to our survival, and proposals to fast-track fossil fuel permitting are unacceptable. They must be off the table for debt limit negotiations. No exceptions. To build a livable future, we cannot default on climate action.

@KatyCroffBell @SteveAuscavitch @RandiRotjan @BlackCoralLab @AquaticKay2222 Could not have possibly come up with a better answer than @BlackCoralLab

[Erik Cordes @CordesLab]

Ironic to see this on display in the building in Oslo where we are meeting to discuss deep-sea coral restoration. “The oil and gas industry learns from mistakes” Do they?

[Erik Cordes @CordesLab]

Just realized that it was about this time 30 years ago that I decided to be a deep-sea biologist. Thanks @MLMLmarinesci Fitting that I am on an epic journey of research over the last few weeks including DC, NYC, Sapelo Island, NIOZ, Oslo, then Edinburgh. Science!
