Billions of litres of harmful waste are being dumped by ships in Canada’s protected waters every year. 🚢 Urge the federal government to ensure #NoDumping in MPAs means NO to ALL dumping of harmful ship waste: https://t.co/No0YiIHem9

[WWF-Canada @WWFCanada]

Our new ‘National Vessel Dumping Assessment’ found that🚢operating in 🇨🇦 waters generate 147 BILLION litres of operational waste annually—the equivalent of 59,000 Olympic-sized swimming pools! 10% of🚢waste is generated in protected waters that safeguard at-risk #wildlife.

Now is the time! Let's both address ship efficiency & underwater noise – a win-win for climate action, marine life and a more environmentally sustainable shipping industry https://t.co/cEpNAOdPMv via @WWFCanada

We're live talking about orcas 🐋

[WWF-Canada @WWFCanada]

Orcas are widely distributed in the world's oceans, but do you know how many of our oceans they can be found in? Spoiler: it's a lot! 🌊 Join WWF-Canada's Hussein Alidina and special guest, Dr. John Ford for #WildlifeWednesday to find out the answer. https://t.co/kY5QlJau4d

Thanks to the chair of this week's WG on noise at #SDC8 @IMOHQ for this tagline 'noisier guidelines for quieter ships' Too good not to use it ;)

[WWF SciComm @WWFCA_SciComm]

Together with our NGO colleagues, WWF-Canada is calling for noisier guidelines for quieter ships. The @IMOHQ needs mandatory measures to reduce underwater noise levels.

[Aurelie Cosandey-Godin, PhD @CosGodinA]

Good first steps taken this week at SDC! Let the hard work begin!

Appel à tou.te.s les innovateur.rice.s!📢Aidez-nous à trouver une nouvelle façon de mesurer le #carbone avec le Défi techno nature x carbone du WWF-Canada et vous pourriez recevoir jusqu'à 100 000 $ pour mettre en œuvre votre idée.

[WWF SciComm @WWFCA_SciComm]

Calling all innovators! 📢 Help find a new way to track #carbon with our Nature X Carbon Tech Challenge and receive up to $100,000 to implement your idea. This #tech challenge is supported by founding partner @RBC #TechForNature and national technology sponsor @microsoftcanada.

[Aurelie Cosandey-Godin, PhD @CosGodinA]

Yes to new work on reviewing and strengthening the underwater noise guidelines but a wasted opportunity to progress on other crucial topics @IMOHQ Ships will continue to burn dirty heavy fuel, release black carbon, and discharge contaminated wash water in our oceans! Read WWF ⤵️

[WWF Climate and Energy @climateWWF]

🚢❌ The 1.5% carbon intensity reduction target agreed by @IMOHQ this week is not even close to what is needed to meet the goals of the #ParisAgreement.

More must be done to reduce the shipping industry's impact on climate & nature ⬇️

[Aurelie Cosandey-Godin, PhD @CosGodinA]

Kudos to Canada and the clean water policy team @Transport_gc and partners for pushing the agenda internationally on the reduction of underwater vessel noise @IMOHQ today! Let the work begin🙌

[WWF-Canada @WWFCanada]

#Shipping is increasing at a fast pace globally—surging 300% between 1992 and 2013, and continuing to grow 2-3% per year—and is the main contributor to underwater noise pollution, threatening #whales and other #wildlife.🐋
