@SueReid24 @suereid I was just writing an email to raise this with you! See you there then!

[Fin Free @teamfinfree]

34 countries have called for a moratorium on Deep Sea Mining including Malta and Austria. @ISBAHQ, an international body set up by the UN manages underwater exploration and mining. Let’s raise awareness and stand up for the oceans! #sharkwater #robstewart

Plastic consumption has quadrupled over the past 30 years – driven by growing markets, single-use products, and demand for convenience.

As a result, more and more plastic ends up in our ocean. In fact, it’s estimated that there are 5.25 trillion pieces of plastic there now.

Fact: 38% of fish stocks worldwide were exploited beyond sustainable levels in 2021.

A @WTO agreement could curb the $22 billion a year in subsidies that drive overfishing—but only if it’s strengthened to fully address overfishing and overcapacity. https://t.co/m22rFUqiPc

Extractivism & human–nature bonds

A fascinating (devastating) analysis of socio-ecological conflict data in 1800+ intl cases involving resistance to the destruction of nature, cultures, cosmologies, worldviews, and ancestral origins, and sacred places

For the first time, we can put a price tag on cleaning up the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. We now call upon the world - governments, companies, individuals - to make this cleanup happen.

⛰️ Did you know that the tallest peak on the planet is half underwater? It's Mauna Kea, Hawaii, rising 10,205m from the seabed, surpassing Everest’s 8,849m!

Seamounts are #OceanLifelines, supporting the health of the whole ocean.

Interesting question by @henryzwartz as the 11th @SCAR_Tweets Open Science Conference opens: Who owns Antarctica?
True answer:
1 No one owns Antarctica, it is an integral part of the Earth system.
2 Each of us needs to do theirs to protects its future.

Whaling lies. Whale meat accounts for only 0.1% of the meat consumed in Japan 🇯🇵.

It's not a food tradition.🚫🐋

Whaling is not a significant contributor to Japan’s economy. 📈Only 300 people out of 125 million are directly connected to industry.

Greenpeace expedition finds sperm whales, orcas, dolphins in Arctic areas targeted for deep sea mining

“Norway's push for deep sea mining is anti-science, irresponsible and the opposite of what we need in the midst of an ongoing climate crisis"

#Tasmania s salmon farming is an identified threat to the survival of the #Maugeanskate

The #HighSeasTreaty could establish a framework to designate #MPAs to protect incredible biodiversity hotspots in the #HighSeas.

New polling reveals that a majority of Europeans oppose #DeepSeaMining.

This follows Malta🇲🇹 becoming the 28th country to call for a precautionary pause or moratorium on this unnecessary industry at #ISA29 yesterday.

[Deep Sea Conservation Coalition @DeepSeaConserve]

🌊🚨 Exciting news! American Samoa has adopted a #DeepSeaMining moratorium! This follows Hawaii's recent prohibition.

Momentum for a moratorium continues to grow across the globe.

Deep-sea mining is not wanted, needed or worth the risk.

Deep-sea miner trying to discredit scientists over ‘dark oxygen’ discovery met with killer clapback from author:

“We were the worst critics of this paper for a long time ... we tried to disprove it, but in the end we simply couldn’t”

We are only beginning to understand the ecology of the #DeepOcean. We have exploited, altered and destroyed so much already in the more accessible areas of the blue planet. Let's not repeat the same mistakes #StopDeepseaMining https://t.co/hSBavTpca8

🚨🚨INCREDIBLE NEW #DEEPSEA DISCOVERY🌏

Oxygen is being produced at the seafloor in a process associated with polymetallic nodules a new study reveals. This provides further support on the urgent need for a #DeepSeaMining moratorium.
