If what you’re doing is actively making the situation worse then YES doing nothing is better - watching @WhySharksMatter serving a side of truth at #SharksInternational2022 has absolutely made my year

Azores kicks off day 3 announcing 30 by 2023…! And goes a step further by explaining exactly HOW this designation of protected area will happen.

[Mads St Clair @mads_ocean]

"Declared" protected areas - lots of talk on legislative protection. Now let's talk enforcement, financing & on-the-ground action for MPAs. #UNOC22

“We have to take care of the ocean. We must take care of nature as if our lives depend on it - because of course they do.” - @SylviaEarle #UNOC2022

[Mads St Clair @mads_ocean]

Ambitious target from Colombia - 30 BEFORE 30. Let's push to make this the status quo

[Mads St Clair @mads_ocean]

We have been really good at destroying. We can turn from killing to look at a new way for caring for nature - Remarks from Dr @SylviaEarle as she takes the stage at #UNOC22

[Women in Ocean Science @WomeninOceanSci]

Audience question on why the gender panel does not include more women, nor young women (and rightly so). It appears many side events have been combined into one - raising Qs on how we can retain integrity of female empowerment conversations without just "ticking the gender box"?

[Sian Henley @drsianhenley]

Challenging words from PM of #Belize: the selfish acts of a few cannot undermine the prosperity & survival of us all. Mother Earth is the strongest voice of all, and she has many more votes & a much longer memory than any of us. #UNOceanConference2022

[Mads St Clair @mads_ocean]
