Plastic makes up 80% of all marine debris found from surface waters to deep-sea sediments, it threatens food safety and quality, human health, coastal tourism, & contributes to climate change.

No one believed the first report of the sighting. Surely it’s not a repeat of 2016? Isn’t that wild pig that’s fooled us before? But then there was video.

Sadly likely another refugee of land use change and hope it’ll find a safe habitat back in Johor.

🚨Baby turtle alert! 🐢
About 120 Hawksbill Turtles (Eretmochelys imbricata) have hatched along our shores at East Coast Park! They all made it to sea safely 😊

If you spot any hatchlings or a nesting turtle, do keep a safe distance. More info at https://t.co/6wTEXmb3UT

#Science #policy isn’t just political dialogue but also outreach, fresh insights and policy adaptation-informing a treaty on protecting Earth’s ozone to influencing one that addresses HFC drawdown and encourages greater #energy efficiency. ⁦@AGU_Eos⁩ https://t.co/VUB5cBtke5

Marine heatwaves have increased in frequency by 50% in the past 10 years.

By investing in Nature-based Solutions and ambitiously reducing #FossilFuel-based emissions we can limit the impacts of the #ClimateCrisis

[IUCN @IUCN]

Invasive alien species (IAS) are one of the biggest causes of biodiversity loss and species extinctions, and #ClimateChange compounds the problem.

We need solutions that consider the links between the two issues.

What are the perspectives through which people relate to nature? Why are they important?🌿🙏

@ipbes #ValuesAssessment presents 4 general perspectives to make new typology of values useful for decision-making. These are: living from, with, in & as nature.

Civil society and academe were significant contributors and supporters of the policy transformation btw coastal development and marine conservation. #community collaboration remains a critical enabler in efforts to protect marine #biodiversity under intense urban pressure.

Once a ship sinks, where does its fuel go? Exactly. Marine pollution from sunken vessels is predicted to reach its highest level this decade, with 8,500+ shipwrecks at risk of leaking around 6 bn gallons of oil.
