[Economist Enterprise @econ_enterprise]

Over the past 25 years, ocean industries have grown 1.3 times faster than the rest of the global economy. Yet, if ecosystem degradation continues, $8.5 trillion in economic value will be exposed to critical risk over the next 15 years.

Alfredo Giron Nava, head of ocean @wef and Meenakshi Wadhwa, director of Scripps Institution of Oceanography and vice-chancellor at the University of California San Diego, remind us that coral reefs, mangroves, and marine habitats aren't just environmental assets, they are productive economic infrastructure. When they suffer, ports, tourism, supply chains, and insurance costs suffer too. https://t.co/bLf4WuQVoW

[Convention on Migratory Species (CMS) @BonnConvention]

Today is #WorldSeaTurtleDay and a new report finds that tens of thousands of marine turtles are likely being lost each year after being accidentally caught in fishing gear, with CMS-listed species among the most frequently affected. ⚠️

Gillnets, trawls and longlines are identified as some of the most harmful fisheries, causing mortality through drowning, entanglement and hook injuries.

The challenge is serious, but solutions already exist. Turtle Excluder Devices, circle hooks, modified gear, safer handling & release practices, and changes in fishing methods can all help reduce turtle deaths when applied at scale. 🐢🌊
