The smartest corals in the ocean? 🌊🧠 Brain corals display Meandroid tissue integration, meaning their polyps & tissues are more closely connected than those of other corals, & are not separated by skeletal structures.

#DontVisitFaroe - have already dissuaded two friends to change their destination - actively speak out about thus. The photos speak for themselves
This needs @EcocideLaw

It’s not just what we’re taking out of the ocean that matters, but what we're putting in - old fishing nets, chemicals, and garbage!

📸 Shifting baseline syndrome has changed what we perceive to be normal. The more this baseline shifts, the greater the risk of losing vital elements of our natural #environment.

NO green light for Deep Seabed mining
Regulations delayed. No binding deadline
Discussion on moratorium for 2024
Review of ISA in 2024
Real leaders: 🇨🇱 🇨🇷 🇫🇷 🇻🇺 🇵🇼 strongly united
Assembly blockage + observer restriction = must address ISA governance deficiencies

#DontVisitFaroeIslands
We are losing biodiversity at an alarming rate for scientists and environmentalist. The #Grind this year has killed over 600 pilot whales.
This is pointless #ecocide for the sake of killing. We need @EcocideLaw

Can we get real about 'sustainable' farming in the ocean? Bottom line = ocean is suffering assault from ALL sides. this type of farming just adds to the stress and pressure. Glad to have supported this call @LivingOceansFdn

The mangrove is the ocean's Giving Tree. It provides habitat to birds, fish, invertebrates and other life, gives coastlines a break from pounding waves, and gives the planet a break by sequestering carbon. 🌳🌊 #MangroveDay

Hypocrisy
We’ve lost >70% sharks since 1970s
Apex predators keep ocean and corals healthy - losing sharks is ecocide which eventually is “peoplecide”
All sharks need urgent protection

🛢 Chemical pollution
🔊 Noise and #plasticpollution
🚢 Ship strikes

Human activity jeopardizes the safety and lives of #whales and #dolphins worldwide. Making #Ecocide an international crime will ensure they are protected from irriversible harm.

🐋 Filmmaker and whale campaigner Micah Garen has been instrumental in temporarily halting #whaling in #Iceland. This is a huge step in stopping #Ecocide from devastating #ocean ecosystems.
