Welcome to #EarthDay! Though there are a lot of things we need to improve on, my main wish is to help everyone realize #climatechange is real! No more Cruel Summers like this youtu.be/acSOHZvgSM8

Inspire leaders to act now to ratify the #HighSeasTreaty by #UNOC3, a key political milestone to ramp up international action to protect life in our ocean, mitigate #ClimateChange & safeguard people's livelihoods. Leave your message: highseasalliance.org/treaty-ratific… #RaceForRatification

The Manta Trust and it’s global affiliate network are the leading authority working to turn the tide for manta and devil rays. But we can’t do it alone. That’s where you come in! Any donation will be doubled this week! bit.ly/42MPq61

“The trails of destruction can be seen from space.” — Sir David Attenborough. Ahead of the premiere of his latest documentary "Ocean", Sir David Attenborough exposes the impact of #BottomTrawling on our ocean. #ProtectSeamounts theguardian.com/environment/20…

Across the world, our governments have committed to protect ocean health. Now they must act. Ending commercial #BottomTrawling trawling on #Seamounts is achievable, urgent—and long overdue. Let’s stop destroying #DeepSea for short-term gain. deep-sea-conservation.org/solutions/prot…

Sir David Attenborough's new film - Ocean - reveals the threats facing our seas Callum Roberts - who reviewed the film’s script for scientific integrity - says its stark message leaves "no space for further evasion and denial" Read more in The Conversation theconversation.com/david-attenbor…

“Attenborough invites viewers to wonder how on Earth these fishing methods are still allowed when the damage is so obvious.” We accept his invitation! This method is allowed in the majority of Scotland’s coastal waters. How on Earth? #InshoreLimit theconversation.com/david-attenbor…

Sir David Attenborough sounds the alarm on the horror of bottom-trawl fishing. He's clear: “The most important place on Earth is not on land, but at sea.” 🌊 So, let’s listen. Let's protect our ocean havens. 🚨 READ: energylivenews.com/2025/05/09/att… ✊ ACT: act.for-the-ocean.org/act/protect-uk…

1⃣ day to go! More than 250,000 Europeans are demanding that the EU #BanBottomTrawling in marine protected areas. Tomorrow, we deliver their message directly to Commissioner Costas Kadis in Brussels. The #EUOceanPact must finally ensure real protection. #ProtectedMeansProtected

Progress: New Caledonia has approved a 50-year moratorium on deep-seabed mining in its waters. The move protects ocean biodiversity–including some species yet to be discovered–while scientists can gauge the would-be mining’s impacts. pewtrsts.org/42QUWmV 📸 Simon Coppard

🚨 Sir David Attenborough's film OCEAN provides unprecedented visual documentation of bottom trawling devastation. Join us for a breathtaking journey and conversation on ocean recovery at one of the screenings of the film we will host in different countries around the globe! 🐋

In a timely comment piece in nature ahead of #UNOC3, leading ocean scientists make the case for protecting the High Seas from all extraction. Callum Roberts Emilia Dyer Sylvia A.

Top scientists call for permanent ban on high seas exploitation news.exeter.ac.uk/faculty-of-env…

Without robust Marine Protected Areas, where bottom trawling & other harmful practices are not allowed, there will be no fish left to catch. If we don't restore health to our rivers & oceans, there will be nothing left to fish. theguardian.com/environment/20…

Dragging heavy nets across the seafloor isn’t protection—it’s destruction. So why is bottom trawling allowed across Europe's "protected" areas? At #UNOC3, we're calling on governments to ban bottom trawling in marine protected areas. Ocean protection must be real protection.

As #UNOC3 ends in Nice, momentum to #DefendTheDeep is growing: ✔️ 37 countries back a #DeepSeaMining moratorium ✔️ ECJ upholds bottom-contact fishing ban ✔️ Scientists urge action to #ProtectSeamounts Now governments must act: lnkd.in/ewXdkaKR
