A spectacular sight 1225m (4019 ft) beneath the waves off Baja California as EVNautilus encounter the amazing Halitrephes maasi jelly.

A beacon of hope in the Caribbean! Yesterday, the Dominican Republic made a giant leap for ocean conservation by protecting 30.8% of their territorial waters.

On a recent expedition exploring the Pacific Abyssal Plains, our #deepsea research team captured footage of a 𝘊𝘪𝘳𝘳𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘶𝘮𝘢 𝘤𝘧. 𝘮𝘢𝘨𝘯𝘢 from the deep-sea lander camera at 4800m. This is a rare sighting of a deep-sea cirrrate octopod at this depth.

The debate over Deep Sea Mining is intensifying. It's no secret I'm firmly against it not just for environmental reasons, but because I firmly believe it just won't work financially or technically. The Ocean Foundation just published a great new analysis: oceanfdn.org/new-analysis-b…

🚨we only have a few hours to save #RestoreNature 🔥

We just heard EPP Group & some Renew Europe want to side with the far right & kill this essential law for our future ❌

Vote is at 12, tag EPP & Renew + individual MEPs & tell them to be on right side of history 🔥

Merci Radio Monaco de m'avoir reçue pour parler du vote historique de l'European Parliament contre la décision de la Norvège d'ouvrir la voie au #DeepSeaMining en Arctique, et demandant aux Etats de rejoindre le moratoire ❤️🇲🇨

Following a historic vote at the European Parliament expressing concerns on 🇳🇴's decision to open #DeepSeaMining in the Arctic, MEPs Catherine Chabaud & Pascal Canfin from Renew Europe call on 🇳🇴 to reconsider this decision.

When deep-sea mining—one of the most controversial items on the agenda at #CMSCOP13 —was broached in plenary, a Samoan delegate urged for a precautionary approach: “We can only guess at the damage & loss of species & habitats it will bring.” #migratoryspecies #natureknowsnoborders

How big a hypocrite is Norway, Financial Times asks, with its plans for deep sea mining & oil drilling in the Arctic while claiming to be green

As the world’s largest companies & plenty of countries say no to mining the oceans, this leaves 🇳🇴 “in awkward company”
