The UK is supporting the crucial Our Ocean Conference this week. It’s a big moment in the 2022 ocean calendar & builds on efforts at #COP26 to highlight the importance of ocean-climate action. Thrilled we are also providing more UK support for Global Fund for Coral Reefs. #OurOceanPalau

"The #HighSeas belongs to everyone, but it's no one's responsibility. The international community has come together and we've been working together for a long time to reach a legally binding instrument." - Angelique Pouponneau during #HighSeasTreaty webinar hosted by Mahi a Rongo | Helen Clark Foundation


"Coastal flooding are getting worse causing #SeaLevelRise and habitat loss. By protecting them, we protect ourselves. One science-based solution is to ensure that the #HighSeas has got a Treaty to stop damaging practises." – Jason Hall-Spencer, speaking at #COP26. #HighSeasTreaty

📣The shortlisted projects of the second wave of Ocean Risk and Resilience Action Alliance's Ocean Resilience Innovation Challenge, ORIC, will be announced next week. 🥁 👀 All of the projects are working with and within local communities to help build coastal resilience and reduce ocean risk. 💪

Are you ready? The UN negotiations for a #HighSeas Treaty open again tomorrow. Today we installed original artwork by Mathias Horne at the UN, as part of an exhibition on the biodiversity we can save with a robust outcome. Stay with us for updates on progress #ListenToTheOcean
