Southern resident killer whales face extinction within two generations, according to new research led by #PewMarineFellow Rob Williams.

One solution? Mandatory ocean noise caps would allow killer whales to hunt prey more effectively. pew.org/4b6t8xs

How can we help protect the Antarctic Peninsula from mounting threats?

Marine scientists agree that the harmonization of conservation actions is needed. Here's what that could look like in Antarctica. #CCAMLR 👇 pew.org/3QrlqWZ

Offshore wind means business. And work.

By 2031, #Louisiana alone stands to gain 3,700+ new supply chain jobs—construction, civil engineering, rigging, welding, and more—a new Pew-backed report finds.

25 countries have said no to #DeepSeaMining .

The science is clear— #SeabedMining could cause irreversible harm to an incredibly sensitive ecosystem. pew.org/3JOP8kZ

The Antarctic Peninsula is facing several threats to its ecosystem such as:
🔹Climate change
🔹Concentrated fishing
🔹Pollution

But combining science-backed conservation actions can help re-establish harmony in the Southern Ocean. pew.org/3QrlqWZ

Greenhouse gases fuel sea-level rise, more frequent storms, coastal flooding, and other climate effects.

If states protect them, #BlueCarbon ecosystems can lock these harmful gases in soil and organic material for thousands of years. pew.org/48Evp1M

Since 1980, California has had 46 extreme weather events costing at least $1 billion in damage.

A coalition is urging for a historic investment of $10 billion to help build climate resilience in the state for those who need it most. 📸 Getty Images pew.org/3WpRo9E

I'm mesmerized by the mysterious deep-sea, home to abundant, diverse and unique life in harsh conditions. Yet, threats like #DeepSeaMining endanger this unseen world. On #DeepDay , let's spotlight the need to safeguard our ocean's depths. 🌊🐙

The deep sea is home to unique creatures found nowhere else on Earth, from the dumbo octopus to the faceless cusk.

Research shows noise generated by one seabed mining site could travel hundreds of miles, with unknown environmental consequences. pew.org/3Qy0AVQ #DeepDay

Unbelievable find! Scientists have discovered 20,000+ octopi clustered around deep-sea volcanic springs—the largest known ‘octopus garden’ to date.

This discovery highlights how much we still don’t know about the deep sea. ow.ly/TRMy50RxUPU #DeepDay

Deep-sea mining could irreparably damage ocean ecosystems. And we are 'woefully short' on rules, regulations, and research.

Short-term economic gains should not come at the expense of ocean health. #DeepDay pew.org/42hZx0S

Conservation efforts are making progress in protecting endangered animals and plants, according to an illuminating study with findings from researchers over the last ten years. bbc.com/news/science-e…

What is the Clarion-Clipperton Zone (CCZ)—and why is it so important?

Home to over 400 known and thousands more unknown species, the CCZ is being explored for #DeepSeaMining — before we can even begin to understand the region. #DeepDay pew.org/49Egfe7

The deep sea makes up 90% of the marine environment, but less than 5% has been explored.

If permitted, #DeepSeaMining would be devastating for our ocean, putting thousands of species at risk before we can begin to understand them. #DeepDay

The fate of millions of acres of pristine ancestral lands and waters in Alaska–often referred to as “D-1 Lands”–could soon be decided by Bureau of Land Management - National.

They’re home to:
✅ Tribal history
✅ Fish & wildlife habitat
✅ Forests vital to climate resilience
pew.org/3QqDKPU

U.S. streams, rivers, and wetlands:

✅Bolster climate resilience
✅Provide fish and wildlife habitat
✅Support local businesses

President Biden has challenged communities and governments to reconnect, restore, and protect these ecosystems.

Historically, Bureau of Land Management - National has prioritized oil and gas development over conservation.

But that all changed.

The recently finalized rule enables the agency to put conservation on equal footing across the 245 million acres it oversees. #ActNowForPublicLands pew.org/3UAAns8

The fourth round of negotiations on a global plastics agreement has concluded at #INC4 , with countries failing to agree on measures that address the *FULL* plastic lifecycle.

Leaders must be ambitious when they reconvene later this year. pew.org/4aaNLaN

The deep sea:

🦑 Provides a reservoir of biodiversity
🌡️ Helps regulate earth’s climate
🧬 Contains invaluable genetic resources

One problem: It’s under threat from #DeepSeaMining — but there’s still time to #DefendTheDeep . pew.org/4adfS9G
