BREAKING FROM #UNOC2022! A new wave of companies signs onto the Arctic Shipping Pledge. Keeping ships out of the Arctic will help protect this irreplaceable and unique region of our planet. Thank you! 🌊 bit.ly/3NBDMA6

The Supreme Court decision to curb the EPA's power to address climate change is discouraging but it shouldn't stop our leaders from addressing this crisis. The Biden Administration & Congress must act to accelerate a just transition to renewable energy. npr.org/2022/06/30/110…

Ocean Conservancy is disappointed that the Biden-Harris administration has taken steps toward new offshore oil and gas leasing in the Gulf of Mexico and Cook Inlet, Alaska. There is no room for offshore oil in a clean energy future. ow.ly/pqwY50JN41e

After I finished my PhD, I decided to go pursue science-based policy to have a more immediate, sweeping impact on plastic pollution. SB54 is the impact I dreamed of- measurable, near-term, and durable reductions in plastics! Ocean Conservancy Nicholas Mallos nytimes.com/2022/07/01/cli…

"The science is clear—ghost gear, a major source of ocean plastics, must be addressed in order to protect marine life and environments, and the fisher and coastal communities that rely on it for their livelihoods." oceanconservancy.org/blog/2022/06/2…

“We have to regard this as a wake-up call that conditions like this can hit us suddenly and take away entire ecosystems." Damaged marine ecosystems show the need to act swiftly on climate change. Read more from Blue Frontier Campaign Executive Director @helvarg: nytimes.com/2022/04/30/opi…

Women are making waves in environmental policy!! Learn more about the amazing work being done by @JenniferFearing and others during this panel next week👇

What does seabed mining sound like? According to new research, a single deep-sea mining site could produce noise extending hundreds of kilometers—impacting marine life far beyond the mine's borders. pew.org/3NPwkBF

California's plastics law will reduce the amount of plastic created and shift the burden of funding recycling infrastructure from taxpayers to producers. #SB54 offers a blueprint for state-level #ClimateAction following the Supreme Court's EPA decision. nytimes.com/2022/07/05/us/…

“There is a long legacy of colonial injustice, and this is a great first step to making reparations for this community." LA's returning a beach to the Black family it was stolen from nearly a century ago. The case shows how land injustices can be righted. latimes.com/california/sto…
