On the occasion of #WorldOceansDay 🌊, Earth Insight's latest report on provides a timely dive into how LNG developments across the globe lock in fossil fuels and threaten fisheries, human health, ecosystems, and the climate. Read on here: https://lnkd.in/gx_kwmP9

#SDG14. #SDGs2030 Attended the UNEA-6 Side-event – Seaweed as a nature-based solution to tackle the triple planetary crisis: Climate change, biodiversity loss and pollution. As an official side-event during the UN Environmental Assembly 6, this event aimed to increase knowledge and understanding of how seaweed ecosystems can support coastal fisheries, provide food and medicine, mitigate climate change and ocean acidification, and improve water quality.

Happy to share that I have recently co-authored a paper investigating the predicted impacts of climate change on fish stocks and the subsequent effects on the Scottish fishing industry. The paper explores: •How rising sea temperatures and ocean acidification might affect fish populations. •The potential economic and social consequences for Scotland's fishing communities. •Recommendations for further data collection and policy development to ensure a sustainable future for our fisheries. A robust fishing industry is essential for Scotland's economy and cultural heritage. By understanding the potential impacts of climate change, we can develop effective strategies to mitigate risks and support the long-term viability of the sector. #fisheries #climatechange #fishstocks #scottishfisheries

As the Arctic Ocean loses sea ice due to climate change, fisheries access is increasing, and large-scale exploitation is on the horizon. These changes threaten the fragile Arctic Ocean ecosystem that harbours polar bears, beluga whales, narwhals and a range of fish species. Learn more here: https://lnkd.in/gSyg4XRq

Estuaries are important for our fisheries and ecosystems alike. When they’re affected by marine heatwaves this can have massive impacts.     #NESP and University of Tasmania scientist Dr Julio Salcedo-Castro will look at how we can protect estuaries in our next webinar: Understanding marine heatwaves.     Register now:  https://lnkd.in/gRUMc-dH Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water

The impact of climate change on oceans and marine biodiversity ● Rising seas & warming oceans threaten marine life, coral reefs & fisheries. ● Acidifying waters harm ecosystems, putting food security at risk. ● Polar regions face rapid change, with melting ice & habitat loss. #ClimateAction #IPCC #Ocean #Cryosphere #sustainability #climatechange #environment #marine #coralreefs #biodiversity

When fisheries thrive in a sustainable way, coastal communities thrive. But climate change is causing fish stocks to move, creating conflict over newly fish-rich and fish-poor places and threatening the food and livelihood security of billions of people.       The new Oceans Futures platform is designed to predict—and prevent—these conflicts.

Here is some very interesting explanation about ocean heating and the central role that one plays by regulating the Earth's temperature and storing almost all the excess of heat that is trapped by greenhouse gases.

The ocean plays a central role in regulating the Earth's temperature by storing nearly all the excess heat trapped by greenhouse gases. However, it’s heating up, significantly impacting natural ecosystems and fisheries. 🌊🌡 Discover more about ocean heating in this infographic from The One Ocean Flotilla.

Today July 26 remarks the International Day For The Conservation Of the Mangrove Ecosystem 🍃 Mangroves are vital for coastal ecosystems. They act as natural barriers, protecting. coastlines from erosion and storm surges. These unique forests are nurseries for countless marine species, supporting biodiversity and fisheries. Additionally, mangroves play a crucial role in carbon sequestration, helping to mitigate climate change. As the young generation, we must work together and take action to protect mangrove ecosystems for future generations. #AQRES #WUSL
