🏝️ Ocean Visions #4: Let’s imagine positive change, celebrate ocean wins and feel our connection with nature together. Here’s the fourth post in our Ocean Visions series:   1. In ‘Communicating Complex Ocean Issues…’ Kolandai-Matchett et al. recognise that we need to stop solely focusing on current and future ocean problems and start concentrating on ‘scalable solutions’ instead. 🔍   2. WWF-Malaysia shared the wonderful news that last year, local Malaysian community guardians protected 10,000 green turtle nests. This is an important step towards species recovery. 🥚   3. Ocean Wise‘s online article ‘The Oceans and the Humans are Connected’ explores the myriad ways in which the ocean impacts humans and humans impact the ocean. Ultimately, we are entirely interconnected. 🔗   ➡️ Do you have a favourite bit of ocean news you’ve heard recently? #ocean #oceanconservation #nature #inspiration #marineprotection #sciencecommunication

I feel privileged to be living in a place where the beauty of blue skies is a part of everyday life. It’s something I never gave much thought to—until I traveled to places where such a simple yet profound sight is a rarity. During my travels, I met people who have lived on this planet for 30 to 40 years, never left their hometowns, and didn’t even know that blue skies existed. It was eye-opening to realize that what I take for granted is a distant dream for so many, a reminder of the stark inequalities in environmental conditions across the globe. Today, on the International Day of Clean Air for Blue Skies, we are reminded of the importance of clean air for our health, our environment, and our future generations. Clean air is a basic human right, yet millions around the world are denied this fundamental need. As we mark this day, let’s renew our commitment to ensuring that everyone, no matter where they live, can one day look up and experience the vast, clear blue skies that inspire hope and well-being. We all share one planet, and it is our collective responsibility to protect the air we breathe. Let’s work together for cleaner air and a brighter future for all. #CleanAirForAll #BlueSkies #Sustainability #EnvironmentalResponsibility #InternationalDayOfCleanAir #ClimateAction

🌊 Celebrating World Ocean Day! 🌍 🐬 With oceans covering 71% of the Earth’s surface with over 80% of it being unmapped and unexplored. And harbouring 89% of all animal life, protecting our oceans is fundamental. Not least as one of the largest carbon sinks in the world with coastal habitats storing 5 times more carbon than tropical rainforests, protecting these natural beauties become a must for all life to be sustained. When celebrating the UNs World Ocean day we are reminded about the vast yet fragile nature of our world. Ones values of security, safety and independence for example would all be broken if our oceans are diminished. Six Degrees we understand our clients values, which are all driven by personal experiences in childhood. We recognise the importance of understanding these to determine the purpose of wealth and therefore get to the right strategy. As we celebrate the UN's World Ocean Day, it’s essential to recognize how the health of our oceans directly impacts every aspect of our lives, from the environment to our personal values. At Six Degrees, we understand that our clients' values, deeply rooted in their personal experiences, shape their approach to wealth. By prioritizing the protection of our oceans, we ensure a sustainable future not just for our planet, but for the generations to come. Let's continue this conversation and explore how we can all contribute to preserving our ocean treasures. What actions are you taking to protect our oceans?

On today World Ocean Day 🌊, we’re spotlighting this year’s theme ‘Catalysing Action for Our Ocean & Climate’ by highlighting a number of brand initiatives from Citizen Brands. Our first spotlight brand is Sheba, Mars's beloved cat food brand. 🐈 Our planet faces an urgent climate crisis, and the health of our oceans is critical in combating this threat. Sheba has been making waves since 2021 with its Hope Grows initiative, the world’s largest coral reef restoration programme 🪸🪸🪸. Sheba has pledged to restore over 185,000 sq metres of coral reefs by 2029, an effort that underscores the interdependence of all life forms – from our feline friends to marine ecosystems. At the heart of this initiative is Hope Reef, a 150-ft-long restored reef off Salisi’ Besar that spells out the word HOPE, visible from space. This beacon of restoration demonstrates the power of human innovation to address environmental challenges. 💗 Scientists warn that 90% of the world’s tropical reefs could vanish by 2043, threatening the survival of 25% of all marine species. Sheba’s use of ‘reef star’ technology in reef restoration shows that solutions to man-made problems are within our grasp. 🐠 Sheba’s mission goes beyond restoration; it aims to inspire governments, businesses, and communities to join the cause. By taking the lead, Sheba is creating ripples of change that can grow into waves of collective action for ocean health. Let’s celebrate World Ocean Day 🌊 by acknowledging Sheba’s extraordinary efforts. Together, we can protect and restore our oceans, ensuring a vibrant, healthy planet for all species. Here’s to making HOPE visible from space and beyond! 🌌🪸 #worldoceansday #ocean #oceanlife #Citizenbrands #CitizenGood #Beaforceforgood

Last Saturday was World Oceans Day. On this day 5 years ago, I was living on this tiny island in Fiji, researching an invasive species called the Crown-of-thorn (COT). The island in the picture below looks pretty untouched right? On the surface it was, and the reef around it was a Marine Protected Area so we expected to see an abundance of life and untouched coral. On my first dive of the trip as we descended, I noticed a coral graveyard as far as we could see, no fish, and hundreds of Crown-of-thorns covering the dead coral. Crown-of-thorns are coral predators; they are a type of large starfish and have an enormous appetite for eating hard coral. They like warm water and tend to reproduce quickly in summer months or when the sea temperatures are warmer. In this little reef in Fiji, there were no fish, because there was no coral, and there was no coral, because there were too many COTs, and the reason for that was because the sea temperatures were so warm, and have only increased year-on-year since then. After talking to the local community, I realised the problem was far greater than just the fish in that reef, the community were struggling to catch fish (their main source of protein), and they were struggling financially because their main industry was fishing (sustainable low-impact rod fishing). The sad thing is that they were not responsible for this impact, they don't have cars, or planes, or any large emitters. We are responsible for it. We are the large emitters pumping carbon into the air, and consequently the sea temperatures are rising and coastal communities all over the world are suffering our impacts. I guess the point of telling this story is that the ocean is incredibly important for #LifeonEarth. It is our largest carbon sink, and lungs to our planet. Our actions are having an impact far greater than just #LifeBelowWater, and we need to protect the ocean every day if we want to live in a habitable world. Happy World Oceans Day, let's start to celebrate it every day! #WorldOceansDay #Sustainability #CoralBleaching #MarineConservation #CoralReefRestoration Ocean Culture Life True Limited
