New Method to Save Forests & Reduce Pollution: A Game-Changer for Our Planet! #carbonreduction #forestpreservation #greenhousegasemissions #JurisdictionalREDDMethod #sustainablelandusepractices

🚰 Clean water is the lifeblood of our oceans, and its importance cannot be overstated. As someone passionate about marine conservation, I wanted to share some key insights on why protecting our oceans is crucial for our planet's future: 🌊 Oceans cover over 70% of Earth's surface and are vital for sustaining life. They support diverse marine ecosystems, regulate our climate, and provide food security for billions of people 🐠 Pollutants like plastics, chemicals, and pathogens disrupt marine environments, threatening coral reefs and countless species that depend on them 🌡️ Clean oceans play a pivotal role in climate regulation by absorbing CO2 and heat. Pollution diminishes their capacity to perform these essential functions 🌎 Protecting ocean water quality is crucial for preserving marine biodiversity, which is essential for ecosystem resilience and global environmental stability The good news is that we can all contribute to ocean conservation! By reducing plastic use and adopting sustainable practices, we can make a difference. Let's work together to ensure clean, healthy oceans for generations to come. What steps are you taking to protect our oceans? Share your thoughts and ideas below! #OceanConservation #CleanWater #MarineLife #Sustainability https://lnkd.in/gscEus8c?

I'm disappointed with the way the news is being written and shared around NOAA's announcement of the fourth global mass #CoralBleaching bleaching event. If you work in the #OceanConservation space, this eventuality is not a surprise. What is disappointing is the tone of catastrophe, resignation, and vague lamentations about "climate action," which would lead most to believe that there is nothing we can do besides "curb greenhouse gases." While it is essential that we do curb greenhouse gases, there are many essential and tangible actions we can and must take, that have co-benefits for ocean health and environmental justice. Hand-wringing and opportunistic leveraging of fear in order to amplify the already-saturated climate discourse is not what we need right now. What we *can* and *need* to do is: -immediately take action to reduce land-based pollution, including implementing localized green infrastructure, wetlands restoration, stopping coastal development (yes, I said "stopping" and I didn't stutter), and tackling plastic pollution at both the source and in the water, among other things. International Coral Reef Initiative (ICRI) recently held a great webinar on this, featuring people who are doing real, hands-on work. -fund and deploy local communities who want to be and have the ability (but not the resources) to do hands-on coral restoration work in the water. This is where our #CaringForCorals campaign is headed. -take meaningful and tangible action to stop our extractive and damaging use of ocean ecosystems and ramp up regenerative "blue jobs." Yes, I said what I said. Unchecked fishing pressure, unsustainable and destructive forms of aquaculture, and the like cannot continue. Just as one example, what if rather than killing top predators, recreational fishermen were tasked with scientific monitoring? Another example: what if rather than bottom trawling for massive quantities of finfish, commercial fishermen had the tools to pivot to seaweed or sea cucumber cultivation using BMP's? I could go on. Now is not the time to give up on coral reef ecosystems. Because trust me, you don't want them to give up on us. Before you post about mass bleaching, consider whether your messaging is mobilizing helpful action or facilitating more complacency, please. If this resonates, please share with the people who are driving the ocean narrative as leaders. Also recognize that most people still do not know that bleaching does not automatically mean coral death. I have witnessed corals that bleached last summer come back. Now for our good news: we used the last of our raised funds to purchase a regulator package and dive weights for Deevon Wes La Rue, so he can join me in local restoration work at least twice per week. Yes, this humble man from Newport News, Virginia who never studied marine science is out here doing the thing. You can too. #ScienceCommunication #CoralRestoration #CoralConservation #OceanHealth #OceanJustice

Addresses pollution in coastal and marine ecosystems, significant for marine water quality management. #MarinePollution #Anthropocene #WaterQuality #EcosystemManagement

February marked the warmest on record globally, with ocean temperatures hitting an all-time high. This alarming trend threatens marine ecosystems, intensifies coral bleaching events, and disrupts weather patterns. Let's advocate for sustainable fishing practices, reduce plastic pollution, support renewable energy, and promote coastal conservation efforts!
