I've been using the Likoni Ferry since I was a kid in Mombasa. The ocean has always looked clean, but I never really thought about it, even though I care about the environment. Today, as I crossed to Likoni, I noticed how spotless the ocean was, despite the littering habits of a majority of Kenyans. Maybe there are people who clean it, maybe not. On my way back, still admiring the clean sea, suddenly someone from another ferry threw a soda can into the water. I was shocked! Why would someone want to mess up such a beautiful place? My phone camera didn't allow me to capture the can from that distsnce. But this person, maybe they just didn't know any better. Thousands of people use this route every day, and there's usually no trash until this one person. As I reflected on the pristine beauty of the ocean during my journey, it dawned on me the importance of conserving our seas in line with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The SDGs call for urgent action to protect marine life and ecosystems (Goal 14), emphasizing the need to prevent pollution, sustainably manage marine resources, and conserve coastal and marine areas🌊 The incident with the soda can reminded me of the fragility of our marine environments and the collective responsibility we share in safeguarding them for future generations. Each of us plays a crucial role in achieving these global goals by reducing our own plastic consumption, properly disposing of waste, and advocating for policies that promote ocean conservation.♻️🐋⛰️🏞️ Let's not only marvel at the beauty of our oceans but also actively work towards preserving them for the prosperity of all life on Earth.Let's all do our part to keep our natural habitats clean. They're our home and home to other creatures. Shaleen Wanjiru John Linus Susan Khasoa #SDG14 #SDG13 #ClimateAction #LifeBelowWater (The image used here is an old one)

Making bricks from seaweed 🌎 Mexico’s Yucatán Peninsula faces an annual influx of sargassum seaweed, disrupting ecosystems and tourism. A local innovation, the “sargablock,” is turning this environmental problem into a valuable resource. Made from 40% sargassum combined with organic materials, these bricks provide a sustainable construction solution, directly supporting the principles of the circular economy by transforming waste into useful materials. The process exemplifies circularity by reducing reliance on traditional construction materials, minimizing waste, and repurposing an invasive species. The bricks are highly durable, withstanding extreme conditions like hurricanes, and require minimal resources to produce. This approach tackles both environmental and economic challenges, showing how localized waste can be converted into long-term assets. International interest in the sargablock model further underscores the scalability of this solution. As regions worldwide seek to address similar challenges with invasive species, the potential to replicate this model illustrates how circular economy principles can be applied on a global scale. This initiative demonstrates the power of innovative waste management strategies, where environmental problems are not just mitigated but transformed into opportunities, driving sustainable development and circular resource use. #sustainability #sustainable #business #esg #climatechange #climateaction #circularity #circular

When it comes to sustainable innovation, seaweed has become a hero on many fronts: From its carbon-sequestration ability to its potential as next-generation packaging materials, methane-reducing livestock feed, sustainable dyes and more, the marine super plant offers innumerable environmental benefits and practical, circular applications. However, one type of seaweed has not received the same appreciation for its potential: sargassum — a prolific alga that plagues beaches across the Caribbean, USA, Mexico and West Africa. Known for its buoyant, brown, leafy appearance, this relentless invader devastates coastal environments and ecosystems — smothering vital habitats such as coral reefs and seagrass beds, and depleting oxygen levels in the water. To add insult to injury, the pungent odor emitted by decaying sargassum repels tourists — turning once-vibrant beaches into malodorous landscapes — which is devastating for coastal communities reliant on tourism revenue. Despite global efforts, eradicating sargassum remains a daunting endeavor. Enter Thalasso AS — a Norwegian startup whose Ocean Harvester technology and micro-biorefineries offer a circular solution for both harvesting sargassum from affected coastal areas and transform it into valuable products. Co-founded by serial entrepreneur Frode Stolen Sønstebø and Paulina Zanela — who joined forces to establish a company dedicated to finding solutions for harvesting and sustainable management of sargassum seaweed. “We envision the combination of innovation, sustainability and community empowerment shaping the overarching narrative of ocean conservation and economic development,” says Zanela. “Our harvester and micro-biorefinery illustrate this vision by utilizing sargassum as a valuable resource across multiple industries, supporting both innovative and sustainable practices.”
