HUGE win for conservation! The Azores has approved legislation to create the largest marine protected area network in the North Atlantic Ocean. The Azores is a global hotspot and a vital stopover site for whales, dolphins and seabirds.

This young whale's jaw was ripped after colliding w/ a ferry last week--20K whales die annually from cargos, cruises, & ferries. Ships needs to SLOW down near ports & shipping lanes should NOT be in whale’s breeding and feeding zones. @imo_hq @MSCCargo TAKE ACTION!!!

Earlier this week, Hvaldimir passed away. A necropsy will determine the definitive cause of death in the coming weeks. We've been absolutely devastated over the news, and are deeply saddened that humanity failed this beloved whale.

'Astonishing' heatwave in Antarctica sends temperatures 50 degrees above normal, alarming scientists. If all of Antartica's ice melted, it would raise average global sea levels by well over 150 feet. #climatechange #globalwarming

INCREDIBLE NEWS!!🎉 Last Friday, the Biden-Harris administration announced they'll phase out single-use plastics on government land. The U.S. government is the world’s largest purchaser of goods and services, and this decision will have a global impact.

Yesterday, scientists made an astonishing discovery: oxygen is being generated in the deep sea-completely independent of sunlight! This discovery adds to the growing body of evidence supporting the need to protect the seafloor from exploitation.

@YamahaOutboards @iHeartRadio @CocaCola and @NOAAFisheries all support the Alabama Deep Sea Fishing Rodeo, an event that slaughters sharks, then discards their entire carcass back into the ocean, untouched. How is this kind of event still legal in the US?

592 pilot whales hunted in the Faroe Islands this year—many of the carcasses were barely touched and disposed back in the ocean. This senseless slaughter doesn’t belong in the modern world. @Tinganes

Are you familiar with how destructive deep sea mining is? @LastWeekTonight discussed the negative impacts of deep-sea mining and why the scientific community is ringing alarm bells. Sign the petition to ban deep sea mining:

BREAKING NEWS @BjarkeyOlsen, the Icelandic minister of food, fisheries, and agriculture just granted a 1 year license to kill 128 fin whales in 2024. The government once again failed to listen to scientists, researchers, and locals.

Bottom trawling captures everything in their path, including sharks, seabirds, marine turtles, and cetaceans(whales, dolphins, porpoises). If you support the seafood industry, you can inadvertently be harming unintended species like this Orca. #bycatch
