Species who also have critical #habitat are twice as likely to recover as those without.

Rice's #whales can't withstand the constant disruptions harming their small, struggling population. Designating critical habitat is essential to giving these whales the space they need to survive — and, one day, thrive again.

Tell NOAA Fisheries to protect critical habitat for these highly endangered creatures.

- Fast track an uplisting of the species to ‘#CriticallyEndangered’ under #Australia ’s nature laws, as per the HSI and AMCS scientific nomination under this category in 2023.

We need your help to ask Federal Environment Minister Tanya #Plibersek to take action to urgently ensure the skate’s protection and recovery, and avoid losing this amazing Australian species forever.

"I think so many people just think it’s this place that has penguins and it doesn’t impact anyone,” says Bransome. “But it’s often referred to as the ‘beating heart of the planet,’ because the currents send nutrients to the #GlobalOcean feeding fisheries and #biodiversity throughout the ocean. It stores the majority of #heat and #carbon that’s created. It really impacts us all.”

Small But Mighty: Why Antarctic #Krill Are Worth Fighting For

Experts call for action to protect vast areas of the Southern Ocean and help safeguard the shrimp-like crustaceans at the base of the food web.

An industrial development of this massive scale poses unacceptable risks to the sensitive environment here, which supports many #ThreatenedSpecies, including critically endangered #sawfish and #ShovelnoseRays, as well as #turtles, #dugongs, and migratory #shorebirds.

Please, keep fighting to protect the whole of the #Ningaloo ecosystem and act now.

BOTTOM TRAWLING TO CONTINUE IN HAURAKI GOLF

Yesterday the Government announced it WILL allow destructive bottom trawling to continue in large areas of the #HaurakiGulf.

We know that #BottomTrawling is the worst kind of commercial #fishing, bulldozing the #seafloor and indiscriminately destroying ancient #coral and other #MarineLife.

STOP BLEEDING HORSESHOE CRABS TO DEATH

Thousands of defenseless #HorseshoeCrabs are being brutally drained of their #blood in record numbers for the #biomedical industry — with news detailing numerous violations of harvesting permits and minimal welfare practices.

Five bleeding companies drained a record-breaking 700,000 #crabs of their blood in 2021 — with workers stabbing the animals in the heart and then bleeding out up to half of their blood to manufacture #LAL ,

Saw these rather fashionable anemones today on the pier of Yeongmok Harbor in Chungnam, 🇰🇷. 🤩 A new find for me! About the size of acorns.
