It's always a bit difficult to capture rough #seas at night but I think this does it a bit of justice. The #ocean is a #dangerous place and you can never take it for granted or it might cost you your #life. #Lobster #Fishing #SaltLife #YouTube

"What you can be sure about is that, on average, you pay 20% of your water bill to service debt raised to reward mostly overseas owners rather than maintain our crumbling water network. And a creaking water network means more pollution. Up to last year, these companies paid out £65.9bn to shareholders and owners. Most of that was funded through borrowing money so that, collectively, they are now £54bn in debt"

Unprecedented ocean temps “surpassing model predictions,” warn experts - but is anyone listening as the seas heat and the Earth burns? We’re blowing past predicted temp highs on an almost daily basis. This is a global crisis, and emergent disaster of unthinkable proportions. And we’re simply nodding our heads and looking the other way. As long as corporate interests hold sway over global politics, there will be no real solutions offered. If we are to save our #oceans and our Mother Earth, we must take direct action now. #ClimateCrisis #ClimateEmergency #GlobalWarming #Seas #ElNino https://www.cbsnews.com/news/ocean-temperatures-higher-models-predicted-climate-experts-warn/

"In the early hours of Thursday morning, a group of #orcas broke the rudder and pierced the hull after ramming into the Mustique as it sailed to #Gibraltar, prompting the sailing boat’s crew of four to contact Spanish authorities for help, a spokesman for the maritime rescue service said."

Ocean dangers toot: Some serious earthquake activity over the last two days in the remote South Pacific. #LoyaltyIslands and #NewCaledonia region. Two major, high amplitude tremors, a Tsunami alert for the first, and some aftershocks. It’s only natural that Mother Nature (capitalized with intent) will try to balance a seriously unbalanced Earth, to restore some kind of homeostasis in the face of relentless attack and degradation by greedy, for-profit corporations and corrupt governments full of politicians profiteering for their share. No direct cause-effect implied but you get the point. I read today that Killer Whales, Orcas, are training themselves to attack boats after one was injured in European waters. Enough is enough. Let’s not turn the whole planet against us. #oceans #environment #seas #oceanography #zoology

A historic oceans treaty has been accepted by nearly 200 countries in a meeting at the headquarters of #UnitedNations in New York, after weeks of negotiations. The treaty briefly deals with the conservation of #marine life and high #seas. It was difficult to assemble countries on a single deal but ultimately the goal is achieved, said information.

“Monterey is the definition of a baseline shifted. It's like an #ecological bomb went off. The old-timers don't dive here much anymore because it's too depressing, and us youngsters hold on to documenting the remaining relics of a collapsing kelp cathedral… there are ecological outlines of #animals that used to live here occupied by creatures imported by warming #seas. What if there was a forest fire that burned cold, without flame or smoke? Would anyone notice?"

#UN states strike #historic deal to protect high #seas !
While the high seas make up over 60% of the world's #oceans, they have long drawn less attention than coastal waters. The UN treaty aims to change that by attempting to ensure the #sustainable use of #ocean #biodiversity.

Good news! A new international High Seas Treaty has been passed to protect the world's oceans.

An Environment Agency report, published today, paints a bleak picture of #England’s coastal regions, with fewer than a fifth of the #UK’s estuaries judged to be at good ecological status. Only 45% of the marine areas assessed met the standard in 2021.

More than nine in 10 of the estuaries sampled had nitrogen levels that were too high in 2019, as did nearly half of coastal waters. #Nitrogen runoff mainly comes from farming.

🌱 Carbon dioxide removal (#CDR) is the human efforts to capture #CO2 from the #atmosphere and store it durably on #land, in the #seas or in products.

📄 While little attention has been paid to CDR in the past, a landmark report has pulled together all the latest #research to boost #policymakers’ interest in CDR.
