The ocean is a critical indicator in the #ClimateCrisis .

With 2023 as the hottest year on record, if more CO2 is produced from #GHGEmissions , the ocean heat rise will have consequences on global temperatures, #SeaLevelRise and #MarineLife . cbc.ca/news/science/o…

And its not just shallow coral reefs that are being impacted. We've shown that deeper, #mesophotic corals are also bleaching as well:

Devastating news that #corals are bleaching around the world, again 🪸🪸🪸 The second #masscoralbleaching event in 10 years 😥This is driven by #climatechange 🔥🌎🔥
We need to take action to curb our emissions and combat climate change NOW.

I presented our #Motion4theOcean at the UN Ocean Decade Conference 😁🌊

It was an honour to present our successful initiative on the global stage, alongside Cllr Ernest Gibson.

2️⃣7️⃣ Councils and counting have made an Ocean Recovery Declaration using our Motion for the Ocean. 👏🏻

Morning welcome to Super Seabird Sunday where we ask you to post photos/videos of seabirds to brighten up timelines (it’s needed!) here are some Razorbills on the Isle of May, having just returned #SuperSeabirdSunday

By far my favourite session of the UN Ocean Decade conference, “Building Ocean Leadership” with Early Career Ocean Professionals & Edinburgh Ocean Leaders.

Honest, vulnerable, brave, inspiring.
Thank you to all speakers 🩵

#OceanDecade24

Ocean science knowledge alone will not change things for the ocean. We need to embrace different types of knowledge, think about how people access and connect with #ocean spaces and really position #emoceans as being central to #ocean literacy

#OceanDecade24

#Motion4theOcean goes international! Inspiring Emily G Cunningham. So pleased Worthing is amongst the 27 councils in UK who have signed up.

So excited to see our #Motion4theOcean highlighted in this blue paper from the High Level Panel for a Sustainable Ocean Economy Ocean Panel. 🤩👏🏻🌊

Proud to have made North Norfolk District Council one of the first authorities to sign up to this.
