Fostering sustainable, thriving, resilient fisheries that provide more food, prosperity and environmental well-being for people, communities and the planet.

The mesopelagic zone is a climate ally, biodiversity hotspot & largely unexplored frontier. Activities like increased fishing efforts threaten its ability to thrive & help us tackle climate change. Motion 035 could give this hidden hero a fighting chance.

Scientists are urging nations not to authorize commercial fishing or other harmful activities in the deep ocean until we understand it better

A victory for the ocean! 🌊👏🏽 The @IUCN took action to protect the mesopelagic zone—one of the most important yet least understood parts of our planet. Following the adoption of the high-seas treaty, this win adds to the global momentum to safeguard our ocean.

NOAA officially forecasts 13-19 named storms, 6-10 becoming hurricanes, & 3-5 becoming major. Climate change has altered hurricane season w/ hotter ocean temps, heavier rains & increased flooding—“Everything is in place for an above average season.”

With warmer-than-normal ocean waters, forecasters are expecting another unusually busy hurricane season for the Atlantic.
