The GlobalSeaweed-SUPERSTAR programme, led by SAMS, has asked the UN Ocean Conference #UNOC3 in Nice to recognise importance of #seaweed to ocean health and food security and requested conservation status similar to coral reefs, mangroves and seagrasses.
🌊 Incredible announcements at our side-event at #UNOC3 this morning, with 3 countries supporting the establishment of a United Nations Global Seaweed Initiative (UNGSI) ! . Thanks to our great speakers and to the Republic of Madagascar, Indonesia, and France 💪🪸

A new study has revealed the 'shocking' extent of marine heatwaves. 🌊3.5 times more heatwave days in both '23 & '24 compared to other years.💲Billions of dollars of damage globally.🌡️In '23 & '24, 10% of the ocean hit record temperatures. #MarineScience.
