👏 to @NEAQ + partners studying the critically endangered North Atlantic #rightwhale, which saw a slight increase in its year-over-year population! The upward trend is encouraging, and we'll continue to push for protections that safeguard this vulnerable, majestic species.
North Atlantic right whale population update: heading in a positive direction! 📈🐋 The population estimate: 384 whales in 2024, a 2.1% increase from the previous year. More: https://t.co/Akzey5iuRN 📸: Center for Coastal Studies; NOAA Permit #25740-02 #AndersonCabotCenter

We applaud @IUCN's vote to protect the #oceantwilightzone at the #WorldConservationCongress this week! 👏 With partners around the world, we’ve helped shed light on the #mesopelagic & transform that research into policy. Let's keep up the momentum! 🌊 🦾 🤝
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.
