We are not strangers separated by countries; we are a tribe connected by ocean. We are Wet Tribe, we are “tide to the ocean” and we are rising! 🌊

“When a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object, evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such government, and to provide new guards for their future security.” #NoKingsDay

The NOAA Coral Reef Watch (CRW) daily coral bleaching heat stress monitoring is based on global 5km satellite sea surface temperature (SST) data product known as CoralTemp. https://t.co/Oz9memLbnb

We are continuing to document the extent and severity of mass bleaching on coral reefs, submitting field data to, and comparing with, coral bleaching and mortality satellite data. #WetTribe #TidetotheOcean #FridayFieldUpdate #CoralBleaching #Research

Heat stress has impacted nearly 85% of the world’s coral reefs: @NOAA and the International @ICRI_Coral_Reef Initiative confirmed the ongoing 4th Global Coral Bleaching Event (GCBE4) - the largest to date. #WetTribe #TidetotheOcean #FridayFieldUpdate #CoralBleaching

With plastic pollution, habitat loss, climate change, and social justice issues getting worse and not better, we are leaning into awareness, advocacy, action, and interconnectedness. We are a tribe; we are happy warriors. We can change the world. Join us! #OurRootsAreInTheSea

We are surfers, sailors, divers, scientists, and activists on a hero’s journey to recover ocean plastic, restore habitat, and mitigate ocean warming & acidification. “We are not strangers separated by countries; we are a tribe connected by ocean.” #WetTribe #TidetotheOcean

Today is #WorldFoodDay, and we are celebrating #vegetarians and #vegans, highlighting the significant environmental benefits of plant-based diets, which are associated with drastically lower greenhouse gas emissions, water usage, and land use. #WetTribe #TidetotheOcean

Mangroves sequester carbon and have been known to lower ocean acidification in nearby waters by releasing alkalinity, which increases pH levels (lowering acidity.) #WetTribe #TidetotheOcean #WetlandWednesday #Mangroves #Coral

Plastics are not only a primary marine pollutant but a significant driver of the climate crisis. Mangrove propagules found during ocean plastic recovery tie our cleanup, wetland restoration, and coral protection efforts together–mangroves capture carbon and lower acidification.

Tragic News: The planet has reached the climate tipping point I've been warning about on my podcast. Scientists from around the world agree that unless global heating is cut to 1.2°C as fast as possible, warm-water coral reefs will vanish. #TippingPoint #Climate #Coral

We mentioned "Turtle Island" yesterday for Indigenous Peoples’ Day. By request, we are taking the opportunity of Turtle Tuesday today to tell the Anishinaabe (Ojibwe) creation story of ‘Turtle Island.’

A flood covers the Earth, and a spirit named Nanabush asks the animals to dive for mud to recreate the land. After many animals fail, a muskrat succeeds. Nanabush places the mud on the back of a giant turtle, creating Turtle Island. #WetTribe #TurtleTuesday #TurtleIsland

While indigenous people make up less than 5% of the global population, they protect approximately 80% of the world's biodiversity, and environmental efforts are often rooted in Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK). #WetTribe #TidetotheOcean #Indigenous #TEK #Biodiversity

"Turtle Island" is the name for North America used by some Indigenous peoples, rooted in creation stories where land formed on the back of a giant turtle. It honors the earth as a living relative and emphasizes interconnectedness, stewardship, and respect for nature.

So, we repeat an excerpt from last week’s #ShakespeareSunday quote, “I have seen the hungry ocean gain advantage on the kingdom of the shore; I have seen such interchange confounded to decay.” -William Shakespeare #WetTribe #TidetotheOcean #SeaRise

It is estimated that by 2100, more than 50% of our sandy beaches will be completely lost due to sea level rise driven by climate change. In California, the estimate is 70%, and in Florida, the figure is as high as 80%. #WetTribe #TidetotheOcean #SeaRise #HabitatLoss

A massive ocean heat wave known as The Blob” is hitting the Ocean from Kamchatka to California, with temperatures several degrees above normal, spanning thousands of miles, and can alter weather on land thousands of miles away. #WetTribe #TidetotheOcean

The fossil fuel industry sees plastic as a major source of revenue, leading to a push for more plastic. Plastics contribute to climate change at every stage of their life cycle and are also a primary marine pollutant. #WetTribe #TidetotheOcean #FridaysforFuture #Plastics
