The ocean… 🌊💙 sustains life, regulates climate, hosts biodiversity, buffers storms, produces oxygen, holds untold wonder. Yet, we’ve polluted its depths and pushed it to the brink. On #WorldOceanDay and every day, let’s act to #SaveOurOcean.

Plastic is everywhere. It makes up 80% of marine pollution, poisoning ecosystems and marine life. As part of the #OceanDecade, @TheOceanCleanup, @PlasticFischer and @CommonSeas develop pioneering solutions to protect the ocean from plastic pollution: https://t.co/q40SsBMMMQ

Well-researched piece by @jimwaterson on the flats pumping sewage directly into London’s rivers. Six of the blocks are on the Brent or its catchment. Quotes from our trustee Ben Morris of @BrentPollution. https://t.co/Wl8bKVZCaW

London Centric shows you the apartment blocks sending untreated human waste into the capital's waterways, causing "a quiet, steady, background poisoning".

Great to launch this project with Imperial, which is going to sample run-off from over 30 locations throughout the Brent Catchment. @ERGImperial @LeonPBarron @Thames21 @BrentRiverPark @silkstreamers @BrookersDollis @LAMuttonBrook can’t wait to get started!
A workshop with volunteers from Clean Up River Brent to talk to them about it and also on how to collect water samples for us to test. @helenarapp @PostDocAlex @LeonPBarron @ERGImperial @HPRU_CRTH @HPRU_EEH
