Scientists warn that ships stranded for months in the Strait of Hormuz have accumulated unusually large amounts of marine life on their hulls. When they return to service, they could transport invasive species to ports around the world. www.whoi.edu/press-room/n... @whoi.edu @unep.org

Footage of an iceberg overturning in Ilulissat, Greenland, is a reminder of the extraordinary environment Lewis swam through in 2021. The Arctic often looks calm and still. Until it isn't. Icebergs can shift without warning. #NoIceNoLife

Climate coverage is shrinking, even as the climate crisis intensifies. Meanwhile, there have been 45 climate policy reversals across 15 jurisdictions in just one year. Read more from @wedonthavetime.wsocial.eu & @ingmar.wsocial.eu app.wedonthavetime.org/posts/c374dd... 📊 We Don't Have Time

Plastic doesn't disappear. It fragments. Over time, larger pieces break down into microplastics that now contaminate every ocean on Earth.| Less plastic waste today means less pollution for generations to come. #BeatPlasticPollution #PlasticFreeJuly @undp.org @unep.org @plasticpollutes.bsky.social

We often think of microplastics as a pollution problem, but they may also affect the climate. A new scientific review highlights how microplastics in the Arctic may reduce the reflectivity of snow and ice. newswise.com/articles/arc... 📷 #Greenland: Lewis Pugh Foundation #Microplastics #Arctic

Today is Marine Day, 海の日, in Japan. From the icy waters of Hokkaido to the coral reefs of Okinawa, Japan spans eight marine ecoregions. From ice to coral, the ocean shapes Japan’s wildlife, culture and way of life. Today is a reminder to celebrate it, and protect it. #uminohi #shonankaigan #ocean

The International Seabed Authority (ISA) is meeting this week to discuss the international seabed - it covers around 54% of the world's oceans, yet less than a third of it has been mapped in detail. Learn more: news.un.org/en/story/202... #DeepSea #DeepSeaMining #Ocean @unep.org

Pacific gray whales are in crisis. Climate change is transforming their Arctic feeding grounds, while strandings are rising sharply. At least 145 have been reported this year. peer.org/gray-whales-... 📷 H Klostermann / Ocean Image Bank 📍Baja California @peer.org @unbiodiversity.bsky.social

Despite the name, Porcelain Crabs aren't true crabs. They're close relatives of squat lobsters that evolved a remarkably crab-like body shape. 📷 David P. Robinson / Ocean Image Bank #OceanLife #MarineLife #PorcelainCrab #OceanConservation @unbiodiversity.bsky.social

New research reveals how forces deep within the Earth helped shape East Antarctica. It’s an area we know well. In 2020, Lewis swam in one of its ice rivers, which flowed beneath the ice itself. www.reuters.com/business/env... #EastAntarctica @science.org @antarcticasouth.bsky.social

"Sharks on land and sea are one." Last night at the World Cup, Cabo Verde held Spain to a historic draw. A beautiful film from @faunaflora.bsky.social celebrating the link between Cabo Verde's Blue Sharks and the communities working to protect sharks. Parabéns, Tubarões Azuis! 🇨🇻 🎥 Fauna & Flora

One ocean. From coral reefs to polar ice, from kelp forests to the open sea, the ocean connects us all. On World Oceans Day, we celebrate the beauty, diversity and wonder of the ocean. #worldoceansday @unep.org @unbiodiversity.bsky.social @thegef.bsky.social 🎥 Lewis Pugh Foundation

The signals are becoming harder to ignore. Record ocean temperatures. Melting ice. Rising seas. More extreme weather. What happens in the polar regions doesn't stay there. The systems that regulate our climate connect us all. #WorldEnvironmentDay #NowForClimate @unep.org
