So excited for this @blueactionfund.org grant to come through for @wcs.org Colombia, working alongside @fondoaccion.bsky.social and Fundación Squalus.

And that's a wrap. #ICRS2026 brought over 2,100 delegates from 93 countries to Aoteroa for a jam-packed week of coral reef science. It was a honor to be one of the conference co-chairs and help set the programme with amazing and distinguished speaker.

A banner day for marine life in the New York Bight. Watch the video below to see what our WCS researchers got to experience:

In coming to Cambridge Prisms: Coastal Futures as an editor, I bring experience in applied conservation. Here I share thoughts on the future of coastal sustainability research: www.cambridge.org/core/blog/20... @wcs.org

At #OurOceanConference, African women leaders from 11 countries created a call to action to elevate women's voices in decision-making (womenoceanguardians.org/women-ocean-...). All 6 Coral Triangle countries signed the Women Ocean Guardians commitment. newsroom.wcs.org/News-Release...

Five new governments signed the high level commitment for resilient coral reefs (coralcommitment.com/protect-the-...) at #OurOceanConference - a big stepping stone in the #OurReefsOurFuture (www.ourreefsourfuture.org) campaign to show saving reefs is possible. newsroom.wcs.org/News-Release...

Today at #OurOceanConference, Madagascar and Zanzibar announced new national shark and ray protections, building on a decade decade of East Africa shark conservation momentum implemented by @wcs.org & supported by Shark Conservation Fund. Read more: newsroom.wcs.org/News-Release...

More hopeful news for coral reefs - our new global analysis identifies over 165,000 km2 of climate-resilient coral reefs, offering a blueprint for targeted management action. Maps are available on @skytruth.org 30x30 progress tracker platform: tanzaniatimes.net/over-165000-...

Over 165,000 square kilometers of coral reefs can strongly withstand climate crisis. New study revealsThe research also identifies substantial new areas of climate-resilient reefs across the Caribbean, including in Belize, Panama and the Turks and Caicos Islands. These are the regions that earlier glo...tanzaniatimes.net

Super Reefs can withstand climate impacts - they are out there, we need to find & protect them & learn their secrets. @emilysdarling.bsky.social of @wcs.org notes that protecting source reefs can maintain dispersal networks & help degraded reefs recover: insideclimatenews.org/news/1406202...

As Global Warming Threatens Corals Worldwide, Woods Hole Scientists Search for ‘Super Reefs’ That Can Take the Heat - Inside Climate NewsIf protected, researchers say these coral strongholds may help repopulate more degraded reefs across the Central Pacific.insideclimatenews.org

Look here for where to find @wcs.org at the forthcoming #OurOceanConference in Mombasa, with events highlighting commitments around climate-resilient reefs, Women Ocean Guardians, shark & ray conservation and #30x30 action

Here's a preview of events @wcs.org will be engaging in at #OurOceanConferenceKenya, with a focus on #climateresilientreefs, #30x30, #WomenOceanGuardians, #ecosystembasedadaptation and #sharksandrays. Stay tuned for information on dates/times as they are confirmed.

Research by @wcs.org's Tim McClanahan shows that economic pressures & market incentives are keeping fishing effort high enough to suppress fish production recovery, which traps remaining fishers in poverty. Read the articles www.nature.com/articles/s43... & www.frontiersin.org/journals/fis...

**HOT OFF THE PRESS** New paper highlighting gaps where high levels of development assistance paired with high levels of contextual inequity present risks for implementing marine conservation if it is not carefully designed and implemented. Access here: www.nature.com/articles/s44... #BlueJustice

**Sound the alarm for MPAs** New study finds 73% of the world’s ocean protected areas are polluted by sewage. Pollution management needs to be part of the solution for managing our seas, says @wcs.org's Dr. Amelia Wenger. Find out more info here: newsroom.wcs.org/News-Release...

Always wonderful to be able to highlight the hard work and dedication of our field staff during #WomensHistoryMonth. See a new blog from Ravaka Ranaivoson of @wcs.org describing her tenacity in implementing marine conservation in Madagascar: www.pbs.org/wnet/nature/...

Celebrating the thousands of women who work for @wcs.org who have devoted their careers to conservation, in a myriad of ways, for the planet and its people. I particularly salute our dedicated marine teams - both globally & in the field. #InternationalWomensDay

Great news for oceanic white tip sharks. Countries around the world voted to prohibit all commercial trade, the highest level of protection under the #CITES convention, write Juan Carlos Navarro, Cristina Mittermeier & @lukedavid301.bsky.social in @timemagazine.bsky.social: time.com/7362449/shar...
