📢A MegaMove milestone has just been published in @ScienceMagazine!
With ~380 collaborators from 50 countries, we mapped the movements of 12k+ marine megafauna to identify key habitats 🌊🐋🦈

MegaMove uncovers where protection is needed for marine megafauna
A new Science paper maps global hotspots for marine megafauna & finds that planned increased protection will be insufficient to cover most areas

NEW in @science.org Global tracking #MarineMegafauna shows <8% of areas used overlap w/ existing MPAs, while >75% of important areas overlapped by threats like #fishing #shipping & ocean warming - 30x30 goal will be insufficient for their conservation www.megamove.org @thembauk.bsky.social

I woke up this morning and my content calendar reminded me: it’s World Environment Day 🌏
This year’s theme? #BeatPlasticPollution — again.
Just like that, my memory was back in Busan 🇰🇷, where I stood last year as a youth observer at INC-5, watching the world try to negotiate a plastic treaty

Now that reducing #plastic production has moved to center stage in the #plasticstreaty negotiations, the next question is: how? We have some answers! Led by the amazing @taraolsen.bsky.social, here's a new paper on how to realistically reduce plastic production. www.cell.com/one-earth/fu... 🧵
Legally binding reduction targets for primary plastics production: A necessity to end plastic pollution
Reducing primary plastics production (PPP) is crucial to mitigating environmental

New update on our changing planet 🌊
the ocean is getting darker - and in some parts brighter
In darkening seas, sunlight reaches shallower depths than it used to with big implications for sea life
Possible causes are global heating and shifting ocean currents

Planet’s darkening oceans pose threat to marine life, scientists say
Band of water where marine life can survive has reduced in more than a fifth of global ocean between 2003 and 2022
