The ocean shields coasts, sustains biodiversity, and feeds billions.

While leaders pledged to protect 30% of it by 2030, only 8.4% is protected today.

If you've read At Every Depth, you know we love @whiteabalone.bsky.social. The story of the white abalone program encapsulates the entire sense of the book itself: that we can face daunting challenges by working together.

In his final weeks in office, President Biden protected 625 million acres of vulnerable areas of the ocean from oil and gas drilling — in a way that incoming president-elect Donald Trump can't easily undo.

The president used a federal law to ban future oil and gas drilling in parts of the Atlantic, Pacific, Alaska, and the Gulf of Mexico.

In the announcement, the Biden administration acknowledged that one of the motivations for this action was lessons learned from the Deepwater Horizon oil spill - something we discuss extensively in @ateverydepth.bsky.social.
