The science is clear. At a time when we face life-threatening impacts from climate change, this ill-conceived effort to open massive parts of our ocean to offshore oil and gas leasing is a major step backward in the nation’s urgently needed transition away from fossil fuels.
Today, the California coast we cherish and the delicate ocean ecosystems just beyond it face a renewed threat from offshore drilling. We oppose the Trump Administration’s 5-year oil and gas leasing program and will continue to defend our coastline, wildlife, economy, and health from this threat.

For over 30 years, the Seattle Aquarium has led in sea otter research, contributed to recovery efforts and cared for northern sea otters who are unable to live in the wild.
Today is a big day as we welcome Ruby—the first southern sea otter in our care. ✨🦦

Scientists urge caution, further assessment of ecological impacts above deep-sea mining • MBARI
A new study argues that deep-sea mining poses significant risks not only to seafloor ecosystems, but also to animals in the vast midwater realm.

The environmental risks posed by deep-sea mining extend far beyond destruction of seabed habitats. New research from the University of Hawaii at Manoa affirms that plumes of sediment from mining operations pose a real threat to life in the ocean water column. bit.ly/47ZsxOi #DSM #SeabedMining
Deep-sea mining risks disrupting the marine food web, study warns
Drilling for minerals deep in the ocean could have immense consequences on the tiny animals at the core of the vast ocean food web — and ultimately affect fisheries and the food we find on our plates.

The study finds that each of them has emitted enough greenhouse gases to cause multiple heat waves that would have been virtually impossible in the absence of climate change. www.nature.com/articles/s41... #GreenhouseGasEmissions #ClimateChange #AttributionScience
Systematic attribution of heatwaves to the emissions of carbon majors - Nature
Climate change made 213 historical heatwaves reported over 2000–2023 more likely and more intense, to which each of the 180 carbon majors (fossil fuel and cement producers) substantially contributed.

A new study led by @ethz.ch researchers,published in @nature.com, concludes that half the increase in global heat wave intensity in the industrial era can be traced to emissions from just 180 fossil fuel and cement producers. bit.ly/46cKGIS h/t @anthropocenemag.bsky.social
Heat waves aren’t just natural disasters. Study finds hidden fingerprints on our hottest days.
By connecting individual companies’ emissions to hundreds of heat waves, scientists show how a few producers bear outsized responsibility for worsening climate extremes.
