Global heating is rapidly altering marine ecosystems.

Novel interventions are gaining traction to sustain oceans and ocean-dependent societies, but they come with risks. 💥

Our new paper in @science.org explores how to "go slow to go fast" on ocean-based climate action.

At #ClimateWeekNYC, ocean-climate solutions must advance climate, equity & biodiversity.

Our Funders Brief offers 5 strategies for responsible investment:

Governance readiness
Rights-based interventions
Locally led initiatives
Ethical capacity
Climate effectiveness

Experimental climate interventions in the world’s oceans are moving ahead in a regulatory vacuum, raising concerns among scientists about potential risks, Mongabay staff writer Edward Carver reported.

Interesting article on mobility of early career researchers, and the barriers they face. www.nature.com/articles/d41...
How researcher visa curbs threaten science careers
Anti-immigration sentiment is fuelling a drive to slash international student and worker numbers, but at what cost to researchers and countries leading the charge?

The effects of climate change on #marine #ecosystems are increasingly negative prompting many new interventions to sustain the ocean. But, as Morrison et al. point out, #governance systems to prevent unintended consequences are “not yet in place” @profterryhughes.bsky.social‬ doi.org/10.1126/scie...

Global heating is changing marine systems. 🌊 🌡️
In response, novel interventions are gaining traction fast.
They aim to sustain ocean systems and ocean-dependent societies - but come with risks. 💥

“Without robust governance, we risk repeating past mistakes—implementing ‘solutions’ that are ineffective, inequitable, or even harmful”.

Climate interventions to save our oceans need stronger governance, experts warn
Climate interventions are accelerating in our oceans—but without responsible governance, they could do more harm than good, according to new research.

Oceans are on the frontline of an array of risky initiatives that are poorly understood and under-regulated.

Development of these interventions is outpacing governance readiness. Read our recommendations here:

According to this naive article, only 2 players are involved in geoengineering decisions - well-meaning scientists & local people.

But what about the roles of:

Politicians, Judiciary, NGOs, Media, Non-local societies, Entrepreneurs, self-appointed Billionaires, etc?

Geoengineering could fight climate change—if the public can be convinced
Researchers’ failures to communicate are jeopardizing even basic tests, but new projects may point the way forward

Work examining the feasibility of glacier interventions must be codesigned in partnerships between scientists and current and future rights holders and stakeholders in harm’s way, write @proftiffanym.bsky.social and colleagues.

Prospects for mitigating sea level rise by slowing flows of glacial ice into the ocean are worthy of research, but this work must involve all rights holders and stakeholders.
