Working with communities to find ways to reduce ALDFG and protect mobula rays 💛
🙌 Special thanks to the team on the ground!!! We’re getting super close to reaching 10,000 kg of #ALDFG (abandoned, lost or discarded fishing gear) being collected from the islands of #Lampi and #Langann.
🦈 These waters are home to Critically Endangered sharks and rays of #Myanmar.

Wish us luck!! 💪🏽

6 trips and nearly 7 tonnes of ghost gear gone. 🐟💪
With Langann Island community, we’ve made our biggest ALDFG removal yet—keeping harmful nets out of reefs, turtles & mobula rays in Langann LMMA. 🌊💙

Earlier this July, I joined the 2025 Asia Shark Research & Conservation Leadership Workshop in Palawan 🇵🇭, a powerful week of learning, connecting, and growing.

Huge thanks to Blue Capacity Collective and everyone who made it possible! 🦈🌊 #ASRA #MyanmarOcean

On Mar 28, a massive earthquake hit central Myanmar. Entire towns are in ruins, and survivors are queuing for clean water in the scorching heat.
I've started donating water filters, but demand is overwhelming. Help us reach 500 filters by month’s end.

Thank you for this @climateimpactstracker.com and Thee Oo Thazin for the beautiful sketches 💛
Our campaign, “She is a Woman. She is the Planet.” is all about the women of the environment.

The very first environmental heroine of our campaign is @thandakogyi.bsky.social, the founder of
Myanmar Ocean Project.

Who is she? What has she been doing?

Very happy to have been part of this study. 🇲🇲 gets overlooked for a lot of things at the detriment of communities & environment in 🇲🇲 but also outside (as the paper highlighted 🇲🇲’s role not only in consumption & trade of mobulid products but also a key trade route for other countries in the region).
