We join fisher communities and other stakeholders around the world in marking #WorldFisheriesDay today. Sustainable fisheries maintain healthy ecosystems, protecting our oceans.

The octopus is a striking creature!
The arms of an octopus have "a mind of their own" and can operate independently doing different tasks at the same time.

Share with us a fun fact about the octopus on #WorldOctopusDay
#MarineBiodiversity

Today we mark #WorldMaritimeDay by remembering our obligation to protect the ocean. More than 80% of global trade is supported by maritime transport and the ocean plays a key role in climate regulation, is a source of livelihood for many communities and is home to a variety of biodiversity.

Congratulations Gabon, The Philippines, Kenya, Ireland, Lao People's Democratic Republic and Madagascar for ratifying The #BBNJ Agreement/ #HighSeasTreaty.

To ensure implementation, The BBNJ Preparatory Commission (#BBNJPrepCom) was established by the UN General Assembly (UNGA) to lay the groundwork for the Treaty’s entry into force. At the moment, the 2nd Preparatory commission is going on in New York.

On 25th July 2015, The African Union launched the African day of seas and oceans to raise awareness on the importance of Africa's marine and coastal environments and the key role the oceans and seas play in promoting sustainable development and climate resilience.

Today is #InternationalPlasticBagFreeDay.

When plastic gets into the ocean, it poses a threat to the #MarineEnvironment in many ways. For instance, pieces of plastic can choke/strangle marine animals and when #microplastics get into the food chain, they cause a lot of health risks.

Happy to join @wecan-intl.bsky.social‬ on this panel about Oceans, Freshwater and Climate.
