  7. APEC Ocean-Related Ministerial Meeting concludes successfully after 11 years, with member countries agreeing to pursue 'Marine Resilience Enhancement Roadmap' and strengthen cooperation on various marine issues including climate change and sustainable fisheries.

  8. On a smaller scale, I collect garbage on the coast everytime I go on a photo outing by myself or with clients. We pick up stuff on our way back to my vehicle: ropes, plastic bottles, pieces of styrofoam, pipes, buoys, as much as we can carry back to my vehicle. We usually have to leave stuff behind, that's how much marine debris there is on the coast. Stuff that ''fall out'' cruise ships and fishing boats.

  9. "Humans kill at least 300,000 #cetaceans ... every year. The greatest cause of #death, and the biggest #threat ... is the #fishing industry, and the untold deaths caused due to #animals being caught as #bycatch in fishing harvests, or fatally entangled in lines, ropes and nets. Whales are also struck by ships and washed up on beaches with their bellies full of #plastic"

  10. Look at the awesome art, data, and public engagement that came out of the Earth Day Lake Champlain cleanup that my family and I participated in.

    Most common find: #cigarette #butts - just like everywhere else. I'm not sure smokers know/care that #littering butts adds #plasticpollution to the environment.

  11. Explored #Boston for a few days and stayed near Revere #Beach. While the kids dug in the sand, I pulled plastic out of a few feet of the wrack line. No pellets, but plenty of fragments and so much foam. Also, cigarette butts (not pictured). #PlasticPollution #MarineDebris #PlasticBeaches #Massachusetts #RevereBeach

  12. Brought the kids along to help local organizations cleaning up #MarineDebris #PlasticPollution along the #BurlingtonVT #LakeChamplain waterfront to celebrate #EarthDay. Unfortunately the synthetic fabric pictured here was so stuck under the riprap we had to give up. The shoreline itself was pretty clean, but the kids got about 10 gallons of trash in an hour just inland.

  13. "Our results suggest that the historical lack of available substrate limited the #colonization of the open #ocean by #coastal #species, rather than #physiological or #ecological constraints as previously assumed. It appears that coastal species persist now in the open ocean as a substantial component of a #neopelagic #community sustained by the vast and expanding #sea of #plastic #debris"

  14. @npr_bot #marinedebris #plasticpollution #conservation
    Interesting science finding..NPR should change the heading to “Deadly ocean plastic floating blob also contains many unexpected coastal marine creatures”

    Marine wildlife such as seabirds, whales, fish and turtles mistake plastic waste for prey; most then die of starvation as their stomachs become filled with plastic.

  15. #Microplastic found in #Antarctic #krill and #salps
    phys.org/news/2023-03-micropla

    "A new study led by researchers at the British Antarctic Survey (BAS) discovered #microplastics in krill (#Euphausia superba), a small shrimp-like crustacean, and salps (#Salpa thompsoni), a gelatinous #marine #invertebrate"

    The results are published in the journal Royal Society Open Science

  16. Surprisingly clean Roker beach #Sunderland - suspect gales the day before had blown a lot of surface debris off the beach, and sadly it’ll all appear again soon.

    Our #SeaShepherdUK
    volunteers still took 13 bags of #marinedebris off.

  17. Our next #SeaShepherdUK
    #beachclean is at Roker, #Sunderland this coming Saturday. 10-12, meet at the pier gates, all gear provided but please bring your own gloves. Any questions, give me a shout, we'd love to see any of you who are local there.

  18. Another trip to Newbiggin with Sea Shepherd UK, another big haul of marine debris: about twenty bags, tyres, and a whole load of industrial piping and ghostnet and just…stuff.
