🇬🇧 Bluewashing: the UN says Global Agreements are saving the seas. Are they?

When decades-old success stories are used to reassure us about an ocean crisis that's only getting worse.

—

The UN celebrated Naples' cleaner beaches as proof that international diplomacy is "saving the seas." But a cleaner beach from the 1970s ≠ a healthier ocean today.

🎬 Seaspiracy: do ocean institutions deliver change or just reassurance?

🎬 Ocean: ecosystems can recover — but only when protection is enforced.

—

What the UN glosses over:

🐟 70%+ of Mediterranean fish stocks overfished

♻️ 2,000 garbage trucks of plastic dumped daily — treated as a footnote

🧪 PFAS ("forever chemicals") — not mentioned at all

💶 Environment Fund reminders — conflating regional success with global solution

—

International agreements help. But managing symptoms ≠ solving the crisis.

Never mistake a cleaned-up beach for a saved sea.

🇮🇹 Bluewashing: l'ONU dice che gli accordi globali stanno salvando i mari. È vero?

Quando i successi di decenni fa vengono usati per rassicurarci su una crisi oceanica che peggiora.

—

L'ONU ha celebrato le spiagge di Napoli più pulite come prova che la diplomazia sta "salvando i mari". Ma spiaggia più pulita ≠ oceano più sano.

🎬 Seaspiracy: le istituzioni marine producono cambiamenti o solo rassicurazioni?

🎬 Ocean: gli ecosistemi possono recuperare — ma solo con protezione reale.

Cosa l'ONU trascura:

🐟 70%+ degli stock ittici nel Mediterraneo sovrasfruttati

♻️ 2.000 camion di plastica al giorno — trattato come nota marginale

🧪 PFAS ("forever chemicals") — non menzionati

💶 Fondo per l'Ambiente — successo regionale confuso con soluzione globale

—

Gli accordi internazionali aiutano. Ma gestire i sintomi ≠ risolvere la crisi.

Mai scambiare una spiaggia pulita per un mare salvato.

#DamRemoval Efforts Lead to a Stunning Comeback for #Maine’s #Alewives

Along most of the Atlantic coast, alewives are struggling after decades of damming and #overfishing. But in Maine, the fish is rebounding—and towns’ historic harvests are growing.

By Sydney Cromwell
July 6, 2026

Excerpt:
"[The Alewife or River Herring] lives mostly in the Atlantic Ocean, from Newfoundland to South Carolina, but in early summer the adults migrate as far as 100 miles inland to spawn in ponds and lakes.

"Alewives aren’t considered a game fish, though some people do catch and smoke them. But they are a linchpin for Maine’s river ecosystems—one that basically disappeared from many of those rivers for decades.

"They act as a 'biological conveyor belt' of nutrients between the ocean and inland waters, said Rustin Taylor, the executive director of the Alewife Harvesters of Maine.

"Seals, otters, bald eagles, ospreys, pollock, trout and other carnivores eat alewives. The fish fed generations of Native communities and colonial and industrial American towns. The #Passamaquoddy tribe’s name for the species, #siqonomeq, translates to 'the fish that feeds all.' "

#IndigenousLands are crucial for #ClimateMitigation and #resilience.

Research shows their health is a direct result of #IndigenousStewardship.

"As the impacts of #ClimateChange continue to escalate, a growing number of climate scientists and policymakers cite Indigenous lands as a model for their rich #biodiversity and effective carbon storage. But that recognition has not always translated into space for Indigenous leaders in climate negotiations, access to #ClimateResilience funding, or enforcement of #HumanRights standards.

"That has been the case for decades. But the problems do not stop there. New research shows that approach overlooks the key role that Indigenous knowledge and culture can play in mitigating climate change. It also reveals a dangerous misconception that has taken hold in global climate discussions: the idea that Indigenous lands are so rich because they are remote or sparsely populated.

"Nothing could be further from the truth. The health of Indigenous lands and their ability to store vast quantities of carbon stem from the stewardship of the people who inhabit them.

"That’s the finding of research from Conservation International, which shows that traditional knowledge, community protocol, and Indigenous culture play a direct role in protecting forests, wildlife, and the environment. Sushma Shrestha, who is #Indigenous #Newar from #Nepal and the study’s lead author, said the research comes at a critical time.

" 'All of humanity relies on everything that #IndigenousPeoples have to contribute and offer in terms of their lands, in terms of carbon storage, in terms of biodiversity conservation,' she said.

"The study, released as a narrative report and a peer-reviewed study, explores how #IndigenousKnowledge and practices benefit the planet. It also found that all 43 of the surveyed communities are experiencing drought, extreme weather, and other adverse impacts from climate change. More than half are affected by #ExtractiveIndustries like #mining and #logging.

"Researchers interviewed 49 Indigenous leaders from six continents about how they steward their land, which ranged from the Amazon rainforest to East African savannas and Pacific Islands. They found that traditional management practices like avoiding #overfishing, maintaining sacred spaces, watching for fires and other threats, and direct resistance against extraction contribute to the remarkable health of Indigenous territory. Ninety-six percent of respondents said they had land set aside for special uses, like spiritual practices, that also benefit the environment by protecting those spaces and ecosystems. Shrestha stressed that although each Indigenous community is distinct, there are shared lessons the entire world can learn from.

" 'It’s a time where all hands need to be on deck,' Shrestha said. 'And collectively, actions need to be taken, and indigenous peoples have been doing this on their own for a very long time.'

"The study builds on years of research that shows, among other things, that the world’s healthiest forests are on Indigenous lands and conservation efforts are more effective when they incorporate Indigenous autonomy and decision-making at every step."

Research shows their health is a direct result of #IndigenousStewardship.

"As the impacts of #ClimateChange continue to escalate, a growing number of climate scientists and policymakers cite Indigenous lands as a model for their rich #biodiversity and effective carbon storage. But that recognition has not always translated into space for Indigenous leaders in climate negotiations, access to #ClimateResilience funding, or enforcement of #HumanRights standards.

"That has been the case for decades. But the problems do not stop there. New research shows that approach overlooks the key role that Indigenous knowledge and culture can play in mitigating climate change. It also reveals a dangerous misconception that has taken hold in global climate discussions: the idea that Indigenous lands are so rich because they are remote or sparsely populated.

"Nothing could be further from the truth. The health of Indigenous lands and their ability to store vast quantities of carbon stem from the stewardship of the people who inhabit them.

"That’s the finding of research from Conservation International, which shows that traditional knowledge, community protocol, and Indigenous culture play a direct role in protecting forests, wildlife, and the environment. Sushma Shrestha, who is #Indigenous #Newar from #Nepal and the study’s lead author, said the research comes at a critical time.

" 'All of humanity relies on everything that #IndigenousPeoples have to contribute and offer in terms of their lands, in terms of carbon storage, in terms of biodiversity conservation,' she said.

"The study, released as a narrative report and a peer-reviewed study, explores how #IndigenousKnowledge and practices benefit the planet. It also found that all 43 of the surveyed communities are experiencing drought, extreme weather, and other adverse impacts from climate change. More than half are affected by #ExtractiveIndustries like #mining and #logging.

"Researchers interviewed 49 Indigenous leaders from six continents about how they steward their land, which ranged from the Amazon rainforest to East African savannas and Pacific Islands. They found that traditional management practices like avoiding #overfishing, maintaining sacred spaces, watching for fires and other threats, and direct resistance against extraction contribute to the remarkable health of Indigenous territory. Ninety-six percent of respondents said they had land set aside for special uses, like spiritual practices, that also benefit the environment by protecting those spaces and ecosystems. Shrestha stressed that although each Indigenous community is distinct, there are shared lessons the entire world can learn from.

" 'It’s a time where all hands need to be on deck,' Shrestha said. 'And collectively, actions need to be taken, and indigenous peoples have been doing this on their own for a very long time.'

"The study builds on years of research that shows, among other things, that the world’s healthiest forests are on Indigenous lands and conservation efforts are more effective when they incorporate Indigenous autonomy and decision-making at every step."

💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 🍝🤌 A sea urchin #pasta craze is fueling illegal nighttime #poaching in #Naples’ #Gaiola Underwater Park.

Marine biologists found that poachers strip up to 17% of the park’s purple #urchins in one night – removing a #keystonespecies that keeps algal growth in check and supports #predator #fish populations. The trade is entirely black market in #Campania, with scientists calling for a nationwide harvest moratorium.
