  1. UN #WorldOceansDay 2025, hosted by the Division for #Ocean Affairs and the Law of the Sea of the Office of Legal Affairs (DOALOS) in partnership with Oceanic Global, arrives at a time when the challenges facing our oceans have never been more daunting. winnmediaskn.com/un-world-ocea

  2. It's #WorldOceansDay, so I've drawn one of the five known species of truly ocean dwelling insect, sea skaters (Halobates spp). Sea skaters lay their eggs on hard surfaces floating in the open ocean; surfaces which have become increasingly abundant as oceans are increasingly polluted with plastic. Good for the sea skaters, maybe, but unfettered insect growth is rarely good for the rest of the ecosystem.

    I'd bet there are whole new species of Halobates sea skaters that evolved specifically on the Great Pacific Garbage Patch.

  4. Today is #WorldOceansDay! As someone who lives in a land-locked province in the middle of Canada, I marvel every time I set foot in ocean waters. Each is so diverse, both upon the shores and in the depths. And whenever I listen to the ocean, my breathing aligns with its ebbs and flows, reminding me that like every other aspect of nature, we are connected. How I care for the ocean is how I care for myself.

  5. On #WorldOceanDay, new co-authored paper that calls for rethinking development in coastal zones, away from extractive models and toward approaches that respect local knowledge, ecological interdependence, and justice.
    As climate change threatens our coasts, we must listen to and amplify the voices of communities who have long lived in harmony with the ocean

  17. For this upcoming #WorldOceansDay (June 8) we want to draw your attention to one of the ocean’s most destructive threats: #BottomTrawling.

    Dragging massive nets across the seafloor destroys vital habitats, harms marine species like seahorses, and jeopardizes the livelihoods of small-scale fishers.

  18. In 2008, the United Nations recognized June 8 as World Oceans Day to spotlight the rising vulnerabilities facing the oceans that cover more than 70% of Earth’s surface.

    Seventeen years later, average ocean temperatures have never been higher.

  19. Clean Up the Beach in #solidarity with #Heiltsuk Nation

    June 8 @ 11:00 am – 1:00 pm
    Join RAVEN and #Surfrider for a World Oceans Day beach cleanup, where we’ll be fundraising for Heiltsuk Nation’s legal challenge that aims to protect #marine #ecosystems from coast to coast to coast.

    This year, we’re choosing to engage in #community reciprocity not just for our own local #watersheds, but as an act of solidarity with Heiltsuk Nation, whose own beach cleanup — following the Nathan E. Stewart spill — is so much more complex.

    So, come out to #CloverPoint in Victoria on Sunday, June 8, 2025 from 11am-1pm for a community-powered beach cleanup. Together we are aiming to fundraise $2,000 for Heiltsuk’s legal challenge on #WorldOceansDay.

  22. So, TBH, I was a teen member of the #ClamshellAlliance, and later became an member of #EarthFirst and the #ThomasMortonAlliance (a #Pagan group dedicated to the defense of #MotherEarth). I've been fighting for our Mother my whole life and I'm willing to die for Her. This is the real deal. We live or die based on what we do now...

    "I wanna be a witness
    Or a victim to your spell
    Crackling in lightening
    Dressed in shadows
    Red like a carousel

    I want to be there
    When the savage comes
    I want to be there
    When the savage comes
    When your savage earth heart
    ... Cuts through

    Will you lay all of your
    Deepest wildest secrets bare?
    Will you let all of those
    Rumbling old gods take rage?
    I want to be there
    When the savage comes
    I want to be there
    When the savage comes
    When your savage earth heart
    Cuts through!"
    - Michael Scott, The Waterboys, 1982

  23. This #WorldOceansDay #WWFCanada is celebrating the launch of a #milestone #collaborative #report on #coastal
    #BlueCarbon #ecosystems in #Canada . #Global #evidence suggests that these ecosystems have tremendous value both #ecologically & as part of the #solution to #ClimateChange but we also know that we are losing them quickly.

    Blue carbon is a new field of #study - we know
    that some coastal ecosystems can absorb more #carbon per unit area than tropical forests.

  24. Yes, because running contaminated water through TWO crappy filtration systems that don't work makes for good publicity!

    "On September 21, 2021, #TEPCO announced that five more filters in ALPS were found to be damaged, and #radioactive contamination had been detected near some of the filters.

    "Would the situation then improve if the undertreated water undergoes a second round of ALPS treatment? 'The answer is still unknown,' said the insider. He added that the discharge plan provided by TEPCO neither explained how to ensure the nuclear-contaminated wastewater would meet discharge standards after treatment, nor did it include an impact analysis of the substandard water discharge.

    "'So far, TEPCO has only dealt with 0.25 percent of the nuclear-contaminated wastewater with a second round of treatment. It hasn't disclosed a timeline for the second round of treatment [for all the undertreated wastewater], nor has it ever publicized a plan on it,' he told the Global Times.
    TEPCO's passive attitude has chilled the heart of all the parties in and out of #Japan who are concern about the discharge.'"

  25. Detailed evidence exposes Japan's lies, loopholes in #nuclear-contaminated wastewater #dumping plan

    By Huang Lanlan, June 08, 2023

    "#TEPCO at first only listed 64 types of #radionuclides including H-3 and C-14 as a (data) foundation for the works including monitoring and analysis, emission control, and environmental impact assessment. These 64 radionuclides did not include the uranium isotope and certain other α-nuclides, which have long half-lives while some are highly toxic.

    "TEPCO's exclusion of the radionuclides mentioned above has greatly compromised the effectiveness of its monitoring work, as well as the credibility of its environmental impact assessment result, the insider stressed.

    "In the process of treating the nuclear-contaminated wastewater, the slight particle shedding of chemical precipitants and inorganic adsorbents in the ALPS may cause some radionuclides to exist in a colloidal state, the insider explained.

    "Therefore, TEPCO's assumption that all nuclides in nuclear-contaminated wastewater in the ALPS are water-soluble is obviously invalid, said the insider. 'TEPCO should scientifically and comprehensively analyze whether colloidal nuclides are present in the nuclear-contaminated wastewater based on the long-term operation experience of its ALPS system,' he noted.

  33. Today ends the second UN Plastic Treaty, a few days before #WorldOceansDay. "Global problems require global cooperation - I hope that all countries can come to the table to discuss our growing plastic pollution problem," says Linda Ameral-Zettler, plastic waste researcher at NIOZ. For her and other researchers, it's every day World Oceans Day.
