Thanks @artist-at-law.bsky.social for the question! There’s good evidence that marine heatwaves (MHWs) damage seagrass, and only very limited evidence that seagrass meadows can locally buffer temperature. @bioecoocean.bsky.social maybe you have other inputs / new research on this topic? 🌿🪸🌊

🌊 The Atlantic “conveyor belt” (AMOC) is weakening under climate change. A new @nature.com study suggests collapse is unlikely this century, but the risks remain very serious.

Hear from lead author @jonbakerocean.bsky.social in our next webinar.

Two messages from #UNOC3 stood out for us: 1️⃣the need to strengthen ocean #observation efforts and 2️⃣the need to tackle #climate crisis, #biodiversity loss, and #ocean health as interconnected challenges. ObsSea4Clim and @bioecoocean.bsky.social work is an important contribution to tackle these needs!

UNOC3 – what did we learn?

The UN’s 3rd Ocean Conference (UNOC3) took place from 9–13 June 2025 in Nice, France, drawing over 30,000 participants—including representatives from UN member states, stakeholders, and internation…
