#DYK whales & dolphins rely on sound as their primary sense? Activities like shipping, offshore development, seismic surveys & oil & gas exploration create underwater noise that can injure, disturb & displace them. But there is hope. Meet our ocean noise campaigner Emma 👉 tinyurl.com/yuw52yra

This kind of closed season gillnetting puts at risk not only #vaquita porpoises but also Upper Gulf community co-management potential & livelihood sustainability, as well as Mexico's efforts to restore US seafood trade through improved fishery governance for marine mammal bycatch mitigation.

Today was another incredible day on the water: we caught up with the T19s who successfully took a Steller sea lion in western Haro Strait! The winter lighting was reminiscent of the photos you see of foraging killer whales in Norway.

#Microplastics are often framed as a surface ocean problem, but new research shows that #copepods may be driving 100s of microplastics down the water column per cubic metre of seawater every day, by packaging #plastics into their negatively buoyant faecal pellets. Read 🔗 pml.ac.uk/news/watch-n...

Will 2026 be the year when coral reefs pass their tipping point?
Many coral reefs are already very vulnerable, and another El Niño is forecast.

The vaquita, found in the northern Gulf of California, is the most endangered marine mammal species in the world. Illegal fishing is to blame.

Orcas, also known as killer whales, are actually the world’s largest dolphin species. 🐬
They are long-lived, slow-maturing animals that invest heavily in few offspring, making populations slow to recover from declines and vulnerable to human threats.

And it is possible — because the Global Ocean Treaty will soon be coming into force, giving governments the power to make this future real.
