Standing ovations for @steffi-lemke.de after her last speech as the minister of the environment at the first National Ocean conference in Berlin Germany. She has accomplished a lot during her tenure but obviously more needs to be accomplished

John Kerry remains a powerful speaker and spreads optimism for positive change in ocean and climate matters. “Change is in our hands” advocates for innovation, collaboration and action”

In the exhibition area of #OOC10 I found an image of a sea mount on display from a Korean ocean survey company. Did I ever mention that at @oceanquest.bsky.social we love sea mounts?

John Kerry who initiated the OurOcean conference series gave some inspiring remarks but also clear words on Climate Action and Ocean Protection. Great way to start my day #OOC10 🌊

Some high level words of support.

How can we encourage more financial engagement in sustainable ocean activities. Blue Finance remains a challenge to operate a scale. 🌊

The new German government has published it’s future work program. Excited to read that:
„Germany supports with its partners a moratorium on Deep Sea Mining and supports Deep Sea Research.“

I could have not asked for more alignment with our @oceanquest.bsky.social ambitions. 🌊
