@mvisbeck.bsky.social is a physical oceanographer who combined observations, modeling, and theory to understand the ocean and climate. Having been a professor at Columbia and Kiel University, he's now the CEO of OceanQuest. He was formerly the President of The Oceanography Society.

Did you send it to 5 people? That would be an amazing quota. 😎

So sorry to see this. I recall many great meetings in this building during my 1995-2004 time at Lamont and Columbia University.

Congratulations 🎊

Team Malizia announced today at the first National Ocean Conference of Germany the launch of Malizia Science, a sailing research vessel. Congratulations Boris Hermann!

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

Inspiring start of Germany's 1st Ocean Conference #Meereskonferenz by @bmuv.bsky.social with @oceanunger.bsky.social and @steffi-lemke.de. No Healthy Planet Without Healthy Oceans' Peter Thomsen #LebendigeMeere

Looking foward to speak about: “Ocean Futures: Celebrating Discovery, Observing Change, and Embracing Digital Twins for Ocean Sustainability”

Unbelievable

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”

Our Ocean Conference official opening ceremony underway #OOC10 Korea hosts a grand opening ceremony and announced ambitious ocean sustainability actions.

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?

As a non native I needed to ask for the difference

- **Learnings** = Insights/knowledge gained (noun).
- **Lessons** = Teachings (noun).

🤷‍♂️

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.

In fairness to the organizers they are discussing a wide range of options. So very much in line with what you support.

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

We love seamounts at @oceanquest.bsky.social thank you for amplifying the importance of these very special parts of the Deep Ocean.

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. 🌊

Leg 4 of the Around Africa Expedition is coming to a close. @oceanxorg.bsky.social and OceanQuest are supporting this contribution to the @unoceandecade.bsky.social Cabo Verde scientists lead this expedition ably and allowed us to explore their seamount systems together.

When you have the pleasure to be invited by the Cabo Verde Ocean explorers to discover they seamount systems together.

Did I mention that sea mounts are very exciting places to explore 🌊 … we just finished the final ROV dive on the Nola Seamount System in CaboVerde…. So much deep ocean to explore @OceanQuest @oceanxorg.bsky.social @geomarkiel.bsky.social

The president of Cabo Verde took a nice picture of me under water. Exploring sea mounts is amazing @oceanxorg.bsky.social and @oceanquest

Sea mounts are amazing 🤩 🌊 in particular if you get to explore them @OceanQuest and @oceanxorg.bsky.social and @geomarkiel.bsky.social
