🫵 Thanks to ocean lovers like you, together, we're working to ensure the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is fully funded and fully staffed.
✍️ Add your name now—it takes less than two minutes: takeaction.oceanconservancy.org/page/189586/...
The proposed cuts to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) fly directly in the face of the clear bipartisan support Congress showed earlier this year. Congress should *once again* reject these cuts.

📢 ICYMI: We chatted with Protect Where We Play Team Ocean Captain Kelvin Beachum Jr. about environmental advocacy, ocean conservation and what it means to him to engage and rally community around these important causes!

🚨 Yesterday, the Trump administration's Endangered Species Committee unanimously voted to override Endangered Species Act restrictions on oil and gas activities in the Gulf. 🚨
There's no time to wait. With your help, we can push back against harmful decisions like these and protect our ocean for generations to come.

This will likely fast-track construction of dangerous, dirty new offshore drilling facilities in sensitive areas home to beloved species like the critically endangered Rice’s whale, & could have irreversible consequences for species already on the brink. oceanconservancy.org/newsroom/pre...

For years, companies operating oil and gas rigs in our ocean have tried to get out of cleaning up their messes.
🚨 Enough is enough. 🚨
Join us and call on your elected officials this #FossilFoolsDay to pass the Plug Offshore Wells (POW) Act! 🗣️
ACT NOW: bit.ly/4dH01Wj
Decommissioning legally requires oil and gas companies to clean up after themselves once offshore drilling ceases.
But they often find ways to evade that responsibility, leaving taxpayers, towns and our ocean to foot the bill. Idle or abandoned wells sit in our ocean—disasters waiting to happen. ⚠️
Whale sharks' beautiful spots are truly special—no two are the same, just like our fingerprints! ☝️

🚨The ocean is warming 2X as fast as it used to🚨
In just the last 20 years, our ocean has warmed at more than double the rate we saw in the 4 decades prior.
The facts from the @wmo-global.bsky.social’s annual State of the Global Climate Report paint an alarming picture for our ocean & blue planet.
Meet some of the incredible minds behind the @oceanconservancy.org Wildlife Impact Calculator. They analyzed 10,000+ animal autopsies to answer: How much plastic is too much?
It's smaller than you might think—and cleanups make a difference. Check out your impact: 🌊 WildlifeImpactCalculator.org 🌊

Even 37 years after the Exxon Valdez disaster, oil spills still threaten our ocean. 🚨
But we have the power to break the cycle and stop our overdependence on dirty fossil
fuels. Tell Congress to move away from offshore oil and gas and toward a clean-energy future! 🛑

⚠️ Harmful chemical recycling is *not* actually recycling … it’s bad for our environment,
bad for people and bad for our ocean. ⚠️
It’s a no-brainer. Call on Congress to OPPOSE chemical recycling: https://bit.ly/4uCPH7B

We only have until April 1 to speak out against seabed mining in Alaska waters! 📢
The immense risk of long-term damage to Alaskan marine ecosystems is too high and
far outweighs any questionable, prospective benefits. ⚠️

There's one ocean creature that would LOVE the recent 'spring forward' into #DaylightSaving:
Our ocean's sunfish! 🌞
These giant fish love floating on their sides at the sea's surface to bask in the sun after dives into deeper, colder waters.

The #HighSeasTreaty is in full effect! 🌊
The high seas represent about two-thirds of the global ocean, yet less than 10% of these areas are protected. This treaty is the first global framework to protect the high seas.

The transparency of polar bears' thick coats is also thought to allow better heat absorption from the sun into their black skin beneath. This is super helpful when temperatures dip below -30° F in the Arctic! 🥶

Today is #InternationalPolarBearDay! 🐻❄️
Did you know polar bear fur isn’t actually white? It’s transparent! Their hair shafts are hollow, allowing the fur to reflect back the sun's light. Much like ice, this reflection allows these bears to appear white or even yellow. 🧊

Whales are extremely sensitive to human activity in our ocean, especially the increase in shipping and vessel traffic. ⚠️
But the Whale CHARTS Act has the chance to make real, lasting change for whale populations. 🐋
