Last week as 15,000 people gathered at UN Oceans Conference #UNOC3 in Nice to discuss how to #SaveOurOcean, right there at La Réserve de Nice, European Sea Bass, Barracudas (Yellowmouth?) & even dolphins swam past during our #WorldCoastalForum lunch. Here's a 🧵on other wonders there. #MySwim 1/14

The complete peace & tranqulity at Solana Resort, Anilao - with sea & air temperature both 29.9°C - was the perfectly appropriate antidote to high octane #WorldCoastalForum in Yancheng. Weather was kind & quite conducive to snorkelling despite it being typhoon season. #Luzon 5/7

GLAD @CBD_COP15 WG1 adds preambular #WorldCoastalForum text to Cooperation Decision as proposed by @NoelleKumpel @BirdLife_Policy for @RamsarConv International Organisation Partners @BirdLife_News @IUCN_Water @WetlandsInt @WWF @WWTworldwide supported by Iceland, China & Maldives

#BirdLife100 trip to @RSPBFrampton as inspiring for chats re #WorldCoastalForum with BirdLife Partners eg @MijnNatuurpunt as its wonderful coastal waterbirds, plants eg Sea Aster (but📷missed rare Sea Aster Mining Bee) & management eg by English Shorthorn cattle. #BirdsSeenIn2022

On #WorldSeagrassDay some denizens of the #RedSea Clump Sea Grass beds and adjacent habitats. Hopefully in time, #seagrass will be helped by the World Coastal Forum, to be launched this November on the occasion of #RamsarCOP14 #COP14 #WorldCoastalForum...
