Check out my recent briefing on WPR to learn more about what's at stake as the #UN's #WorldOceansSummit unfolds. #DeepseaMining for #CriticalResources is a summit focal point, with an increasing number of nations stating their support for a delay or a moratorium on mining the depths of our oceans.

Local community action key 4 oceans; social networking, volunteered geographic information (VGI) opening up new avenues #WorldOceansSummit
Lubchenco cites need for capacity building to inform policy. See this NRC report as an example http://bit.ly/wj8NcA #WorldOceansSummit
We can have tons of ocean data, but if still dispersed, diff countries w/diff approaches, what to do? See UNESCO IOC IODE #WorldOceansSummit
Watson-Wright cites need for global assessment for oceans, a regular "checkup" Could Ocean Health Index be the answer? #WorldOceansSummit
Lubchenco: We need to reduce stressors over which we have some control (flow of nutrirents to sea, overfishing, hab loss) #WorldOceansSummit
Stressors on ocean ecosystems interact WITH 1 another; overfishing interacts w/climate change, flow of nutrients to sea #WorldOceansSummit
Jane Lubchenco: 2 great barriers: Illegal Unregulated Unreported (IUU) fishing (aka pirate fishing); ocean acidification #WorldOceansSummit
Jane Lubchenco: 2 great tools: rights-based approaches to fishery mgmt & EBM approaches to habitat protection #WorldOceansSummit
