June 8 marks #WorldOceanDay.
We honor this day by highlighting the need to protect marine life from human #fishing activities—a step that has the potential to both tackle biodiversity loss and the ongoing climate crisis. @WorldOceansDay👇 1/10

Ocean ecosystems are vital since oceans:
🗺️ make up 70% of Earth’s surface
🫁 produce 80% of the oxygen we breathe
🐠 house 80% of all life on Earth
At the same time:
🎣98.5% of the #ocean is open to fishing fleets

Did you know at least eight million tonnes of plastics end up in the oceans every year?
We take a look at 8 critically endangered marine species 👇

Great hammerhead sharks are known for their distinctive mallet-shaped heads.
They are often targeted for their fins and caught as bycatch during fishing.

European eels have snake-like bodies that can reach a length of 1.3 metres.
Dams and hydroelectric turbines disrupt eels’ migration routes, and overfishing has caused a steady decline in their population.

How about a 🧵of ocean memories for #OceanMonth? Here is the sunset off the coast of Monterrico, Guatemala. It was the first time I saw the Pacific Ocean irl and just before this we got to see a release of baby Olive Ridley sea turtles from a local rescue hatchery 1/30
That time I took my friend Jess’ pup Zoe (RIP) for a morning walk on the Jersey shore and we combatted plastic pollution together while I sent work emails from my Blackberry (also RIP) #OceanMemories-4-#OceanMonth 2/30
That time the sun came out for 10 min. at @aaas in Vancouver in 2012 & Canada’s coast revealed every shade of blue! I was there w/ @OceanHealthIndx, but I had better luck pitching the carbon footprint of a shrimp cocktail science.org/content/articl… #OceanMemories-4-#OceanMonth 3/30

1. 80% of the oxygen humans breathe comes from the Ocean
2. global warming will kill corals within decades causing rippling ecosystem collapse with devastating effects on the planet
3. ocean acidification & deoxygenation cause extinction both are happening now

“You like to breathe?” Crosby asked. “Estimates are that up to 80% of the oxygen you are breathing in right now comes from the ocean. businessinsider.fr/us/coral-reefs…
90% of corals dead by 2040s.
(99-100% dead soon after we hit 2°C of global warming by 2035 - 2050)

1- Si nos ponemos tiquismiquis podríamos considerar que solo existe un #océano, esa gran extensión de agua que cubre en continuo más del 70% de la superficie del #planeta.

2- Sin embargo, el océano global no es uniforme y habitualmente se ha delimitado a su vez en cuatro grandes océanos en función de sus características particulares: #Pacífico, #Atlántico, #Índico y #Ártico.
