When it comes to the deep sea, “there may be hundreds of thousands of species that we’re still waiting to discover,” says #PewMarineFellow Diva Amon.
The only problem? Deep-sea mining could damage habitats we’re only beginning to understand. pew.org/49JWvWP

👏Congratulations to Belgium🇧🇪 on the news its Federal Parliament voted in favour of ratifying the #HighSeasTreaty.
This is a key national ratification milestone along the way to Belgium joining the #RaceForRatification in time for #UNOC3.

🌊 Belgium has taken an important step towards ratification of the #BBNJ Agreement with the approval of the law for ratification by the Federal Parliament. Protecting biodiversity in the high seas is a priority for our country. Belgium is a candidate to host the BBNJ Secretariat.

so much like stars
filling the dark trees
that one could easily imagine
its reason for being was nothing more

🌊 While much of the conversation at #COP16Colombia will focus on terrestrial ecosystems, it is crucial that the ocean receives the attention it deserves.
The ocean community is proud to bring the #NatureIsAlsoBlue campaign to @COP16Oficial 🧵

Another amazing mound at El Quisco North, just bursting with tube worms!
It's really cool to see how the seeps here are shaping the nearby ecology - lots of fish, squid, sharks all hovering around the oasis...
