Panama's Gulf of Chiriquí has what hawksbill sea turtles need: foraging habitat in the mangroves of Manglares de David and nesting beaches at Coiba and Parque Nacional Marino Golfo de Chiriquí. On #HawksbillSeaTurtleDay, MCF is proud to invest in this region. 🐢

Sharks have roamed our oceans for 450 million years, yet 1/3 of all #shark and ray species face extinction. 🦈 MCF supports @SharkRayFund, investing in the policy and enforcement needed to reverse that trend. Healthy sharks mean healthier oceans! sharkconservationfund.org/

When Oceans 5 began, global funding for marine protected areas totaled less than $1M. Today, it's grown to over $15M. Their grantees have helped secure the world's largest marine reserve in Antarctica's Ross Sea and advance protections worldwide.

The Cape Fear River is home to 500K people, fisheries, and birds. A proposed $1.3B port expansion puts 1,000 acres of wetlands and regional water quality at risk. MCF and @NCCoastalLT, @selc_org @AudubonNC, and @NCCoastalFed are sounding the alarm. moorecharitable.medium.com/a…

Stone crabs support a vital claw-only fishery across the Caribbean. The @CEIbahamas is training Bahamian fishers to use a method that encourages crabs to naturally release their claws, boosting survival and strengthening a fishery communities depend on. islandschool.org/

A proposed 100-mile industrial road through the West Susitna wilderness would cross 182 streams and open pristine fish habitat to large-scale mining. The Defend the West Su campaign, led by @wildsalmoncntr and @salmonstateak, is building a broad coalition to stop it!🌲🐻🦅
