Blue Ocean Summit

Are you going to #DEMA2018? Catch us there with @Green_Fins! Learn from our recent presentations at the 1st Int'l #Sustainablediving workshop! Connect with your peers on the #bluegreen #scuba path. Can't make it? We will be virtual in Dec at #BOBS2018.

We're proud to partner with @GB_Rise as our #OceanAlly in creating a more sustainable #scuba #dive industry. #GreenBubbles trains dive shops to include ecological surveys and #marinebiology in their courses: bit.ly/2OcDrpm #SustaintheBlue #OceanLiteracy

Want to see the largest deep water #shark, sharks that glow in the dark, sharks that swell to twice their size when threatened, & a shark called "The Living Fossil"? . Watch here: bit.ly/2vwEbxQ

Island nations are the first to protect their treasures - #Coral #Reefs. First Hawaii, now Republic of Palau are banning sunscreens harmful to #MarineLife. Who's next? ⋘ bit.ly/2AWOH5z ⋙ #SunscreenBan #StopBleaching #SaveTheReef

Is closing down over-toured islands a good answer to the destruction of our paradise?: { bit.ly/2Kq0XwQ } #SustainTheBlue #OurOcean #ActonClimate #WaterisLife #NoBlueNoGreen #itsmorefuninthephilippines

Have you heard that #waterismedicine? . How? . There are many ways, explore 12 of them here: bit.ly/2G2Nm0Q . #BlueMind #BlueMindWorks #oceanoptimism

Why focus on straws? "Small" efforts to reduce demand & supply deserve support. That is how they lead into cultural & economic shifts, like in Rwanda where plastic bags are banned across the COUNTRY: bit.ly/2LHKw3P #SustainTheBlue #PlasticFreeJuly #PlasticorPlanet

Support or start a #CitizenScience project like this one that uses @inaturalist to gather data for @calacademy! { bit.ly/2I1nz7q } Projects like this spread #OceanLiteracy. #SustaintheBlue #OurOcean

#DYK the gender of sea turtles is determined by temperature? Trends show that turtles are being born increasingly female. Are they adapting? { bit.ly/2KQjyr6 } #SustainTheBlue #ScienceTwitter #TurtleTuesday #StopExtinction

Fortunately its not all grim in the world of #CoralReefs. Now technology has enabled us to think outside the box ➜ test coral #3Dprinting, research #coral genetics & MORE. Don’t miss out on the latest innovations: bit.ly/2pMtNiW . #IYOR2018 #Resilientreefs #OurOcean

#AfterTheSummit: Corps are led by people, who have children & who also want them to have a future....Eco-friendly innovation is often even more profitable w/o all the harm done to our oceans and our planet: bit.ly/2CASzdH #BlueEconomy #SustainTheBlue

Plankton, algae, and jellyfish all bioluminesce. But, did you know that upwards of 90% of animals do the same as they descend into deeper, darker waters? WATCH them here: bit.ly/2unSxAN #SustainTheBlue

#HopeSpots are critical areas in the ocean in need of protection to create a healthy planet for us. We have 2 new ones! AMAZING. Where are they?: { bit.ly/2OeC4Xb } #SustainTheBlue #OurBluePlanet #NoBlueNoGreen @MissionBlue @SylviaEarle Video: @NOAA @nature_org
