“An MPA is like a bank account for today and an investment for the future.” On @wearehpr, scientist Dr. Richmond highlights the essential role that marine protected areas play in boosting fish populations -creating both natural and economic benefits. 🌊hawaiipublicradio.org/the-conversati…

The @StarAdvertiser editorial board voiced its opposition to Trump's attempt to allow extractive industrial fishing in the PIHMNM: “wrong on so many levels.” Read the full article: bit.ly/4klTYXy 👉🏽Sign the petition to protect our ocean & future bit.ly/ProtectPIHMari…

The deep sea is our common heritage: It is NOT for sale.

Read the powerful stories by @CivilBeat about Indigenous advocates from Hawaiʻi, French Polynesia, Micronesia, the Cook Islands, and across the Pacific working together to protect the ocean from deep sea mining. civilbeat.org/2025/03/diggin…

But the administration is considering a request by mining company Impossible Metals, despite the myriad concerns. We repeat: The deep sea is our common heritage: It is NOT for sale. nytimes.com/2025/05/21/cli…

President Trump is attempting to fast-track deep sea mining. This short-sighted move goes against the UN Law of the Sea and an international process with governments, Indigenous peoples, scientists, and civil society to understand the long-term risks.

BREAKING: Lawsuit filed to halt President Trump’s attempt to open Pacific Islands Heritage Marine National Monument to Industrial Fishing. We applaud Kāpaʻa, the Conservation Council for Hawai‘i, and the @CenterForBioDiv represented by @Earthjustice, in their lawsuit.

Kalama is a culturally & ecologically irreplaceable place. But the U.S. military wants to use the Pacific island to construct rocket operations for the Space Force. Kalama has already endured decades of abuse & we strongly oppose this plan. Speak up: change.org/p/protect-kala…

🚨President Trump attempts to bypass international law with a new order to fast track deep-sea mining. 🚫We say Aʻole to Deep-Sea Mining. The deep sea is a source of life and creation – not a place for industrial extraction.

BREAKING: @POTUS issued an EO to open the Pacific Islands Heritage Marine National Monument to industrial fishing. This reckless move threatens one of the most pristine habitats in the world, teeming with whales, sharks, rays & birds. Press release here: bit.ly/3GecAJH

@SpaceForceDoD Sign and share the petition opposing commercial rocket testing at a national wildlife refuge and marine protected area: change.org/protectjohnsto…

@SpaceForceDoD For nearly a century, Kalama (Johnston Atoll) has been under military control and endured destructive practices from nuclear testing to chemical stockpiling of Agent Orange. #Enough is enough. Ancestral Pacific waters are NOT a rocket testing site.

🚨 U.S. Space Force want to construct landing pads and test cargo rocket landings at Kalama (Johnston Atoll)—threatening endangered marine life & cultural heritage. We object and demand a full EIS 📢 #ProtectPacific #NoRocketTesting

With the wrongful termination of hundreds of NOAA employees by the administration over the weekend, we must continue fighting to protect this institution. Thank you @ChrisVanHollen, @RepRaskin, @RepDonBeyer, @RepAprilDelaney, and @RepGlennIvey for rallying with to #SaveNOAA 📣

We join the thousands of people calling for a full Environmental Impact Statement by the FAA and consultation with local communities before the increased launches or landings are allowed.

We oppose the proposed expansion of SpaceX’s Pacific operations. The landing zones encompass diverse ecosystems and hold cultural significance — and they deserve to be protected. yahoo.com/news/elon-musk…
