ALL HANDS ON DECK TO #FreePaulWatson 🏴‍☠️🐋 For decades, Captain Paul Watson, who leads @CaptPaulWatson Foundation, co-founded Greenpeace and founded Sea Shepherd - has stood up for our oceans. Now he needs us to stand up for him. Sign the petition here: paulwatsonfoundation.org

This morning, Captain Paul Watson was arrested in Nuuk, Greenland by Danish federal police, who boarded the M/Y John Paul DeJoria as soon as it docked. The crew had stopped to refuel while en route to the Northwest Passage as part of #OpKangeiMaru, our campaign aimed at intercepting Japan’s newly-built factory ship, the Kangei Maru, in the North Pacific. It is believed that this arrest is connected to a previous Red Notice issued for Watson’s anti-whaling activities in the Antarctic. This development comes as a surprise since the Foundation’s lawyers had reported that the Red Notice had been withdrawn. However, it appears that Japan had made the notice confidential to facilitate Paul’s travel for the purpose of making an arrest. Although Japan has operated in violation of the ICJ ruling for several years, they ceased Antarctic high-seas whaling in 2016 and now only hunt whales within their territorial waters. CPWF suspects that Japan intends to resume high-seas whaling in the Southern Ocean and North Pacific by 2025, and believes the reactivation of the Red Notice against Captain Watson is politically motivated, coinciding with the launch of the new factory ship. Paul is currently in custody, and it is unclear if Denmark will extradite him to Japan. We need Paul released immediately! We urge the Danish government to release Paul and reject this politically motivated request. #FREEPAULWATSON

Currently, the aviation industry contributes 2-3% of global CO2 emissions, and one company is pioneering efforts to mitigate this impact. @AirCoNYC's mission? To reduce industrial greenhouse gas emissions through cutting-edge carbon technology platforms. parley.tv/journal/materi…

Up until now, what polar bears eat, and how many calories they burn on land, has been a mystery. Earlier this month, the @USGS released footage from GPS-enabled cameras that were strapped to 20 polar bears to answer a burning question: Can they adapt to a life with less sea ice?

In the first interview for our new Material Revolution series, we spoke to bananatex the company’s work, what fashion's role is in averting the climate crisis, and the magic of the Abacá banana plant. ⁠Read the full feature here. 🍌 parley.tv/journal/materi…

As senior researcher Gunhild Bodtker told @SkyNews: "I was happily surprised because it means the cleanup has efficiently reduced the leakage of microplastic into the sea. Clean up plastic on the shores – it really makes a difference."

To all of our Parley volunteers, country teams and everyone else cleaning up around the world – KEEP GOING! 💥 A new report from one of Norway's largest research organizations has found that Intercepting plastic waste effectively prevents microplastics from forming...

"I grew up taking a bag to go shopping. There were no plastic bags. In 30 years, we have filled the planet with plastic. There are things, like single-use plastic bags, that we can live without," said @RolphPayet, Executive Secretary of @brsmeas, at the #ICCM5 Youth Forum.
