Tens of thousands of dead fish have washed up on the Gulf Coast of Texas due to low oxygen levels in the water. When seas warm up, oxygen is released into the air potentially leading to mass suffocation events like this 🌊🐟🌡️ #ActOnClimate

Thu 8am 6/1 Update: Showers & thunderstorms have increased and become better organized with an area of low pressure located over the NE Gulf of Mexico. This system now has a medium chance of formation (🟠50%) over the next day or so. However, by this weekend environmental conditions are forecast to become unfavorable for additional development as the system drifts southward, likely remaining offshore over the Gulf of Mexico. An Air Force Reserve Hurricane Hunter aircraft (@53rdWRS) is scheduled to investigate this system this afternoon. nhc.noaa.gov/gtwo.php?basin… #AL91

Wetland habitats support a rich diversity of life, but 35% of the world’s #wetlands have disappeared in the last 50 years. Wetland restoration not only increases #biodiversity but their ability to produce ecosystem services for the benefit of people. #ForWetlands Via @IUCN

#Wetlands are our most valuable ecosystem with critical services for #biodiversity, health, water security & climate adaptation. But we are losing wetlands 3x faster than forests. We must accelerate actions for the conservation & #restoration of them. via @RamsarConv
