Very excited to share our new film "Sequoias of the Sea" premiering at the International Ocean Film Festival. This powerful documentary dives deep into the crisis facing Northern California's kelp forests. ioff2025.eventive.org/films/67c0d4fc… #helpthekelp #californiakelp #oceanfilms #IOFF25

Topic that rarely gets covered. A movie well worth seeing. Fatal Watch is a feature-length doc film about the mysterious disappearance of several fishery observers and the dangers of this obscure but vital type of work. Monday screening in DC and stage appearance with the directors. dceff2025.eventive.org/schedule/67b9f…

"Leave fossil fuels in the ground. It's so simple.This is the most important predicament humanity has ever faced and by design as a result of the enormous oppressive power of the fossil fuel industry, we're flunking it." George Monbiot. No time to waste. #ActOnClimate #cop28

So fun to talk with Kassia about surfing and kelp!

Proud of the Blue Frontier Team and Environ. Policy & Mngmt student Mallory Hoffbeck, far right. Mallory contributed to our new report "Turning Ocean Climate Policy into Action." What a great student experience! Go #OceanClimateAction team in Washington DC! #CHOW23

Great meeting with ocean champion @RepGaramendi on ocean climate connection and #kelp @Blue_Frontier #oceanclimateaction #chow2023

Due to hundreds of uncontrolled wildfires across Canada, New York City looks like a post-apocalyptic hellscape. If you want a prelude of what the world is going to look like if we do not address man-made climate change — this is it. #ActOnClimate

Celebrating 20 years of @oceanfilmfest 🌊🎥 with ocean champions @pcousteau @ashlancousteau @Helvarg @Blue_Frontier

Incredible satellite image from space showing all the sediment pouring out into the Pacific from gushing rivers across Northern California. Also notice the flooded Salinas Valley and muddied waters of the San Francisco Bay and rivers across the Sacramento Valley.

The ‘calm’ before the next #storm #BombCyclone #surfphotography Also, @faceinthings

This is one of the most spectacular-looking and powerful bomb cyclones I have ever seen. Heavy downpours, damaging winds, strong thunderstorms, widespread flooding, and even an isolated tornado are likely for California over the next 2 days.

Unbelievable satellite shot of the bomb cyclone off the coast of California. The central pressure of this cyclone will drop to the equivalent of a Category 3 hurricane.

On October 13, Erol, @836m_art, and #AboveBelow brought together scientists & policy experts to discuss the restoration of Californian kelp forests. It was wonderful to learn about the innovative initiatives to rebuild these vital ecosystems among state, federal, and NGO groups.

Instead of “going public,” you could say we’re “going purpose.” Instead of extracting value from nature and transforming it into wealth for investors, we’ll use the wealth Patagonia creates to protect the source of all wealth. Read Yvon's letter at pat.ag/Ownership
