Scientists helped bleached corals recover by connecting them to healthy clones in the lab. Ocean life CAN bounce back when given a chance. Put ocean life before corporate greed: cut emissions, end destructive fishing and protect at least 30% of our ocean by 2030. #ProtectTheOceans #coral #marinelife #oceans

“No one is coming to rescue us” says Greta Thunberg at #COP31. She’s right. WE have to choose leaders who will break free of fossil fuels, massively expand renewable generation and electrification, transform food production and protect the oceans. 📹: Greenpeace Türkiye #renewables #renewableenergy #makepolluterspay #fossilfuels #protecttheoceans #stopbigag #turkey #türkiye #climate #climatechange #climatecrisis

PRESS RELEASE: Activists aboard the Greenpeace ship Arctic Sunrise have placed giant boulders to block bottom trawling across 116 km² of the Southern North Sea Marine Protected Area. The UK government must ban destructive fishing in ALL protected waters. #ProtectTheOceans #trawling #overfishing #oceans #marinelife

Another oil spill, this time off Umm Al Quwain in the UAE. How long will marine life and coastal communities keep paying for our dependence on oil? Governments must get moving on renewables. Protect the Gulf’s waters and the people who depend on them. #oilspill #uae #fossilfuels #protecttheoceans #oceans #marinelife

The current rate of progress will take 265 YEARS to fully protect 30% of the ocean. The deadline is 2030, not 2291. Governments must stop letting industrial fishing fleets plunder our ocean for profit. Deliver real ocean sanctuaries NOW. #ProtectTheOceans #oceans #ocean #COP17 #CBD #marinelife #oceanprotection #overfishing

A lovely story out of Tanzania following Husna Aminu's efforts to protect coral reefs and train a new generation of nature defenders. 💚🌍💪 https://www.dw.com/en/the-women-helping-tanzanias-coral-reefs-recover/video-79601229 #ProtectTheOceans

#AfricanPenguinDay 🐧 We are losing our penguins.⁠⁣ Industrial fishing is emptying our oceans of fish and destabilising ecosystems that have survived for thousands of years. This simply cannot go on.⁠ We need to stop these greedy industrial fishing companies plundering our waters 👉 https://act.gp/3DPi0Kr #AfricanPenguin #AfricanPenguinDay #Penguins #ProtectTheOceans #Wildlife #SouthAfrica

DYK? 🐢 40% of marine animals caught globally is unintended bycatch, including hundreds of thousands of turtles and seabirds. 🧴An estimated 171 trillion plastic particles float on the ocean surface. 🐟 Around 90% of global fish stocks are fully- or overexploited. 🪸 Now the corporations want to start mining the seafloor. We can stop the destruction before it starts. 🦈 Humans kill ca. 11,000 sharks every hour. #ProtectTheOceans >>

🚨 OCEAN HEAT: Last year, our seas absorbed heat equal to almost 40 TIMES all energy humanity used. With 84% of global coral reefs struck by bleaching-level heat stress, fossil fuel corporations and industrial meat and dairy are cooking our living ocean for profit. Protect our oceans NOW. #oceans #marinelife #heat #extremeheat #climatechange #climatecrisis #climate #protecttheoceans

As if our oceans aren't already facing record heat, plastic waste, and industrial exploitation… now governments and arms dealers want to turn the seabed into the next battlefield. The ocean is a living ecosystem that sustains all life, not a playground for war and corporate profit. https://www.cnbc.com/2026/09/19/underwater-war-sea-drones-defense-tech.html #oceans #war #military #protecttheoceans #peace #marinelife

At a recent event, Trump was given a gold replica of a deep sea nodule that American Ocean Minerals – a billion-dollar company – hopes to mine from the Pacific seabed. Just to be clear, the polymetallic nodules aren’t actually made of gold. But a deep sea mining gold rush for minerals would cause untold damage to ecosystems that humans do not even fully understand. https://act.gp/3DPi0Kr #StopDeepSeaMining #ProtectTheOceans 📸 Craig Hudson (@chudsonphoto)

We have a chance to turn the tide. If world leaders act swiftly, they can protect at least 30% of the ocean by 2030 — giving marine life space to recover, helping stabilise our climate, safeguarding the livelihoods of billions of people, and securing a thriving planet for generations to come. #ProtectTheOceans >>

BREAKING: A new report warns global coral cover is now well below normal levels and facing IRREVERSIBLE decline as fossil fuel heating bakes our seas. END the fossil fuel era before the damage becomes permanent. #oceans #protecttheoceans #climate #climatechange #climatecrisis #fossilfuels #coral #marinelife

🚨 OCEAN HEAT: We are entering uncharted territory. Record-breaking ocean temperatures are pushing ecosystems closer to dangerous tipping points. Fossil fuel corporations and big polluters are gambling with a liveable planet for profit. #ProtectTheOceans #ClimateChange #ClimateCrisis #ExtremeWeather #MarineLife #ClimateScience

RECORD OCEAN HEAT: On 21 August, global sea-surface temperatures hit their hottest day on record, fuelled by El Niño and the climate crisis. Big polluters must STOP heating and acidifying our living ocean for profit. #oeans #heat #heatwave #elniño #climatechange #climatecrisis #makepolluterspay #protecttheoceans

Protecting the ocean also means protecting the right of coastal communities to keep their culture alive and pass their stories on. #ProtectTheOceans

Deep sea mining is a looming catastrophe for oceans and marine life, a new front in extractivist abuse that must be STOPPED before it starts. This is pure corporate greed carving up the seabed and gambling with ecosystems we barely understand. #ProtectTheOceans #StopDeepSeaMining

The ocean isn’t just overheating, it’s LOSING ITS BREATH. Scientists say global waters have already lost around 2% of their oxygen, pushing marine life towards an “unsafe space” with potentially irreversible impacts. Protect the oceans, stop new oil and gas. #ProtectTheOceans #oceans #heat #marinelife #ocean #fossilfuels #climatechange
