"Delivering on #blueeconomy aspirations will require national and community-led efforts. A dual approach can help to establish more effective governance and engage an increasingly diverse set of people in resolving conflicts for the benefit of all of society." ✍️ @elizabethselig.bsky.social & team👇

Africa’s ocean wealth is vast—but without fair access, shared governance, and cooperation, it risks fuelling conflict instead of prosperity. theconversation.com/disputes-ove... #EnvironmentAndEnergy

“We are testing and deploying multiple technologies capable of collecting samples and data that are low-cost, while also maintaining the quality of traditional approaches,” says Collin Closek, a marine scientist at @oceansolutions.stanford.edu and a co-design lead for the Synchro program. ⬇️

The ocean is vast, dynamic, and difficult to access. Through a program at @stanfordhopkins.bsky.social, scientists and collaborators are able to test low-cost sensors, remote sensing imagery, and other technologies at scale – bringing innovative approaches to ocean research.

A recent @natureportfolio.nature.com editorial examines what the High Seas Treaty could mean for food systems. Our team co-led 2 cited efforts, Illuminating Hidden Harvests & the Blue Food Assessment, that draw connections between ocean protection & food security ➡️ www.nature.com/articles/s43...

Protecting the high seas - Nature Food

The High Seas Treaty, key to the conservation of international waters, will come into effect in January 2026. The full implications for food systems remain to be explored.
