Mangroves and seagrass store up to 5x more carbon than forests on land. The ocean absorbs about 90% of the excess heat from greenhouse emissions. None of that works if the ocean destabilizes. Climate and ocean health are one issue. #marinelife 🦑 #greensky 🌊 🎥UN Ocean Decade

Jon Corsiglia (he/him/el) | Eco-Economy Insider@ecoeconomyinsider.com · 2mo agoI want to tell you a bit about why I’m posting here on BlueSky, because I think it matters for whether you trust anything I post. It starts with a job I took straight out of college that shaped everything I’ve done since. 🧵 1/10
We launched our next call for proposals at #OurOceanKenya, worth €17 million of #OceanOptimism. Excited to support #30x30 financing through Blue Carbon. #OceanGrants 💶🌊
1/ 🌊 The ocean just had one of its biggest years in a generation, and most people missed it. Treaties in force. Species rebounding. Two landmark UN reports. $6.4B pledged in Kenya. I recapped the whole thing. Wins + honest caveats. 🧵
Rebuild reefs. Rewild forests. Conserve wetlands. Replenish aquifers. Every one of these is also us, saving us. #ICanGetBehindThat
Oakland’s climate stripes are closest to home. Pleasanton Ridge, Cowell’s, Natural Bridges, Point Lobos: the places my kids and I love. The 2014-16 marine heatwave already gutted kelp forests here. Already happened, not a forecast. Insurance already ran the math on this coast. #ShowYourStripes

It's about to be hauled out of the water, sensor by sensor. Senators from both parties are calling it illegal. All actions you can take in one 5-minute hub. wp.me/pfuM3b-7o
This is exactly the kind of story I love. Solar-powered cold storage units in Kenya are slashing food spoilage from 50% down to under 2%, and farmers are earning up to 50% more per kilogram sold. One piece of technology, two climate wins at once. Because here’s the thing most people miss:

The tide is turning on OOI. Today, 11 senators (including one Republican) and 23 House members sent letters to NSF demanding they stop the dismantling of the Ocean Observatories Initiative.
David Ho@davidho.bsky.social · 2mo agoA bipartisan group of senators plans to introduce legislation to halt NSF's dismantlement of the Ocean Observatories Initiative (OOI), a network of ocean sensors crucial for tracking ocean circulation, marine ecosystems, climate change, and extreme weather. 🌊🧪

"Opening monuments to fishing" sounds like helping fishermen. It isn't. They were already catching as much tuna as legally allowed. What this actually opens is the seafloor, to industrial gear, in waters protected for Indigenous communities and science.

What floats and what sinks when it comes to ocean-based climate solutions?
Many ocean-based climate solutions deserve funding to boost deployment. But their worth must be weighed against that of other, potentially more impactful solutions – both at sea and on land.

We don't spend money protecting wetlands. We save it. Coastal marshes are the flood walls we never had to build, and during Hurricane Sandy they blocked over $625 million in flood damage. #wetlands #naturebasedsolutions #ecosystemservices #floodresilience #naturalinfrastructure
