The conference is running until the 3rd September so if you are interested in learning more about the #DeepOcean be sure to grab Elin for a chat 👋

In celebration of World Oceans Day, we’re giving you the chance to win a SIGNED copy of The Dark Frontier: Unlocking the Secrets of the Deep Sea by Dr Jeffrey Marlow, marine microbiologist, deep-sea explorer and one of DOSI’s Working Group leads!

As #PrepCom3 comes to a close, our DOSI delegation reflect on the last two weeks in New York. In our latest blog, we set out the differences between a Preparatory Commission and a Conference of the Parties and why this phase has been so important for #DeepOcean stewardship. 👉 buff.ly/GiLZAM3

Week 1 at #PrepCom3 has been focused on the building blocks of the #BBNJ Agreement. Our DOSI delegation is doing a great job on the ground, supporting delegate discussion on how the BBNJ Agreement will be operationalised. What's happened so far? 👇🧵

DOSI ambassadors are at #PrepCom3 for the #BBNJ Agreement in New York. Over the next two weeks, the DOSI delegation, led by Christine Gaebel & Marina Garwood, will be working to support States and other actors as they consider the rules, procedures, and institutions required for the implementation.

Mesonychoteuthis hamiltoni was formally described and named 100 years ago, in 1925, based on two partial specimens found in the stomach of a sperm whale near the South Shetland Islands. However, no one has ever captured footage of a living colossal squid — until now.

🦑 This baby is COLOSSAL! 🦑 First confirmed live observation of the colossal squid, Mesonychoteuthis hamiltoni, in its natural habitat. Filmed at about 600m near the South Sandwich Islands during the #SouthSandwichIslands expedition. youtu.be/lzPoG9H8Hlo

Today I know I need to post some more cool deep-sea science but am feeling very resistant today. The best I can do is combine the two. A thread.

It’s interesting that the emojis show the earth from three angles 🌎 🌍 🌏 but not the fourth. Though 🔵 is a fair approximation of what it would look like. People underestimate the Pacific.
