"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👇

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.

Parties to the #ParisAgreement can leverage #BlueFoods for climate action while protecting them against future climate hazards @cop30brazil.bsky.social. View research and resources ➡️ bit.ly/bluefoodclimate Hear from changemakers who are securing sustainable blue foods 🎥 ▶️ bit.ly/bluefoodvideo

Securing sustainable blue food futures in the face of climate change

How can we address growing climate challenges while securing a sustainable food future? Thoughtful management approaches for fish, shellfish, seaweed, and other aquatic species — also known as blue foods — can be part of the solution. Research shows that under sustainable harvest practices, blue foods can support countries’ climate adaptation and mitigation efforts to lower emissions while providing vital sources of protein and nutrients to billions of people globally. In this video, meet changemakers in Mexico, Indonesia, and the Pacific Island region who are securing climate-resilient, sustainable blue foods. As members of a fishing cooperative, a government ministry, and an international development organization, they share efforts underway in their local communities, countries, and regions to leverage blue foods for climate action.
