Marine turtles often swim across borders and through international waters, while facing multiple threats such as bycatch, poaching and climate change. By protecting blue corridors, we can help safeguard these species and ocean health. #WorldSeaTurtleDay wwf.panda.org/wwf_news/pre...

From new MPAs to progress on the #HighSeasTreaty, #UNOC3 delivered vital momentum for ocean conservation. But unless we tackle the #climatecrisis, marine ecosystems will continue to unravel. The ocean is sending distress signals—we must act before they are irreversible. wwf.panda.org/discover/oce...

Countries have committed to put a stop to shark and ray extinction at #UNOC3, with a new coalition launched to better collaborate on ending overfishing and habitat loss threatening marine life. #SaveOurSeas @iucnshark.bsky.social @sscmarine.bsky.social wwf.panda.org/wwf_news/pre...
