- 🐋 Over the last days, a #beluga whale has been seen off the coast of the #Netherlands, raising concerns about its survival & attracting some unwanted attention. Boats & drones are causing visible stress to the animal. These disturbances drain precious energy the whale needs to find its way home. 1/2

- 👉 Unilateral deep-sea mining attempts undermine international law & global ocean governance. Deep-sea mining will cause irreversible damage to deep-sea ecosystems. A global moratorium is urgently needed. ⚠️ With the BBNJ in force, it is important to take its embedded protection commitments seriously.
- Spain's whale protection inaction has reached Parliament. 🐋 Following OceanCare's #ACCOBAMS complaint, the #SUMAR parliamentary group – Spain's coalition partner – is now demanding answers. 1/4

- 1/5 Major progress for whale protection! 🐋 #Spain must reclassify Mediterranean sperm and fin whales as endangered. Here’s why this matters — and what needs to happen next. @miteco.gob.es @ecologistasenaccion.org @oceanaeurope.bsky.social @greenpeace.es
- 2025: Amplifying the ocean’s voice. From Geneva to Bern, we turned advocacy into action: rerouting ships to protect sperm whales, pushing for quieter seas and new science on Faroe pilot whale hunts. Watch our proudest achivements in our recap video 🎥 #OceanCare www.linkedin.com/feed/update/...
- 2025 was a milestone year for the ocean: we arrived in Nice with 114,000+ signatures and carried the petition “Because Our Planet is Blue” to the highest political levels. Catch our proudest achivements of 2025 in our recap video 🎥 #OceanCare #OceanAdvocacy www.linkedin.com/feed/update/...
- Great news for sperm whales! 🐋 The Greek shipping company #NeptuneLines commits to rerouting in the Hellenic Trench to protect the <200 remaining endangered sperm whales in the Eastern Mediterreanean. This will significantly reduce deadly ship strikes with whales. 🌊 #NeptuneGroupofCompanies 1/2
- ❗Calling for Strong Leadership on the Global Plastics Treaty Recently, OceanCare, a core member of the @breakfreefromplastic.org Coalition, joined 166 organisations worldwide in calling for strong, transparent leadership as the #INC prepares to elect a new Chair for the continuing negotiations. 1/2
- #UNEA-7: OceanCare’s Geschäftsführerin @fabiennemcl.bsky.social sprach mit dem #Deutschlandfunk über die besorgniserregende Erosion wissenschaftsbasierter Entscheidungsfindung und warum #Multilateralismus heute wichtiger ist denn je. 🎧 Interview anhören: www.deutschlandfunk.de/un-umweltvol...
- 🌍 #UNEA-7 in Nairobi has ended with 11 out the 15 Resolutions being adopted. Some on #oceanconservation were achieved, but only because of significant compromises & a weakening of the texts. Overall, we saw worrying signs for how the world tackles the triple planetary crises. 1/7 📷 @enb.iisd.org
- 2/7 🔬 #Science sidelined: Independent science was questioned and politicised – especially when it challenged “business as usual” of exploiting the planet for profits.
- 👉 New research shows: mercury levels in harbour porpoises have nearly doubled since the 1990s – despite international efforts to control this pollutant. 1 od 10 porpoises now has mercury at levels that cause serious health damage. ⚠️ Read more about the study: www.oceancare.org/en/stories_a...
- 🌊 At #UNEA7 in Nairobi, OceanCare urges decisive #OceanAction. On the table are crucial resolutions that could tangibly improve ocean conservation. But what we're witnessing is a reason for concern. This cannot become the new normal of #multilateralism. The precautionary principle must be adhered.
- Reposted by OceanCareOpening plenary #UNEA7 has begun. Let's remind countries that addressing #plasticpollution is crucial for planetary resilience. Follow the livestream via @unep.org here 👇 webtv.un.org/en/asset/k18... #BreakFreeFromPlastic
- At #COP24, OceanCare called for a Regional Climate Change Mitigation Plan for the Mediterranean. With the new Climate Change Regional Activity Centre (CC/RAC) now operational, countries must move from adaptation to mitigation — because climate protection is ocean protection. 🌊 #BarcelonaConvention
- #COP24: UN Ocean Envoy Amb. Peter Thomson reminded delegates that true ocean stewardship means acting for future generations — guided by regeneration, reciprocity & respect at the core of ocean governance. 🌊 He urged: #Ocean & climate action are inseparable. It’s time to stop fossil fuels. @unep.org
- The #Mediterranean talks about climate impacts. But concrete emission reduction plans? Missing. The #BC3 analysis shows: at current emission rates, the carbon budget of the region will be exhausted by 2035. At #COP24, we're pushing for a regional mitigation plan. Not just impact assessments.
