Africa: NIA Tero - Indigenous Guardianship the 'Only Time-Tested Approach' to Healthy Ocean Ecosystems: [IPS] Nice, France -- The 2025 UN Ocean Conference (UNOC3) has seen a significant presence from Indigenous peoples, who insist that their perspective and guidance be taken into account in the global efforts for sustainable ocean use and conservation.

EurekAlert: From tiny worms to giant squid: new global database reveals the hidden power of body size in the ocean. “Released this month alongside a peer-reviewed publication, [the Marine Organismal Body Size (MOBS) Database] 1.0 catalogs size data for over 85,000 marine animal species, from microscopic zooplankton to massive whales, offering a vital tool for understanding biodiversity and […]

Why in the News? Today, we plunge into the mysterious world of Submarine Canyons—deep underwater valleys that shape the ocean floor and hold clues to Earth’s geologic and climatic past.

These steep-sided canyons, often linked to river mouths like the Ganges and Indus, act as natural pipelines moving sediments from the continental shelf to the deep sea.

This is a battle we cannot afford to lose. If we allow this to happen, we may never be able to undo the damage. The #ocean has been taken for granted for too long, but we can still act, now.

Thanks to a legal #loophole in #USLaw, deep-sea mining in international waters has just become one step closer to reality, and the consequences for #MarineEcosystems could be catastrophic.

Sitting & waiting to sign some documents & then can get out of this place, full of unmasked plague spreaders - at least for a few hours until I can bring my client her new air filtration unit.

As I'm waiting, am reading up more on how to make reef balls out of broken seashells. Getting ahead on some research that will help me to help better with several projects along our coasts to restore Indigenous shellfish gardens & utilize the nature engineering powers of bivalves to restore some ocean ecosystems that were destroyed by acts of greed fueled colonialism.

The Sand Crisis No One is Talking About…

Sand, a resource essential to modern life, is being extracted at unsustainable rates, wreaking havoc on marine ecosystems. Unlike other industries, its impact is largely ignored, despite causing habitat destruction, biodiversity loss, and worsening climate vulnerabilities... #sandextraction #habitats #marineecosystems #biodiversityloss #climatecrisis #climatechange #mining

Les défis environnementaux de la mer Baltique, tels que l’eutrophisation, la contamination et la surexploitation, menacent gravement la biodiversité et l’économie de la région. Pour préserver cet écosystème unique, l'UE intensifie ses efforts pour une gestion durable des pêches.

Whenever I see pieces by Nnimmo Bassey go by, I know there's going to be something of importance within.

Take note of the fact that the referenced page has two tabs, a "Full Article" and a "Quick Read". If you're in a hurry, go for the latter. But the Full Article is full of useful detail.

There's lots of good information in the full article that is not commonly discussed, so I recommend that. But I'll just grab a few excerpts here that illustrate the breadth of discussion:

«The corporate extractive sector, in particular, has been looking for new territories to extract minerals such as manganese, cobalt, copper, nickel, and rare earth elements. This has become increasingly problematic due to the risks involved in resource extraction. Though the ocean may seem like an unlimited expanse that profiteers exploit purely for financial gain, it has natural limits.

“[A]lthough scientists and campaigners have been warning of the consequences of our rampant exploitation for decades, time is now running out to protect our oceans,” Hugo Tagholm, executive director of Oceana in the UK, and Callum Roberts, a professor of marine conservation at the Center for Ecology and Conservation at the University of Exeter, wrote in EuroNews in November 2023. “We like to think of our ocean as infinite, but the truth is, it cannot stand this industrial-scale exploitation.”»

and later

«When governments and corporations decide what should be done, they often ignore the people closest to the water and the fact that they know more about what is necessary to protect it. It gets more troubling when the uninhabited deep sea is discussed. For example, in Nigeria, Shell Oil is selling off its onshore oil fields and moving operations to the deep sea, where there is limited oversight on the damage being done. Even if the harm being done in the deep sea stays out of sight, its results still affect everyone onshore. This is a major reason for the concern anywhere in the world that is near the water.»

Seabed minerals are crucial in producing oxygen, raising concerns over deep-sea mining. As negotiations on deep-sea mining intensify, this discovery highlights the potential risks to marine ecosystems and the global oxygen cycle. The findings may influence future regulations and conservation efforts, casting a shadow over the industry’s future.

"While protections for marine life have increased in recent years, there is a huge chunk of US #MarineEcosystems that remain unprotected or misunderstood. The strategy hopes to close those gaps by working alongside local and Indigenous stakeholders."
