The latest analysis from @colorado.edu 's MeCCO shows a 14% decline in global media coverage of climate change & global warming in 2024-25.

Telling the 'climate story' has never been more important, but reaching audiences with relatable stories which make climate relevant to everyday life is key.

For those attending #OSM26 and working at the intersection of ocean science and policy, this is a timely reminder.

Risk communication is not just about presenting data. It is about meeting people where they are, grounding messages in values, and making participation possible.

A crazy amount of heat has accumulated in the Equatorial Pacific Ocean over the past two months.

Hold on to your hats when this reaches the surface with the next El Niño.

Why we should protect the high seas from all extraction, forever Exploitation of the high seas risks doing irreversible damage to biodiversity, climate stability and ocean equity. A consensus must be built now to save them.

Marine scientists made the case back in June of why this week's High Seas Treaty is vital

COP30 TEXT ANALYSIS: One way to read dense COP text is to focus on the verbs. These are helpfully italicised – and for good reason.
