ALT The Arctic Ocean is under increasing pressure from climate change, with sea ice loss, ocean acidification, warming and freshening occurring more rapidly in the Arctic compared to the rest of the global ocean. This event considers what is needed to protect this vulnerable ecosystem. We bring together a range of voices to discuss what roles different players have and how best to move science forward in order to allow Indigenous and local communities to adapt to changing conditions. Whilst also raising critical considerations for mitigation and future sustainable use of the Arctic Ocean. Institutions: Plymouth Marine Laboratory, Moore Foundation Arctic Programme, Inuit Circumpolar Council, AMAP, 90 North Foundation and GEOMAR.
Brilliant article by @Hallibee1 exploring @PenHadow's Arctic adventures. #protect90north #Arctic @guardian #conservation #Ocean #polarbear ❄️

In an interview with @VictorVescovo -the only individual to have dived to the deepest points of all five oceans– he explains how, at a time of intense geopolitical posturing, the #ArcticOcean is its own best protection:

A $51.7M pledge at #COP16 by top philanthropies, including @SchmidtOcean, and @BloombergDotOrg, will accelerate the creation of high seas MPAs under the High Seas Treaty. This is a major step toward the 30x30 global ocean protection goal! 🌊

What do polar bears do in fall?
With 20 populations of polar bears across the Arctic, there are 20 different stories as the bears adjust to different ice conditions in different sea ice ecoregions. Learn about these differences: pbears.org/3NlwVNr

A year ago, I was at the United Nations when the #HighSeasTreaty opened for signature – a moment I’ll never forget.
Today, 104 nations have signed the treaty and 13 have ratified it. But, to become international law, 60 nations must ratify it.
This will be the start of something incredible, a new era for marine conservation 🌊🌍✍️

🌟SPECIES SPOTLIGHT🌟
We're on to the final instalment of our species spotlight series, showcasing animals which live in both Arctic and UK seas.
The final feature is the Little Auk (aka the dovekie in North America)!
