Along the coast of Pakistan, Mohammad Selim Dablo is witnessing how rising seas due to climate change affect local fish stocks and undermine livelihoods. Sustainable aquaculture and planting mangroves are just two examples of climate adaptation #UNOC 1/2

Look but please don't touch ✋ Be a responsible diver: Don't touch, feed or take any wildlife under water. If possible, try to remove trash and other harmful objects from the ocean. The ocean and its inhabitants will thank you 🐡 🐠 🐟
