🌊 Happy #WorldOceansDay! 🌊
The ocean supports 80% of Earth’s biodiversity but is the least observed place on Earth. Transparency is key to protecting it.
Global Fishing Watch uses data and tech to reveal human activity at sea and promote sustainable fishing.
Tomorrow, we join leaders at #UNOC2025 to protect our ocean.

On #WorldIUUDay, our ocean idiom is "Ships Passing in the Night" - a fleeting encounter. In the world of #illegal #fishing, however, it takes on a much more troubling meaning. oceans.ubc.ca/ocean-idioms/ @DrRashidSumaila @FisheryEconomic @ubcSPPGA @GlobalFishWatch #WorldOceansDay

🌊 @GlobalFishWatch is heading to Nice for #UNOC3 to push for SDG 14 and the 30×30 goal—protecting 30% of the ocean by 2030. Catch us at side events driving transparency, data, and sustainable ocean action.

“The ocean is magical, and essential.”
As @BloombergDotOrg @anthawilliams reminds us, the ocean covers 70% of our planet and provides every second breath we take. Yet too often, it’s out of sight, out of mind.
With the UN Ocean Conference beginning Monday, we’re joining forces to spotlight how protecting the ocean is protecting life on Earth, and why transparency, innovation, and bold action must guide the way forward.
