Amazing new from Belgium! Pending confirmed approv

Amazing new from Belgium! Pending confirmed approval by the federal Belgian parliament, #ecoside will be included as a new crime in the state’s revised penal code! This would be a European first! And would see those found guilty of committing serious and permanent damage to the environment facing a custodial sentence and could risk 10 to 20 years in prison. This is the way forward! Hopefully Belgium’s move will catalyze a domino effect and soon, enough all countries will do the same!

In China’s auto market, electric isn’t the fut

In China’s auto market, electric isn’t the future. It’s the present! This year, one-quarter of all new cars bought in China will be all-electric or plug-in hybrid vehicles. The country’s seriousness about developing electric vehicles was on display when in 2018 Beijing allowed Tesla to build a massive factory in Shanghai and become the first foreign automaker that could manufacture in China without a local partner. The move was seen as a way to force the domestic market to compete directly with an industry leader and the Shanghai government helped foot some of the factory-building costs! This is great news for the world!

Each month we're asking a group of oceanlovers to

Each month we're asking a group of oceanlovers to share their love-statements about the ocean. This month October 2022 we start with FREEDIVERS! Why? Firstly because there are two freedivers in our core team and also because freedivers are one of the people who are literally the most immersed in the ocean! In the following months we'll bring you statements from the world of scuba divers, sailers, surfers and so on!
Last posts featured the love statement by @explorewithsona and another by @zahraa.elhusseiny together with her picture by @liviofakeye Today’s picture of @golden.fishie was shot by the talented @taimouro !

Sometimes we lose hope, but every now and then something happens that strengthens our faith in the power of humanity for change! Animal rights activists yesterday cheered a move by a shipping giant to alter course to avoid collisions with blue whales, the world’s largest mammals, in Sri Lankan waters! This is such heartwarming news! Shoutout for MSC!

In the Netherlands a group of volunteers collected

In the Netherlands a group of volunteers collected 86.754 cigarette butts from the beach during the last days. Did you know 💡that one butt is toxic enough to pollute 1000 liter of water! Fish think it’s food and eat it so it’s really dangerous! Keep our beaches clean!! Shout out to everyone cleaning up around the world!! ❤️🌎✨

World's largest freshwater fish found in Mekong! A

World's largest freshwater fish found in Mekong! A 300kg (661lb) stingray caught in the Mekong river in Cambodia is the biggest freshwater fish ever documented, scientists say. The Mekong is rich in biodiversity but overfishing, dams and pollution threaten its fragile ecosystem. Let’s keep our rivers and oceans clean and we will keep discovering beautiful surprises!

Let’s all applaud all Airlines that have declare

Let’s all applaud all Airlines that have declared they don’t carry sharks fins! What is shark finning? Shark finning refers to the act of slicing the fins off a shark, often while it is still alive then dumping its body at sea because it has no value. These sharks then sink to the ocean floor, suffocate and bleed to death. A twitter campaign began to encourage more airlines to join the movement! The message states: “Airlines and sharks can’t flywithoutfins.org. Sharks are vital for oceans but killed for shark fin soup. Many airlines still fly fins but got $123bn COVID-19 bailouts; sharks got none. Please STOP carrying shark fins.”

Efforts to raise public awareness about plastic po

Efforts to raise public awareness about plastic pollution have quickly led to improvements in the environment 🌏 🙌 🌊

“Almost 30% in six years is really heartening and can help people understand the impacts of our behaviours.” says Denise Hardesty, CSIRO researcher and one of the paper’s co-authors.

Some individual locations showed larger improvements, the greatest being a 73% decline in the amount of litter recorded.

“It’s an amazing testimony of how much can change and how quickly you can see that change in the environment,” Hardesty said.

Today we’re starting a multi-year series of Ocea

Today we’re starting a multi-year series of OceanLove Stories: short, simple videos in which we put the spotlights on maritime change-makers, front-runners, activists, innovators. It will bring hope, new ideas and encouragement for anyone who wants to stand up for the oceans! You can follow the series on our socials, our website and YouTube channel. OceanLove Story #1 is with Venancio Tillett, who tells us about the way the fishing and diving community of Belize succeeded in preventing oil drilling near pristine coral reef and inspired a national law against any future oil drilling in its oceans!
