#EVENT Step into an exhibition where art intersects with science, and discover the brilliant seabirds of Aotearoa and the importance of their preservation. Aotearoa is the seabird capital of the world, home to about 90 species of the world’s seabirds. Just as canaries once warned coal miners of carbon monoxide, seabirds signal the declining health of our ecosystem. With the birds increasingly threatened by habitat loss and predators, Sentinel serves as an urgent call to action. https://lnkd.in/gG4AKrE9

Scientists estimate that we only know 10 to 25% of the 1-2 million species who live in the ocean. Ocean Census, a newly-endorsed #OceanDecade Programme led by Nekton and The Nippon Foundation, is on a mission to change this. This global alliance aims to accelerate the discovery and protection of ocean life, starting with uncovering 100,000 new ocean species by 2030.

Nature Portfolio The summer of 2023 was the warmest in the Northern Hemisphere extra-tropical regions in the past 2,000 years, according to a study published in Nature https://lnkd.in/gf_X4fyP

A post to catch our new citizen scientists up to speed, here is what "Map the Giants" is all about: 1️⃣ 𝗗𝗶𝘀𝗰𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿: It's hard to believe that such giants lay so well hidden, so we aim to find and map them as they are crucial part of marine ecosystems! 2️⃣ 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗵: The giant may hold the secrets of resilience that could be crucial for protecting the reefs worldwide. 3️⃣ 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗰𝘁: As canyons, waterfalls and giant trees, giant coral colonies are monuments of nature of incredible importance and should be treated as such. Only a small percentage of the sea is protected, and the concept of protected monument of nature still needs much work in the marine environment! 🌎By liaising with official bodies, ministries, and governments we want to help change that and give these marvellous giants the title they deserve! 📝 Thank you for supporting us every day and helping us move forward with these goals, directly impacting the knowledge & conservation of our oceans! 🌊🪸💙 #MapTheGiants #CitizenScience #CoralReef #Corals #SaveCoralReefs #CoralConservation #MarineBiodiversity #ReefResilience #Biodiversity #ReefConservation

🌊🐠 Discover the Magnificent Great Barrier Reef 🐠🌊 The Great Barrier Reef, a jewel in the crown of the natural world, stretches over 2,300 kilometers off the coast of Queensland, Australia. As the world's largest coral reef system, it's a mosaic of 2,900 individual reefs and 900 islands, teeming with marine life. This UNESCO World Heritage Site is not only a vital marine biodiversity hotspot but also a significant scientific and ecological treasure, offering insights into coral reef ecosystems, climate change impacts, and conservation challenges. The reef's vibrant coral gardens are home to an astonishing variety of sea life, including countless species of fish, mollusks, birds, and the endangered dugong and large green turtle. Its sheer scale and diversity make it a premier destination for divers and marine enthusiasts from around the globe, emphasizing the importance of preserving such natural wonders for future generations. In light of its significance, it's crucial we understand and appreciate the delicate balance of our planet's ecosystems. To further explore this and other natural marvels, I invite you to take part in our "Wonders of the Natural World Flash Quiz: Explore Earth's Marvels! 🌍🌿" available on YouTube. Test your knowledge, learn something new, and join the conversation on preserving our world's beauty. 👉 Check out the quiz here: https://lnkd.in/dRJGd9bp Let's celebrate and protect our planet's wonders together. #GreatBarrierReef #NaturalWonders #Conservation #EducationalQuiz #thequizmasters.

🔊The ocean is full of sound. For sea turtles, relying on visual cues is not enough for survival. 🐢They listen to and process acoustic cues to help them find food, avoid danger and communicate with each other across hundreds and even thousands of miles. Understanding how sea turtles hear and respond to sound is the first step in understanding the impacts of ocean noise on these protected species. 👂Since 1998, we have invested $100 million in acoustics-related research to protect all marine species.

'We still do not know one thousandth of one percent of what nature has revealed to us.' Albert Einstein It is always our attempt to learn more about nature, as a nature enthusiast I try not to miss any chance regarding this. Interesting online conference, many talks and studies were shared about long term bird monitoring and the role of some citizen science efforts. Inspiring work by researchers and birding enthusiasts. An informative symposium, touching topics related to water birds to raptors, scientific research on bird monitoring to traditional conservation practices which are now using technology to accentuate local communities participation. The effect of climate change and other anthropogenic pressures were shared in these sessions.
