On the heels of record manatee deaths, a judge ordered Florida to stop allowing water pollution. The state is fighting the order. Yes, the department of environmental protection is fighting an order for them to actually protect the environment. orlandosentinel.com/2025/06/03/flo…

Coastal ecosystems including seagrasses cover only 2% of the ocean floor, but account for 50% of the carbon storage. But human activity are destroying seagrass Agricultural runoff can choke out seagrass, while giving rise to algae that block out sunlight. conservation.org/blog/an-overlo…

FAU blames Indian River Lagoon parasite derth on pollution, algal blooms, seagrass loss
Fewer parasites in fish and crustaceans means the lagoon is more fragile and less biodiverse than before.
Circled is the entire U.S. delegation to this global oceans summit, founded by the United States, usually attended by a dozen or more senior U.S. officials. USA AWOL.
The oceans face a massive and growing threat: plastics. An estimated 33 BILLION pounds of plastic pollution enter the oceans every year. That’s why Oceana is campaigning to reduce the production of single-use plastics at the source. Learn more at oceana.ly/3D1bHmc

Dolphins starve when seagrass dies off in Florida, study finds
Researchers studying dolphins in the Indian River Lagoon found that when seagrass dies off, dolphins have to shift their diets, and as a result, die of starvation more often than when seagrass is h…
Dolphins died because ladyfish vanished. Ladyfish vanished because seagrass died. Seagrass died from fertilizer & septic waste. A chain reaction—seen not just in Florida, but in coastal waters around the world. In 2013, dozens of dolphin mysteriously died apple.news/AObSodv5lRoOng…
With the 1.5C climate target behind us, we must urgently explore nature-based climate repair. I've written today in @guardian theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
Did you know? When green turtles munch on seagrass, they make it grow better and more nutritious. Their grazing helps the seagrass thrive, which traps sediments and protects our coastlines from erosion, storms, and rising sea levels.
If you’ve lived in Florida for awhile, you’ve likely noticed the degradation of our waterways: More algal blooms. Dying manatees. Rampant pollution. Today my colleagues published a sweeping investigation showing 1 in 4 waterways are dangerously polluted project.tampabay.com/investigations…
99% of plastics are made from fossil fuels. 🏭 The plastics and petrochemical industries plan to triple plastics production by 2060. 🚫 There’s nothing eco-friendly about that! 🛑 Don’t be fooled by the fossil fuel industry. #AprilFoolsDay #PlasticPollutes
The plastic pollution crisis in our ocean is set to get worse. A new @oceana report reveals the shocking statistics behind the world’s most prolific plastic polluter @CocaCola It estimate Coke will drive 600 million kilos of plastic pollution to our seas annually by 2030‼️🌍⚠️
