Growing challenge in climate communication: Are we getting too used to climate change?

New research from @cmu.edu, UCLA, and @princetonupress.bsky.social shows that how we present climate data shapes whether people feel concern or tune out.

What drives or blocks people from acting for the ocean?

The new global Ocean & Society Survey, proudly co-led by @commsinc.bsky.social, explores public perceptions to inform better ocean policy & comms.

The antidote to the Jaws effect: These photos show a softer side of great white sharks Fifty years since the release of Jaws, these photographers are showing a different, less frightening view of great white sharks.

🦈 During #SharkWeek, we celebrated the communicators behind the lens using photography to help audiences see sharks, and the ocean, differently.

When we replace fear with beauty and facts, we create space for action.

The deep sea supports global fisheries, climate regulation, and has a significant and irreplaceable cultural value worldwide.

We join @deepseaconserve.bsky.social call for a global moratorium on deep-sea mining at #ISA30.

Urge your government to stand up today: defendthedeep.org

#OceanLiteracy efforts should include process literacy (knowledge of how marine decisions are made) to ensure people can engage meaningfully in ocean governance.

Without this, marine planning risks being exclusionary, inequitable, and undemocratic. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

🚮 Turning the tide on #SingleUsePlastic starts with action.

We’re passionate about creating lasting change. That’s why we worked on the #OneLess campaign to help London 🇬🇧 reduce plastic waste.

Deepening our understanding of life below the waves: introducing ocean literacy - Scotlink By Rebecca Crawford, Marine Policy Officer at the Scottish Wildlife Trust Introduction As a maritime nation with over 900 islands and one of the longest coastlines in Europe, the marine cultural herit...

"Despite how it might sound, ocean literacy isn’t about reading and writing about the ocean."

Our latest blog from @scotwildlife.bsky.social goes into detail on the importance of ocean literacy and what more Scotland should be doing to encourage it:

Climate misinformation turning crisis into catastrophe – major report False claims obstructing climate action, say researchers, amid calls for climate lies to be criminalised

Climate misinformation is stalling #ClimateAction shifting from denial to discrediting solutions. The Special Rapporteur for human rights & climate change is calling for it to be criminalised.

Creating connections: ocean literacy for ocean sustainability

#OceanLiteracy is key to marine conservation and community engagement especially in coastal nations like Australia.

Researchers at Centre for Marine Socioecology and IMAS at @utas.edu.au outline a roadmap to strengthen ocean literacy for a more sustainable future. www.utas.edu.au/about/news-a...

📉 A worrying trend: Climate posts linking to unreliable sources are getting more engagement than those from reputable outlets across most platforms.

Are you seeing this too?

🤖 Could AI help close the equity gap in marine policymaking?

A new study, funded by the Nippon Foundation Ocean Nexus, explores how LLMs could support or undermine inclusion in ocean negotiations.

Seven things we learned at the UN Ocean Conference (and one we didn’t) Presidents and Indigenous leaders, fishers and financiers were all on the Mediterranean coast for the UN’s big ocean meeting. These items were the talk of the town

What were the main outcomes of #UNOC3?

From progress on the #HighSeasTreaty to new marine protected areas, advancing the #30x30 goal, not all was bright and shiny. More work and commitments are needed to ensure the protection of our ocean.
