WWF Ocean

Marine turtles often swim across borders and through international waters, while facing multiple threats such as bycatch, poaching and climate change. By protecting blue corridors, we can help safeguard these species and ocean health.

From new MPAs to progress on the #HighSeasTreaty, #UNOC3 delivered vital momentum for ocean conservation. But unless we tackle the #climatecrisis, marine ecosystems will continue to unravel. The ocean is sending distress signals—we must act before they are irreversible.

Countries have committed to put a stop to shark and ray extinction at #UNOC3, with a new coalition launched to better collaborate on ending overfishing and habitat loss threatening marine life. #SaveOurSeas @iucnshark.bsky.social @sscmarine.bsky.social wwf.panda.org/wwf_news/pre...

East Africa’s work to reverse ocean degradation is recognized as a UN World Restoration Flagship Ecosystem restoration generates tangible benefits for food and water security, climate change mitigation and adaptation, and can prevent conflict and migration triggered by environmental degradation.

"If we protect the ocean, it can help us in the fight against climate change. Seagrass beds, whales, healthy fisheries, the deep-sea, all help capture carbon," says WWF's Jessica Battle. "Action needs to start now, and we need money behind these pledges." #UNOC news.cgtn.com/news/2025-06...

Big news for the #HighSeas from #UNOC3. "Once the treaty enters into force, it will enable the establishment of networks of MPAs, and ensure that no new activity with significant impact on marine life can go ahead without an impact assessment."

Ocean Finance for the Sustainable Ocean Economy - Ocean Panel Launched 6 June 2025, the working paper 'Ocean Finance for the Sustainable Ocean Economy' presents a critical assessment of the state of global ocean

New paper highlights the promise of innovative and blended finance mechanisms, including blue bonds, guarantees, and debt-for-nature swaps. Evidence suggests that every $1 invested in #ocean solutions could yield at least $5 in global benefits by 2050. #BEFF

⚠️ Seagrass is sinking under pressure. Literally.
New WWF data shows recreational boats are wrecking the Mediterranean meadows.
💔 Down goes biodiversity, up goes emissions.

But our life-giving ocean is in crisis. We’ve got to #SaveOurOcean now & restore ocean health – before it’s too late. Are you with us?

Did you know that our amazing ocean supplies more than half the oxygen on Earth, and provides food and livelihoods for billions of people worldwide? #WorldOceanDay #TeamOcean

As world leaders gather for the Blue Economy and Finance Forum #BEFF and #UNOC3, The Ocean Agenda unpacks the findings of the newly launched Ocean Protection Gap Report and the message is clear: we must bridge a considerable gap to achieve 30% of the ocean by 2030. for-the-ocean.org/ocean-protec...

🐟 Down to the final 10!

The @wto.org deal to curb harmful fisheries subsidies is closer than ever. Nicaragua just ratified—who’s next?

Let’s get this done before #UNOC3!

The ocean brings rich rewards when coastal communities lead The ocean’s bounty can bring rewards for all of us for generations to come, but only if it is managed sustainably and in partnership with local communities.

Investing in #ocean protection and resilience is essential to secure sustainable economies, help mitigate and adapt to #climatechange and boost #biodiversity. This won’t happen on its own. We need to change our game plan if we’re going to meet our 2030 goals. #UNOC3

We have the agreements and solutions we need for a living #ocean, now we need the execution. With only 5 years to go, it’s essential that #UNOC3 charts a course to deliver the 2030 commitments that countries & businesses signed up to. - Kirsten Schuijt, @wwf.panda.org

Working together, #TeamOcean can secure effective and collaborative ocean governance to support ocean health, peace and stability.
#UNOC3
wwf.panda.org/discover/oce...

The best defense against the worst effects of #climatechange is an aggressive offense – a rapid phase out of fossil fuels. But we need a defensive gameplan as well – strategies to mitigate harm and adapt to changes already being felt in the ocean and by communities.
wwf.panda.org/discover/oce...

Money is a game changer. We must reform policies and mobilize finance to support an equitable and #SustainableBlueEconomy, including curbing harmful subsidies and redirecting of trillions of dollars of mainstream finance.
wwf.panda.org/discover/oce...

Let's play fair. For decades, the rules governing fisheries have favored the bigger and faster, putting the smaller and slower at a disadvantage. We must accelerate science-based fisheries management, bycatch mitigation, data collection, transparency and traceability.
wwf.panda.org/discover/oce...

In the fight for a living #ocean, no one’s handing out participation trophies – we have to play to win. That means rapidly expanding and effectively managing ecologically representative networks of MPAs to rebuild species populations and restore ecosystem health. wwf.panda.org/discover/oce...
