I’m at the #OceanBiodiversitySummit Smithsonian NMNH this afternoon listening to a conversation between Jane Lubchenco & Andrew Steer about how our narrative on the ocean has gone from…
being too big to destroy…
to being too big & complex to fix….
to finally, being too big to ignore
Today’s the day: the #OceanBiodiversitySummit is here! Ocean life knows no political boundaries and touches everyone. Safeguarding our coasts, ocean, and people requires cooperation among all of us. Livestream link goes live at 1:00 pm Eastern: science.si.edu/in-the-ocean/s… 🌊💙
“It’s on us to build this movement and to build this wave. The ocean is too big to fail,” said WCS's Monica Medina at #OceanBiodiversitySummit .
“This includes getting to 30% protection of our oceans in the US, including naming #HudsonCanyon as a National Marine Sanctuary.”

Thank you to #OceanBiodiversitySummit sponsor National Marine Sanctuary Foundation who believes sanctuaries can be a solution to protect biodiversity but we can't protect what we don't know and we can't do it alone. Partnerships are key to a more representative, connected national network of MPAs.
