From the mangroves of Micronesia 🇫🇲 giving a shout out to protect our oceans. #OurOceanPalau conference just finished leading to more commitments to protect the ocean 🌊 UNDP Pacific Office in Fiji is committed to supporting #ClimateAction #BlueEconomy & the planet 🌏 #NoPlanetB

Our deep sea is less explored than the moon – yet this amazing underwater world is under threat by deep seabed mining 😨

But we can stop this threat before it starts.
