Beautiful Goliath groupers are threatened again by a potential limited harvest. Keep these charismatic fish safe from unsustainable fishing today by leaving a comment before October 1 and asking @MyFWC to keep the fishery closed: myfwc.com/contact/fwc-of…
“The Goliath grouper is one of my favorite fish. They are more valuable alive than dead. @MyFWC, please do not reopen the fishery!” @SylviaEarle #MissionGoliath

The Sargasso Sea Hope Spot is the only sea that does not have a coastline. Its name comes from “floating reefs” of brown Sargassum seaweed, which Dr. @SylviaEarle refers to as “the golden rainforest of the sea”! #HopeSpots

Retweeted by Mission Blue A few weeks ago we annoucened the completion of the #GlobalReefExpedition at the #IUCNcongress. It's great to see international news outlets sharing the news of the #CoralReefCrisis and what we're trying to do to save #CoralReefs and improve #OceanHealth. twitter.com/YaHalaShow/sta…

Retweeted by Mission Blue In an @OceanoAzulF film, @SylviaEarle invites us to speak out together for nature. The time to #RiseUP4TheOcean is now! youtu.be/Pj2Cefvwn98
The good news is that we are beginning to look at things differently. We are experiencing a new wave of understanding about why the ocean matters.

Honoured that one of the Ocean's great ambassadors, @SylviaEarle, was with us at #IUCNCongress.
Here, she paints the ocean as a living system, shaping planetary climate, holding the greatest diversity of life on earth, but neglected until right about now. @MissionBlue @NatGeo

Retweeted by Mission Blue Highlight of the week. Most of the planet is the high seas, it needs protecting!

Retweeted by Mission Blue We joined @SeaTurtles_org, @MissionBlue & 150+ orgs to call on @CarlosAlvQ and @LassoGuillermo to create the Cocos-Galapagos Swimway by publishing a full-page ad in @nytimes today. This would protect migratory marine species and expand marine protected areas.
Retweeted by Mission Blue There are 2 sunfish species, the ocean sunfish & the southern sunfish, that live in the Galápagos Islands Hope Spot. Both species can reach over 10ft tall! They reach this gargantuan size by feeding on small fish, squid, jellies, sponges, and crustaceans.

Our existence is anchored into systems that have taken not just thousands, or even millions, but hundreds of millions of years of fine-tuning to develop in a way that makes Earth a habitable place for us.
Retweeted by Mission Blue I applaud all of the individuals and organizations who worked relentlessly to pass Motion 003, the formation of the @IUCN Climate Crisis Commission. Now is the time, as never before, to make peace with the natural systems that are our life support system. #IUCNCongress
Retweeted by Mission Blue "Knowing is the key to caring, and with caring there is hope that people will be motivated to take positive actions. They might not care even if they know, but they can't care if they are unaware." @SylviaEarle

A deep sea discovery will provide insights into the impacts of climate change, and shows how much we still have to learn about the ocean.
