Great to see more analysis of #OurOcean commitments by @worldresources.bsky.social @cordioea.bsky.social @wiomsa.bsky.social @davidobura.bsky.social et. al. #MPAs commitments have plenty of potential to be increased further. @blueactionfund.org
Seems 🐦⬛🐦🦉 watchers were much more successful than recreational anglers🎣in advocating for design of future 💶 banknotes. Your work @arielbrunner.bsky.social? No 🐟🦈🦀, but U might want to support biodiv motives 👉 lnkd.in/eF4SrCmT @birdlifeglobal.bsky.social @nabu.de @kostyabiodiv.bsky.social
Rather positive Final Technical Review of our €4.3m project with @nature.org in Peru 🇵🇪 ogy.de/ns02.
Very happy that idea of a 'Funder-panel' was picked up. Looking forward to sharing insights & reducing communication barriers at #IMCC8 together with @emmajmcintosh.bsky.social, @bloombergdotorg.bsky.social @packardfdn.bsky.social BechtFamilyFoundation....
Either NGOs really 💙 @blueactionfund.org, mangroves & #BlueCarbon, or it just shows lack of #OceanGrants currently available for #OceanOptimism: We have >200 registered participants for our Q&A for our call 👇. Good luck with that @oceansteinmann.bsky.social & team 😎
@fao.org State of fisheries report is out. ogy.de/q34m Surely, graph below can be interpreted in different ways. I continue to struggle with: 🐟 sustainably fished being defined as MSY 0.8 - 1.2 Bmsy... (MSY is a LIMIT, and not a target) 🐟 entire concept of fish stocks being "underfished".
For our 40th (!) #BerlinOceanDinner, we organised an exclusive tour of 'Ocean Berlin' — a new 7M-liter aquarium opening in 2027, with sharks, a coral breeding station & 360° cinema. Thanks for opening the doors early for open exchange with Berlin's ocean community. 🌊
Would love to have a @blueactionfund.org call specifically addressing 🎣small scale fisheries and 🌊 #30x30. New @fao.org report here: openknowledge.fao.org/items/1a2c49... @manufao.bsky.social
Nice infographic about our new call for proposals, even if someone must have played with our Logo 🤔 . Most important to spread the word.
Only 5.5% of #OurOceanKenya commitments geared towards marine protected areas and #30x30. More than 50% to fisheries and blue economy. 🤔 #MPAs Full draft report ogy.de/r52p
🌊 Preliminary report on commitments from #OurOceanKenya onine ogy.de/r52p ➡️ level of transparency is fantastic 🥳🎉. 🌊 Potentially still some double dipping, e.g. Funders announcing 💶💵, while NGOs commit to "mobilise funding", which surely includes the former. Hopefully this can still be addressed.
Colleagues from @hacfornandp.bsky.social launched call for #OceanGrants 💶🌊 ➡️ ogy.de/n8g8 #30x30 #OceanOptimism
Bit of a truism, but still worth reminding. #OurOceanKenya #OOC11
Bye #OurOceanKenya and thanks for having me. Tired but energised. #OceanOptimism

All I see is... 7 days till launch of our next call for proposals @oceansteinmann.bsky.social @oceanweigand.bsky.social
Exciting news are coming in that Bangladesh 🇧🇩 declared Kuakata and Salimpur MPAs, brings its MPA coverage to 10.5% of its EEZ. 💶 4.8 million @blueactionfund.org project with @wcs.org & @worldfish.bsky.social to support the process. #OceanOptimism #30x30 @protectedplanet.bsky.social
Talking 👇 in two weeks time about @blueactionfund.org & interdependency of marine conservation & sustainable livelihoods. Floorplan makes me a bit nervous... #30x30 #OOC11
In exchange, I repost 📷 of one of your favourite moments: You, @albaerbock.bsky.social & @oceanunger.bsky.social full of energy & #OceanOptimism after signing highseas agreement on behalf of 🇩🇪. #BBNJ #30x30
Thanks @steffi-lemke.de for bringing #OceanOptimism to yesterday's 40th anniversary celebration of @umweltministerium.de 🎉🥳🪸

One of our best stunts: getting thousands of #EndOverfishing postcards into the 🇪🇺 Parliament (and even more online).
Sometimes, I miss working as campaigner: #FishLove - slightly controversial, but getting the much needed media attention to #EndOverfishing in the 🇪🇺.
