Biodiversity is the bedrock of resilience, and kelp forests show why.
Just in time for World Oceans Day on June 8, TIME's new Oceans Issue highlights the forests and jungles and life! that live below the surface of the sea.
Thank you, TIME, for reminding us our stories above the oceans are inextricably tied to those below it.

Sam's Bentley's Good News for May!
Sam Bentley's Good News is always a welcome breath of fresh air.
Happy Earth Day everyone!
I originally started this post with a recent podcast highlighting life under the ocean. My thinking was that Earth is the blue planet and over 70% of us is covered in water and that water provides over half our oxygen and we need to understand and protect the microorganisms deep below the surface that create that oxygen, and and and etc.
But I can't help looking at the images from the Artemis II mission and just gazing at them over and over. I don't know that I would make it as an astronaut because my earthgazing would have superceded all my work tasks every day. I love a good dashboard cleanse, especially mid-week or even mid-day. Look at all that blue. Look at it. Look at us.
One week ago, Ghana officially declared its first ever Marine Protected Area (MPA).
Covering over 700 square kilometers and 21 communities in the Greater Cape Three Points Area of Ghana's Western Region. This incredible achievement reflects years of collaboration and shared purpose between partners.

San Francisco Climate Week in the US is coming up this weekend and the lovely folks at Sustainable Ocean Alliance have created a free guide to the upcoming panels, demos, and events during the week that focus on the ocean.
Their guide covers every blue programming session worth your time and includes a list of ecopreneurs they'll be more than happy to introduce you to. And feel free to reach out directly to the team members that will be in attendance during the week. Access the full guide here.
In case anyone is having a bad night

Take a breath. It’s going to be okay, I promise.
Indigenous-led conservation, extreme heat restricts our lives, and guerrilla gardeners
I read this lovely bit of good news two weeks ago then promptly forgot to share. There is such a plethora of bad news that sometimes the good news gets shoved out of the way, which is more than just a shame. Good people are doing good work every day, even when it's not on our immediate radar. And now, these combined areas across the Great Bear Sea, almost the size of Portugal, make up Canada's first protected marine sanctuary.

Midweek break to share some good news (from December 2025).
Blue Ventures is a nonprofit focused on rebuilding small-scale fisheries and making coastal communities and their ecosystems more resilient by leading with local knowledge and leadership. Part of Blue Ventures's 2030 strategy is to empower 10,000 communities to lead their own fisheries management and marine conservation along with funding, data and training to keep the work sustainable. The org was gifted a significant donation from MacKenzie Scott, to the tune of USD 62 million. 62 million. Just let that sink in a sec.
There's a lot going on in the world right now and it feels good to take a minute and appreciate something good happening.

World Seagrass Day raises awareness about the threats to these vital ecosystems.
Mangroves and coral reefs get a lot of attention in the blue conservation space these days but seagrass also has its own day (March 1). If you want to learn more about how ecologically and economically important seagrass is (and what you can do to protect), check here.
And if you've ever been curious about eelgrass, watch this presentation by Dr. Olivia J. Graham from Cornell University. She goes into detail about what eelgrass is and why it's important in maintaining coastal ecosystems (spoiler alert - it's a type of seagrass and is very important in stabilizing shorelines and improving water quality for starters).
A good way to start the month is by carrying the good news from last month with us.

The Nature Conservancy folks posted on their LinkedIn today about this free-access Fishkit app they created. Though the video above was posted a year ago, I had not seen an app that had so many tools in one place for small-scale fisheries to use. The app includes a stock health tracker, a size limit builder, a bag limit builder, a temporary closures tool, spatial management guidance, and a data repository. You can find out more information about the app and its impact here.
With 25 million kilos of plastic removed in 2025 alone, The Ocean Cleanup is scaling up efforts to tackle plastic pollution from rivers to o
From the article:
In a world where the scale of plastic pollution can feel overwhelming, 2025 brought a milestone worth celebrating: The Ocean Cleanup, a Dutch nonprofit dedicated to removing plastic from marine environments, pulled more than 25 million kilograms of waste from global waters last year alone. That’s over 55 million pounds or about 2,000 garbage trucks’ worth of plastic that is no longer drifting through our oceans. The achievement brings their cumulative haul to more than 45 million kilos (99 million pounds) since operations began.
In addition to removing huge amounts of plastic waste from the ocean, Ocean Cleanup is also now focusing on devices to collect plastic trash from rivers.
A recent analysis by Ocean Cleanup found that 80% of ocean plastic comes from just 1,000 (1%) of rivers. Stopping plastic at the source so it never even gets to the ocean is significantly easier and cheaper--especially when there are a relatively small number of rivers to focus on for the biggest impact.
Ocean Cleanup has an ambitious goal to remove 90% of floating ocean plastic by 2040 through a combination of prevention and direct removal.

Here’s what you need to know about the first international agreement focused on protecting marine biodiversity in international waters
After 20 years in the making, the High Seas Treaty went into effect in January. This treaty works to protect biodiversity in the majority of the open ocean that is not owned by any particular country.
From the article:
"This historic moment is the culmination of years of dedication and global diplomacy by governments and stakeholders,” said Rebecca Hubbard, director of the High Seas Alliance. But she added: “Achieving 60 ratifications is not the finish line – it’s just the starting block.
Check out this new UN Ocean Decade resource! Updated once a quarter, this is a living and growing resource that features co-design guidance, funding opportunities, publications showcasing Indigenous-led ocean initiatives, and tools that empower local communities to participate in ocean research. This is a win-win-win all around.
