@OurOcean @GGGInitiative estimates a single abandoned net (#ghostgear) may kill an average of 500,000 marine invertebrates, 1,700 fish & 4 seabirds before breaking down into toxic microplastics. orlandosentinel.com/opinion/…
Enjoyed meeting and seeing everyone tackling the problem of #ghostgear at #UNOC ! Thanks to @GGGInitiative for hosting the event.

Last night, it was great to have the opportunity to connect in person with GGGI members and hear about all their amazing work #UNOC2022
It was amazing to have representatives from these 3 groups in the same room. This is how we're going to get to the right solutions for the industry, and get them funded!

Last week's Fishing For the Future conference connected funders & tech developers w/ active commercial fishermen to better understand their goals & needs. Read the industry report that helped guide the discussion: static1.squarespace.com/stat…

Fun to wander around my old haunting grounds at @MIT with @BlueOceanGear_ teammates Ryan and Peter!
It's nice to be meeting folks in person again, especially our awesome @BlueOceanGear_ investor and supporter @AdamDraper!

This World Kindness Day, let’s be kind to our oceans by keeping them clean!🌊😍 Using less plastic and disposing of it properly will keep trash out of our oceans and prevent harming aquatic species and their habitats.
It's been great getting back out in the field on both coasts with fishermen and aquaculture managers these past few weeks- grateful for the folks working on the water sharing what they do!
