Happy Aquatic Animal Day! This is a reminder to appreciate life beneath the surface, but also to recognize the progress being made to protect it! 🌊

In 2026, we’ve already seen major advancements in marine science and conservation, from global policy like the High Seas Treaty to new deep-sea species discoveries and expanded efforts to explore the ocean floor

These milestones highlight how much we’re learning, and how much is still left to protect

Today we’re highlighting a new piece by BWEEMS member Deniel Novella that explores who gets included, and excluded, in climate decision-making.

Indigenous and tribal communities have been protecting ecosystems for generations, yet their knowledge is often left out of the policies meant to sustain them.

This article dives into that gap and why it matters. What are your thoughts on how traditional knowledge is included in climate conversations?

A recent discovery off the coast of Argentina has revealed one of the largest known deep-sea coral reef systems. Unlike shallow reefs, these corals exist in cold, dark environments and grow slowly over long periods of time, creating complex habitats for a wide range of organisms.

Findings like this are a reminder that large portions of the ocean remain unexplored, and that ecosystems we are only beginning to understand may already be vulnerable to human impacts.

Only 1. Let that sink in.
Currently, in 2026, just ONE Black woman is holding a CEO position in the Fortune 500.
Representation isn’t a trend, it’s long overdue.
