I can’t wait to do my first TED talk in Boston this month. I’ll be speaking about the ocean perspective and how changing our view of the world is one of our biggest opportunities for creating change.

I’m excited to be joining @LindbladExp on an expedition to Ancient Polynesia in the heart of the Pacific — it’s arguably the ultimate location to get a deeper understanding of the ocean.

As #COP27 kicks off in Egypt, I am hearing lots of calls for ACTION. We’ve been calling for action for nearly 30 years. Delegates, I urge you to go down to the sea and put your heads under the water. See for yourself what’s at stake. 📸@alex_mustard

Thank you @elliegoulding for using your voice to inspire action for #coralreefs! Ellie joined our team and @UNEP to see for herself the #GreatFringingReef on the doorstep of #COP27 — a reef that can still be saved through climate action. Listen to her challenge to world leaders.
I made these coral films with @UNEP to be shown at #COP27 in Sharm El Sheikh. Yes ecosystems are on the brink of destruction but we also get to save them. What happens at #COP27 counts. So what are we waiting for? 🌎

It was great to speak with @UNFCCC about @theoceanagency’s work and what’s needed to save #coralreefs as we prepare for #COP27.
“If we don't stick to the Paris Agreement as agreed, we will lose the entire ecosystem of coral reefs." Ahead of #COP27, experts are calling for #ClimateEducation on climate and oceans.
