Es hat Spaß gemacht, diesen Podcast mit @oceanunger.bsky.social und Julia Vismann aufzunehmen. Und dennoch - es ist längst nicht alles gesagt, warum wir die Meere schützen und mit Bedacht nutzen müssen, und warum das Thema „Meer“ uns alle angeht. Viel Spaß beim Reinhören 🌊

I love this one - exploratory with potential for aaaahhhhs and oooohs. Such as: Polar Bear and Clown Fish both like to swim at around 30 m depth. Highly unlikely, though, they will ever meet there, at least for now. And the magic Coelacanth - search for it at 700 m plus:

Warum erholt sich der #Ostdorsch-Bestand nicht? @ostseeforschung.bsky.social & @thuenenaktuell.bsky.social konnten erstmals direkt messen, dass #Blaualgenblüten der zentralen #Ostsee das #Nahrungsnetz des Ostdorsches verlängern, was dauerhaft zur Energiekrise des Bestands führt: tinyurl.com/yuvb6j5y

Großflächige Blaualgenblüten, wie hier von Bord des Forschungsschiffes Meteor beobachtet, treten in der zentralen Ostsee mit zunehmender Häufigkeit auf. Die aktuelle Studie des IOW und des Thünen-Instituts zeigt, dass sie die Nahrungsnetze für Fische und andere höhere Lebewesen in der Ostsee deutlich verändern. Foto: Andreas Raeke, DWD

Can a new definition of common goods at planetary scale help us navigate the future of humankind? Well, as an example: the ocean is a sphere ignorant of human boundaries while heavily intertwined with our actions and wellbeing. So yes - we should dare to rethink and move beyond geographies.

Thanks 🙏 to all participants for sharing perspectives and discussing along scenario exercises what a good governance of marine carbon dioxide removal could - or should - look like at our 2nd OceanNETs expert workshop last week, at RIFS in Potsdam and online www.rifs-potsdam.de/en/events/fu...
