Earlier today at the Our Ocean Conference Research Symposium, I spoke about strengthening maritime security through innovation and technology. As #OOC2026 begins this week, one message stands out: maritime security is about more than ships and ports—it protects people, economies and ecosystems.

🌊 Wrapping up #NYCClimateWeek + #UNGA80 with growing momentum for the ocean. With more belief in public data & transparency, we can help protect biodiversity, fight IUU fishing and support #BBNJ implementation. Continued momentum will be critical for the ocean and our planet. 🌍

Honored to contribute to the discussion yesterday at @bloombergdotorg.bsky.social high-level roundtable during #UNGA80, which focused on the role of AI in advancing ocean transparency and sustainability. Keeping transparency and open data at the center of ocean governance is essential

I have arrived in New York ahead of #UNGA80. My agenda this week is to keep transparency at the heart of high-seas discussions and build the partnerships needed to deliver transparency. Big moment for the ocean: time to make it count. #BBNJ @globalfishingwatch.org @highseasalliance.bsky.social

My thoughts are with Rémi's family and friends this afternoon as his memorial service takes place in Amsterdam. I am sad not to have been able to travel but I know that his achievements will be celebrated in style! His memory, his legend, will live on in so many ways. RIP Rémi. 💙

The ocean sustains billions of people and global economies. Yet, illegal and unreported fishing operates largely in the shadows, threatening marine life, human rights, and food security. Governments must act now to deliver full transparency at sea. Learn more: bit.ly/41M3PyE @oceana.bsky.social

I am in France to help raise some money in the fight against Prostate Cancer. We follow the route of the Tour de France Grand Depart. 115miles. Wish me luck, I am not well prepared in terms of miles in the saddle but I will get it done! Please help PCUK if you can www.justgiving.com/page/tony-lo...

It was a great way to make sure the ocean was present as We proposed protection!

Enjoying the briefing from Dan Skerritt and Vanya Vulperhorst explaining the @oceanaeurope.bsky.social “Beyond the Flag” report. Transparency: sunlight removes the darkness!

I’ll be in Nice next week for #UNOC3, building on momentum from April’s Our Ocean Conference. At Global Fishing Watch, we're pushing for transparency, global vessel tracking & real progress on 30x30. Watch the OOC plenary: www.youtube.com/watch?v=3aj2... #OceanAction #30x30
