The tools to tackle illegal fishing already exist. At the Our Ocean Science Symposium, GRID-Arendal’s Romain Langeard highlighted how improved surveillance, transparency and cooperation are helping turn detection into deterrence. Now the challenge is scaling what works. #IUUFishing #OurOcean

Ocean protection starts with action. Today, on World Ocean Day, we celebrated our connection to the sea with Hopp i Havet in Arendal. From Raet National Park to SOS Skagerrak, it’s a reminder that global ocean goals start locally. 🌊💙 #WorldOceanDay #30x30

What does turning environmental ambition into action actually look like? GRID-Arendal is at the Global Environment Facility #GEFAssembly, where countries and partners are working to turn climate and nature commitments into real-world results to support change. Global Environment Facility (GEF)

Meet the researchers behind the science. 🎙️ Scientific knowledge can only support better decisions when people understand it. Researchers from the FluxBEATS network joined GRID-Arendal to explore new ways of communicating geoscience at Raet National Park. #ScienceCommunication #Geology

Science What if a rock could tell its own story? 🪨 This playful film from FluxBEATS researchers uses humour to make geology more accessible. Why it matters: Science has a greater impact when people connect with it. #ScienceCommunication #Geology European Commission

🌿This #BiodiversityDay, we’re sharing how GRID-Arendal supports biodiversity governance through science, data, and policy analysis — from Arctic blue carbon ecosystems to mountain biodiversity. Stronger knowledge helps countries make better decisions for people, nature, and climate resilience.

Tyre wear particles are one of the most overlooked sources of microplastic pollution. In the Tread of Darkness uses visual storytelling to show how everyday driving impacts soils, rivers and oceans — and why this hidden pollution matters. 🔗 grida.no/publications/3047 #Microplastics #ZeroPollution

Why this matters: Coastal ecosystems protect livelihoods and biodiversity, but need better data and local action. In Senegal’s Saloum Delta, GRID-Arendal supports mangrove restoration, seagrass research, and sustainable livelihoods with communities and authorities. #OceanAction #WestAfrica

Mountains are on the move. Why this matters: they provide water to billions, but climate change, pollution, and land degradation are disrupting these lifelines — with impacts far downstream. Mountains must be part of climate & development policy. 🔗 url.grida.no/MiM
