On January 1, 2013, Shell's Kulluk drilling platform ran aground on Sitkalidak Island, Alaska, amidst 40 mph winds and 20-foot seas. A Coast Guard MH-60 Jayhawk helicopter crew overflew the scene, captured in a U.S. Coast Guard video by Petty Officer 1st Class Sara Francis.

This incident highlighted ongoing concerns about Arctic drilling. For further insight, read the Ocean Doctor blog post, "Lessons of BP Deepwater Horizon: Unlearned and Now Unleashed in Alaska."

Despite the pandemic, border wall construction persists. Crews are blasting mountains, destroying ancient cacti, sacred sites, and draining springs. These walls disrupt wildlife migrations and harm communities.

Over 650 miles of barriers already exist, cutting through sensitive ecosystems, disrupting animal migration, causing catastrophic flooding, and dividing communities and tribal nations. This unfolding tragedy impacts the region's diverse wildlife, people, and spectacular landscapes.

We are actively fighting this attack in courts, Congress, and communities. This presentation features the Center's Laiken Jordahl, borderlands campaigner, and Randy Serraglio, Southwest advocate.

Oceans cover 71% of Earth, sustaining over a billion people. Yet, overfishing is rapidly depleting this vital resource, threatening life and protein for a hungry planet.

Fortunately, oceans are remarkably resilient. Ten countries manage most wild seafood, and Oceana has achieved critical policy victories in many, safeguarding over a million square miles.

We can reverse this decline by ending overfishing, controlling bycatch, and protecting ocean nurseries. Join Oceana today to help ensure bountiful oceans for generations to come.

James founded "Phone credit for refugees and displaced people" after an eye-opening trip to Calais. What began as a Facebook group evolved into an organization providing vital phone credit to displaced adults and children worldwide. This initiative offers the gift of communication to those separated from family and friends, far from home, and in uncertain circumstances.

The organization has supplied over £700,000 worth of phone credit, enabling people to contact loved ones, stay updated with news, and summon emergency, life-saving assistance. With over 70,000 Facebook followers, their impact is significant. James's talk explores the boundaries of compassion and responsibility, defining community, and how he found a creative solution.

This talk was given at a TEDx event, independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx.

Los Angeles, with nearly 10 million residents, depends on imported snowmelt from the distant Eastern Sierra Nevadas and Rocky Mountains for its water supply.

UCLA researchers Stephanie Pincetl and Mark Gold are studying how the city can reduce these imports. Their work focuses on enhancing local water capture, storage, and reuse to establish a more sustainable water system for the region.

The sailfish, one of the ocean's fastest fish, can reach speeds up to 68 mph. These speedsters use their long bill to swipe and stab, stunning prey. Scientists believe their large, namesake sail enhances bill accuracy, acting as a keel for stability or a fence to herd prey.

The lower Snake River dams are pushing salmon to extinction, threatening orcas, breaking tribal treaties, and harming communities in the Northwest. Removing these four dams would enable the largest river restoration in history, restoring over 5,000 miles of free-flowing habitat for millions of salmon.

Urgent action is needed for better infrastructure and a healthier ecosystem. Tell Congress to restore the lower Snake River and save salmon and orcas before it's too late. Learn more and act: https://dfnd.us/3s1aJvh
