EU invests in ocean monitoring as US cuts funding
With underwater drones and ocean-focused satellites, the EU is expanding its monitoring network of Earth’s seas as climate change fuels heat waves and stronger storms and the Trump administration plans severe cuts to a similar system in the US.

@biogeneurope.bsky.social getting started with BGE+ #biodiversity 🧬🧪
The 2026 FIFA World Cup was recently coined ‘the most polluting World Cup’ due to its sheer geographic footprint. This year’s event stretches across 16 cities in Canada, the US, and Mexico.
