Ocean Conservation Grants: The Bezos Earth Fund has added $25 million for Pacific Ocean conservation across the Cook Islands, Kiribati, Papua New Guinea, Tonga, and Vanuatu, bringing its Pacific total to $63.3 million under the “Unlocking Blue Pacific Prosperity” push to protect at least 30% of marine waters by 2030. Climate Justice & Media Access: Pacific media leaders adopted the Savusavu Loss and Damage Media Forum Declaration, calling for timely, transparent access to loss-and-damage information and stronger government accountability, alongside better support for journalists. Research Voyage for a Changing Ocean: CSIRO will lead a major Pacific Ocean research voyage on the RV Investigator, gathering ocean and atmosphere data to track how climate change is reshaping marine ecosystems and what it means for Pacific protection efforts.
