Meet Jill Hamilton, director of blue climate strategy in @ConservationOrg's Center for Oceans. She’s exploring how she transformed a passion for the outdoors into a career in international policy — and her advice for others seeking to do the same. conservation.org/blog/policy…
So excited to have played a hand in this moment! Congrats to my friends in Niue!

Today, we present to the world the new Ecuadorian Marine Reserve 🇪🇨 made up of the first 8 miles in front of the coastal marine profile.
A total of 1.5 million hectares of conservation, where marine biodiversity will be protected. #8MillasProtegidas🌊 – at Quito, Ecuador

Panama just announced the expansion of the Banco Volcán protected area. With this action, they protect more than 50% of their total marine area. We’re thrilled to partner with this ambitious #BlueLeader in the protection of our ocean.
