I’ve completed the #HudsonSwim2023! 315 miles from source to sea. People have fought for 50 years to get this river clean. And today she is beautiful. I will never forget the wildlife. The bald eagles, the vultures, the beavers and black bears. So this is my message 🏊‍♂️👇🏞️ The Hudson is emblematic of all rivers in the world. If the people of the New York can do this, then your river can also be saved. But it takes constant vigilance! Rivers are the arteries of our planet. Everything that we hold dear relies on their protection.

Love your river? Help protect it. If you see litter outdoors, it only takes a second to pick it up, and who knows? You could be saving the life of a whale, bird, or beaver 🐋🦅🦫 #HudsonSwim2023 #BeatPollution

As our planet warms and heatwaves intensify, it’s the blue spaces we’ll rely on to keep us cool. One more reason to protect them 🔥❄️💙 📷: Oliver Curson

A different view of Earth. The sheer size of the Pacific Ocean is incredible.

The ocean benefits mental health, but how exactly? 🌊 Staring at the sea alters brain waves, inducing a meditative state. 🌊 Waves' sounds activate the parasympathetic system, promoting relaxation. 🌊 Salty air, rich in negative ions, boosts mood. #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek

As someone who loves swimming and the sea, I believe we have a duty to protect it. That's why I talked to @outdoorswimming about the need for swimmers to take action and drive change. Please read 📰⬇️ outdoorswimmingsociety.com/l…

Stack o' Roo in Orkney today. Not as well-known as the Old Man of Hoy or Yesnaby Castle, but still an impressive sight.

Why are blue spaces good for well-being? @ECEHH outlines the benefits of being in or near the ocean. The ocean can restore us, reduce stress & anxiety, connect us with nature, and boost our health. @UniofExeter @ExeterMarine @CF_Conf #CoastalFutures23 🌊 💧 🌎
