Happy World Octopus Day! 🐙 #MissAbyss & I went to SCOTUS yesterday to stand in solidarity with our partners from the U.S. Territories.

Celebrate by sharing YOUR #MissAbyss selfie to stand with us against seabed mining!

Eight arms. One big ocean. And one important message: deep-sea mining threatens the ocean’s health. 🐙💙 Miss Abyss wasn’t meant to be a solo traveler. Dive into her story, download & share your selfie w/ #MissAbyss, and help turn a little deep-sea wonder into a whole lot of ocean love.

Miss Abyss landed in Oakland, CA, and immediately got hella hyphy. Eight arms. Zero patience for deep-sea mining. She’s claiming Lake Merritt as her weekend residence. The geese have requested a meeting. #MissAbyss

Go to bed a champ tonight. You showed up for the deep sea and the island communities whose lives and cultures are bound to it.

Your weekend assignment: a little arts and crafts, a photo, and a very big NO to deep-sea mining. Minimal effort. Potentially massive return. Help #MissAbyss put opposition on the map—and stand with communities in U.S. Pacific territories. It’s as easy as 1-2-3.

Feel that ripple?
Something BIG is coming in the next chapter of the #MissAbyss drama. We're keeping the details submerged-for now.
Stay tuned.

In the meantime, Stop Deep Sea Mining in US Territories: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Tell Washington, D.C.: Pacific Islanders’ seafloor, cultures, and futures are not for sale—and the deep ocean is not a sacrifice zone. 🌊✊
