As 🐟 stocks decline, wage theft & other labor abuses may rise to keep fishing profitable, perpetuating unsustainable fishing & worker exploitation. To break this cycle, we helped launch IKAN: WorkSmart, a free app empowering fishers to know their rights: ikanapp.com

In ocean science, even the best ideas can die on land—stalled by regulations, access, & the difficulty of trying new tech at sea. Learn more about efforts underway at @HopkinsMarine, including a program co-led by @oceansolutions, to address this gap: bit.ly/4c3Rzhn

Meet the ✨Ocean Equity Index ✨, a new tool for measuring & advancing ocean equity ➡️ oceanequityindex.org/ "By turning equity into a measurable standard, we can finally move from promises of equity to making progress," said co-author Josheena Naggea of @oceansolutions.
A wheel reads "ocean equity index" in the middle and is split into thirds: distributional, procedural, and recognitional. It has examples within each section.
