“This Hope Spot is being announced at a crucial time for Ireland because in 2023, new national Marine Protected Area (MPA) legislation will be introduced for the first time." - Sylvia Earle. Read the full story: #FairSeas #HopeSpots #MissionBlue #30x30

The area has been championed by Fair Seas with the local support of @sea_synergy. This area is home to critically endangered sharks, globally important seabird colonies, and animals threatened with extinction which rely on these areas for breeding and feeding. #FairSeas #30x30

The Hope Spot stretches from Kenmare Bay in Co #Kerry to Loop Head in Co #Clare and covers roughly 7,000km2 of Irish coastal waters. It encompasses one of 16 ‘Areas of Interest’ that we have identified for possible MPA designation. #FairSeas #30x30

Commuters in Cork city have been treated to the sight of a pod of dolphins swimming up and down the River Lee today. The Irish Whale & Dolphin Group say they are keeping a close eye on them but the pod seems to be swimming strongly and feeding well |

The UN says 99% of coral reefs will vanish with just 2C of warming, but this claim collapses the moment you look at a map. Coral reefs are concentrated in the warmest waters on Earth because they need heat and sunlight to survive. If warmth killed coral, the Indo-Pacific and Caribbean would be barren. But they're not. They're instead the global hotspots of reef diversity. And as for the Great Barrier Reef (the world's most politicized reef), it has posted record coral cover over the past four years, directly contradicting decades of climate doom. As always, the "crisis narrative" collapses the moment you stop to take a look at the actual data.

On the 11th of August 2025, the Irish Government published IPAS Inspection Reports (which are simply reports on inspections carried out at facilities housing economic migrants) - these inspections were carried out at multiple facilities across the country and give an insight into the number of apartments (in particular) the Irish Government have commandeered to house economic migrants, at the expense of both homeless Irish people and our young (who are leaving the country in their thousands because they have no hope of ever securing a home in Ireland). This video will show that we have a manufactured housing and homeless crisis, which has been created by the Irish Government's Mass Immigration, Open Borders Agenda. If you are not angry - you are part of the problem.

Alignment trouble looks like a setup problem. Often it's a perception problem. A right-handed, right-eye dominant player often has more difficulty aligning to the target than a cross-dominant player. If alignment is an issue, here are two of our favorite strategies that Dr. Rose introduces in our advanced Golf curriculum. 1) Move the reference spot behind the ball: Instead of picking a reference spot in front of the ball, pick a spot behind the ball on the target line and walk in looking at that. For same-side dominant players, this moves the spot closer to their dominant eye. 2) Keep it binocular: Pick a spot in front and keep your eye on it as you walk in. Draw the line from the ball through the spot, square yourself to it, then walk into the shot. This keeps both eyes working together the whole time. Poor alignment can quietly hinder progress, and a player's visual system can make it even harder to correct. Our next Golf Level 3 seminar is October 9th - 11th at TPI HQ. Golf Level 2 is available via online course.

Incredible visit to U.S. Army Fort Bliss to meet our dedicated Soldiers working alongside CBP agents and Homeland Security on the #SouthernBorder.

This morning, a U.S. Coast Guard tactical team, supported by U.S. Marines and U.S. Navy , boarded and seized Motor Tanker (M/T) Olina in international waters east of the Caribbean. Interagency coordination, and an unstoppable joint force, were instrumental in executing a safe, carefully orchestrated operation consistent with international law. Powered by unique law enforcement authorities and specialized capabilities, the Coast Guard is seizing sanctioned oil tankers and protecting the American people from threats on the high seas. M/T Olina is the latest example. Bravo Zulu to our maritime fighting force – and our partners at Department of War 🇺🇸 and Department of State – for their relentless execution of this mission. The Coast Guard continues operations to control, secure, and defend U.S. borders and maritime approaches – where defense of America begins. #USCG #WeOwnTheSea

Crown Royal is Canadian Whiskey made in Gimli, Manitoba. It puts our country and our province on the map globally. Let’s protect these Canadian jobs in Gimli, as well as in Quebec and Ontario. I’m asking my friend Doug to not follow through on boycotting this Canadian product made from the waters of Lake Winnipeg by hard working blue-collar Manitobans. We should all cheers to that!

Pictures first unveiled show the China Coast Guard on June 17 thwarting the Philippines' illegal moves in the South China Sea. The Philippines broke their promise and sent a supply ship and two inflatable boats into the waters near Ren'ai Reef. Philippine media GMA Network claimed that seven soldiers were hurt, including one who had his finger cut off. Guns were confiscated, and a boat was damaged. This resupply mission was purely a military operation, as admitted by the Philippine media. The operation was led by the Armed Forces of the Philippines, with the Philippine Coast Guard providing covert support. #Philippines #SouthChinaSea #Military #Illegal MediaUnlocked

Statement of the Philippine Coast Guard “CCG ILLEGALLY BLOCKS PCG HUMANITARIAN MISSION” Today, the Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) undertook a humanitarian mission involving the BRP Cabra and BRP Cape Engaño, aimed at delivering vital food and supplies to our personnel stationed aboard the BRP Teresa Magbanua, on extended patrol in Escoda Shoal. Unfortunately, during this mission, the People's Republic of China (PRC) deployed an excessive force comprised of a total of forty (40) vessels including six (6) Chinese Coast Guard (CCG) vessels, three (3) People’s Liberation Army Navy (PLAN) warships, in an attempt to obstruct our lawful humanitarian operation. There were also thirty-one (31) Chinese Maritime Militia (CMM) Vessels in the vicinity waters of Escoda Shoal. Such actions resulted in our two 44-meter Multi-Role Response Vessels (MRRV) being unable to safely deliver essential supplies, including a special ice cream treat from the Commandant in honor of National Heroes’ Day. The PCG remains steadfast in our commitment to uphold national interests and ensure the safety and security of our waters. We urge the China Coast Guard to abide with the international law and stop deploying maritime forces that could undermine mutual respect, a universally recognized foundation for responsible and friendly relations among Coast Guards. The PCG recognizes that white hulls are unique instruments of diplomacy that promotes peace and maintain harmony and stability in the region.

Today, we signed a historic agreement to protect thousands of kilometres of coastal waters adjacent to the Great Bear Rainforest with Wuikinuxv, Nuxalk, Kitasoo Xai'xais, Heiltsuk, Gitxaała, and Gitga’at Nations, and the province of British Columbia. This is the first of up to ten new national marine conservation areas we are establishing through our new nature strategy — helping conserve biodiversity on BC’s Central Coast for generations to come, and contributing to our goal of conserving 30 per cent of marine and coastal waters by 2030.
