Reimagine means more than changing our mindset. It means demanding accountability from the systems and leaders responsible for ocean protection. #WorldOceansDay #BluePlanet #MarineProtection CTA: Drive to worldoceanday.org for further reading and action resources

Here is the problem: the global commitment to protect 30% of the world's oceans by 2030 exists. World leaders signed on. But commitments without enforcement are just words. MPAs only work when they are properly resourced, regulated, and respected.

Today is #WorldOceansDay and this year's theme is a challenge: REIMAGINE. Not just how we talk about the ocean. How we relate to it. A thread on why that shift matters, and what it demands from all of us.

Antenatal Care coverage in Nigeria is at 63%. But only 46% of births happen with a skilled health worker present. Something is happening between the clinic and the delivery room. What has stopped women in your community from delivering in a health facility? 👇 #MaternalMonday

When a skilled attendant is present at delivery, fewer mothers die. Fewer babies die. Building that reality means fixing cost, distance, trust, and dignity in our health systems. Who catches the baby matters. Every time. #MaternalMonday #SkilledBirthAttendance #DevComs

MYTH: ANC is enough. FACT: ANC prepares you for a safer pregnancy. Skilled birth attendance protects you during delivery. You need both. One does not replace the other ANC: Antenatal Care

Who catches the baby matters. 63% of pregnant women in Nigeria attend ANC. But only 46% deliver with a skilled birth attendant. That gap is costing lives. Let's talk about what skilled birth attendance actually means, and what it doesn't. 🧵

Pregnancy nutrition is about balance, not fear. When in doubt, focus on variety, hygiene, and moderation, and speak with a healthcare professional for personalized advice. #PregnancyNutrition #MaternalHealth #HealthEducation #MaternalMonday

Myth 5: “You should avoid all seafood.” Truth: Not all seafood is bad. Low-mercury fish like sardines and salmon are actually beneficial. Avoid only high-mercury fish like shark or swordfish.
