In the mid 60s my dad @mikecrockettart sailed through French Polynesia and fell in love with it. I grew up playing with shells from the islands and looking at this picture of his boat moored up on Mo’orea. Earlier this year, as part of the Te Moana Collective, I was lucky enough to visit and meet with President Moetai Brotherson on behalf of @bluemarinefoundation . Yesterday on World Ocean Day, the President announced new highly protected marine areas across 500,000km2 of ocean around the Marquesas and Austral Islands. This builds on 1.1m km2 of fully protected areas announced on the same day last year and confirms French Polynesia as a world leader in marine conservation.
I was in awe of the place, the people and the ocean. I freedived with some curious sharks in the Gambier Islands and got an intro to paddling from one of the main understated heroes of these designations (though he’d never admit it), Donatien Tanret. In some downtime, @toutiess of the @coralgardeners made my dreams come true by taking me surfing on his ski on the pass out the front of where my dad stayed. My eternal gratitude to Titouan. It was incredible to come back sixty years after my dad’s time there, walk in his shoes a bit and play a small role in this huge conservation achievement.

The community of the Juan Fernández archipelago is today celebrating an historic achievement for ocean conservation. President Gabriel Boric has signed a legal decree that fully protects 360,000km2 of the waters around the Juan Fernández and Nazca-Desventuradas marine parks. Once effectively implemented, the fully protected area will cover a massive 920,000km2, the third largest in the world (after the Ross Sea in Antarctica and Papahānaumokuākea).
Chile will also have reached over 50% protection of their exclusive economic zone, alongside other global leaders like French Polynesia and Panama. @bluemarinefoundation , Pew Bertarelli Ocean Legacy @donabertarelliphilanthropy , @fundacionpatagoniaazul @islandconservation and partners, celebrate this huge moment for the global ocean. Amazing teamwork from around the planet, thank you to these special people @max_bello @ignaciocuetod @sylvia.earle @kaymichaelides @andy_mann @eduardo.sorensen @oliviamandle @monicanavarro22 @nalani.ivelic @sebasnicholls @kyle.roepke @campbellbrewer @kathrynbays 📷 @andy_mann @eduardo.sorensen

Visiting Robinson Crusoe island has been a highlight of my work with @bluemarinefoundation , not simply because of the extraordinary abundance and diversity of marine life, but also because of the passionate, welcoming and brilliant community. They have been sustainably managing their lobster fishery since the 1890s.
The community proposal to increase protection around the two archipelagos - Juan Fernandez and Desventuradas - will be decided on by President @gabrielboric in the next few days. If agreed and signed into law by the president, over 300,000km2 will become a fully protected area, pushing Chile over 50% of ocean protected, an historic legacy.
In December, I was lucky enough to visit with @dr.sylviaearle , today she is back on the island campaigning for the marine protected area to happen. When Sylvia last went in the 1960s the endemic fur seal was thought to be extinct, it is powerful to now see the population healthy and thriving, estimated to be over 200,000 strong. Marine protection works, for nature and people.

I used to hang with some friends who approached the tricky question of how good the waves were with a range of acronyms. There was DOTS (day of the season), DOTY (day of the year) and the rarely called DODS (day of days).
I don’t know how to rank this day in January but it was special. I jumped in too early to beat the crowd and found myself alone in perfect running point surf. Green and licked by a light offshore. By the time dusk fell and the tide had dropped I was broken, there were sets steaming the length of the point, 500m or more.
I don’t usually take photos but figured none of this is in any way secret anymore, the wave looks after itself. Amazing seeing how many people jump in with no idea how to get out of the water! Last picture by @abdo.media.filmmaker
Classic trip with @tom_crowe78 and @jamesbowdown

So much love for these extraordinary creatures and the ocean they inhabit. Thanks for the 📷 @andy_mann

These rough-toothed dolphins are oceanic and quite rare to this area, especially in large pods. It is also unusual for them to stop and interact. This day they stayed for hours, circling us, doubling back and playing. At depth while freediving their songs were almost deafening. Below us a 1000m canyon. There is so much we do not yet understand. 📷 @max_bello (taken under special permit) thanks for the fins @francisperez000 @bluemarinefoundation

If you haven’t yet, get on it. I have an article up on @finisterre talking about the state of UK seas and how to vote for the ocean. Amazing poster by @surfersagainstsewage with a perfect illustration by @jagosilver

So good to see 🇮🇪 again for the @hometreecharity summer school and Changing Landscapes conference, to see old friends and make new ones. I’m still processing everything I learned but in awe of the power and potential of this group of people. Give them a follow, support them if you can. A few lucky waves too. Thanks @honestcaptain for the hospitality.

When I started surfing I was in awe of @surfersagainstsewage and the work they do to protect the sea from pollution. I’m super proud to be on their board of trustees and will be paddling out with them on the 18th May in Falmouth to protest the ongoing sh*tty way the government and water companies treat our rivers and seas.

Winter is strange. It felt endless this year. As soon as it’s gone I miss it though. Throwback to a very average winter morning no one else could be bothered with, riding an 8 foot Liddle Baby V. 📷 @jamesbowdown

A magical experience in the Dominican Republic. This calf was around one month old, curious and playful. Her mother was relaxed, now and again lifting her fin to let her baby out. For an hour the calf would come to us before going back to her mother for reassurance. Seeing the connection and intimacy between them was profoundly moving. I feel very grateful to call this work. After a lot of effort by @bluemarinefoundation and others the Dominican Republic government announced effective protection of 30% of their marine environment today, hopefully heralding a new wave of marine conservation in the Caribbean. Hats off to my brothers and sisters in arms @max_bello @dr.sylviaearle @andy_mann @j5to @jondelance @omarshamir @isleofskyemusselcompany 📷 by @max_bello video is my first @gopro effort
