The Nature Conservancy would like to thank Governor Healey and the members of our State Legislature for supporting robust funding for several of our priorities in this year’s budget. Responding to climate impacts, protecting our vulnerable natural resources and decarbonizing our economy requires historic investment in energy, environmental and conservation programs. This budget takes necessary steps towards a healthier, more sustainable future for Massachusetts.

How do we depend on a healthy ocean? 🌊 The ocean provides jobs and powers our economies! No matter where you work, what you eat or what you buy, the ocean has played some role in your financial life. Today, so many of us rely on things that are made in one place and shipped overseas. And of course, communities all over the world depend on livelihoods from fishing, aquaculture, tourism and recreation. 🎣🏖️ Curious about climate change’s impact on fisheries? Check out the link to read about Kurt Martin, a seasoned fisherman who has witnessed shifts in climate and fish availability over the past two decades. 🌍🐟 https://nature.ly/4dnkE6d © Ayla Fox

Crunch time for climate action! 🌍 The Massachusetts legislature has until Wednesday to pass a crucial climate change bill and send it to Governor Healey’s desk. Steve Long, Director of Policy and Partnerships for TNC in Massachusetts, highlights: “The bill includes reforms for more efficiently and equitably accelerating the deployment of clean energy while ensuring better outcomes for people and nature.” While the House and Senate agree on these revisions, they need to get to yes on other key topics and move a bill forward. Take Action Now! Contact your legislators and urge them to pass a robust climate change bill. Find your legislators here: https://lnkd.in/eDJhQuG © Jason Whalen | Fauna Creative Wind and Solar farms

🌿🥚 Bekah Myers, our stewardship manager for the Islands and Southeast Massachusetts, recently stumbled upon painted turtle eggs at our Hoft Farm Preserve on Martha’s Vineyard. 🐢🔍 Despite a striped skunk’s sneaky attack on some of the eggs, there are some that are still intact along the trail. 📸 Bekah managed to capture one of the turtles laying their eggs, and we hope to see some baby painted turtles come early fall! #Wildlife #MarthasVineyard
