This 'small but mighty' MPA will support vibrant local fisheries and ecotourism industries. Local communities are optimistic that co-managing the MPA will ensure its waters continue to provide food and income for generations. 🌊 Learn more about this achievement here: https://lnkd.in/dVGRSsFX #GoodNewsForTheOcean #OceanConservation #30x30

“A groundbreaking new piece of legislation to designate the largest Marine Protected Area network in the North Atlantic has just been passed, marking a historic milestone to safeguard 30% of the sea surrounding the Azores archipelago” shares Oceanographic Magazine. “Marine Protected Areas are widely recognised as the most effective tool in the global effort to reverse biodiversity loss and build ocean resilience against climate change. The Azores leadership has been earmarked by commentators as ‘particularly inspiring’ given that only 2.8% of the world’s oceans are currently fully or highly protected.” Read more here: https://lnkd.in/d-ShemGG #Azores #MPAs #NorthAtlanticOcean

A groundbreaking new study by Dynamic Planet and National Geographic Pristine Seas reveals that the world needs 85 new Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) every day for the next 6 years to reach the global target of conserving 30% of the ocean by 2030 - in national waters alone. Despite country pledges, only 8% of our oceans are currently in some form of protection. The report proposes a scalable, cost-effective pathway to urgently ramp up effective coastal marine protection–where environmental and social benefits are greatest! With the United Nations Biodiversity COP16 convening next week, these findings are a powerful reality check. Governments must significantly increase their ambitions regarding the speed and scale of effective coastal ocean protection. https://lnkd.in/eR8VTrAS Photograph by Jordi Chias, National Geographic Pristine Seas

Exciting news! Uruguay has announced the creation of a marine park around Isla de Lobos - a small island off Punta del Este whose waters are teeming with life. This haven for ocean species is also home to one of South America's largest sea lion colonies. The creation of Isla de Lobos National Park, which was signed into law late last week by President Luis Lacalle Pou, is a step forward in Uruguay's goal to boost ocean protection from 1% to 10% by 2025.
