“30x30 was a crazy idea when it was first suggested and now it is a global commitment. We need to put these ideas on the table and be more visionary to #SaveOurOcean ” #SavingNatureTogether ⁦Fauna & Flora⁩ ⁦RISE UP - A Blue Call To Action⁩ ⁦Our Ocean Greece⁩

We do not often agree, but just now at the #OurOcean2024 Javier Garat said 'active fisheries management works, lines on a map don't.' That is why Seas At Risk and Oceana in Europe today launched this 👇report showing the shocking amount of destructive bottom trawling in EU MPAs.

Information and knowledge of local fishers can and should be used to guide policy and marine spatial planning to reduce conflicts. Nice example from #southAfrica ⁦ABALOBI⁩ ⁦RISE UP - A Blue Call To Action⁩ #smallscalefishers ⁦Our Ocean Greece⁩
