Inspiring read in the Conversation! While exploring the breathtaking marine life of the Maldives, it's hard to ignore the frontlines of climate change. But amidst environmental challenges, a ray of hope emerges from the underwater world. Recent research reveals a surprising expansion of Maldivian seagrass habitats—tripling in size over the last two decades! This growth, possibly fuelled by nutrients from the island's bustling tourist resorts, shows how human activity can play a positive role in marine conservation. Join the movement with #ProtectMaldivesSeagrass as 37 out of 168 resorts pledge to safeguard these crucial ecosystems. Let's celebrate this conservation win and work towards protecting and valuing our natural treasures.

Happy #MPADay! What do you know about the 🌊 Zembra Marine and Coastal Protected Area (MCPA)? 📍 Located in Tunisia and established in 1977, this 50.9 km² park (47km² of it is the marine area) is a sanctuary for diverse habitats, including rocky cliffs, seagrass meadows, and coral reefs. It’s also home to an array of species like dolphins, seabirds, turtles, and fish. 🐟 🐢 🐬 Despite challenges 🔴 like biodiversity loss, pollution, climate change, and human activities, the MCPA implements innovative solutions 💡 such as habitat restoration, sustainable fishing, eco-friendly tourism, and integrated governance. 🌿 The co-management of the Zembra MCPA includes protecting its rich marine ecosystems, biodiversity hotspots, and cultural heritage sites, with a strong focus on stakeholder involvement and sustainable practices. 🤔 But how can it improve? What opportunities can it seize? 👉As with many MPAs, the potential lies in partnerships, innovative research, community engagement, sustainable tourism, and policy support. What is evident is that the Zembra and Zembretta National Park is a 💙 model 💙 of marine conservation, showcasing how collaboration can thrive to protect and restore our precious marine environments.

Greenland has come up with an innovative way to prevent tourism from harming its natural assets and culture. The idea is to classify sensitive areas as either green, yellow or red zones, Polar Journal reports. Green zones would be completely open to tour operators, while red ones would be off-limits. Yellow zones would be somewhere in between. You could call it a traffic-light system for tourists. What do you think of the proposal? Could it work in your country?
