Are you involved in marine conservation, or work in the marine environment? 🌊 We’d value your input on our draft Marine Conservation Advice Packages for two new Marine Protected Areas in English waters. These are: 🐟 Wyre Lune Marine Conservation Zone – situated in Morecambe Bay off the Lancashire coast and provides critical habitat for smelt, a rare migratory fish once common in our waters. 🦈Orford Inshore Marine Conservation Zone – located 14km off the Suffolk coast and includes subtidal mixed sediments. These provide an important nursery and spawning area for many fish species including sand eels, and several shark species, foraging seabirds and harbour porpoise. Marine Conservation Zones protect typical, rare or declining habitats and species found in our seas. Together with other types of Marine Protected Areas they contribute to the National Site Network.

Para WeAreLab.es responder a estas dos cuestiones es crucial y urgente: "(...) How should intraspecific genetic variability be considered in the management and conservation of seagrass ecosystems? What is needed to successfully and efficiently upscale seagrass restoration and aid recovery?"

One hundred priority questions for advancing seagrass conservation in Europe HERE: https://lnkd.in/e_TEU6_n "The collation of 100 questions from experts across Europe could, if answered, improve our ability to conserve and restore these systems by facilitating a fundamental shift in the success of such work"

Indigenous Peoples’ lands face multiple threats. More awareness and action highlighting the significance of #IndigenousPeoples’ and community-led conservation practices is needed. 🥀 A paper explores how spatial planning can be a collaborative process to support Indigenous Peoples and local communities’ rights, and strengthen human rights-based conservation approaches. It includes case studies from 5️⃣ countries showing the advantages of working with Indigenous Peoples and local communities and the opportunities to learn from their traditional practices to conserve and protect nature. 🌎🌳 Find the paper here: https://lnkd.in/d9EJejVp

𝗙𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗦𝗲𝗮𝗴𝗿𝗮𝘀𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗗𝘂𝗴𝗼𝗻𝗴𝘀: 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝘂𝗰𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗞𝗲𝗽’𝘀 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗘𝗳𝗳𝗼𝗿𝘁𝘀 Director of Marine Conservation Cambodia, Paul Ferber tells the story of his team's dedication over the past 11 years to restoring and protecting the Kep marine management area, which now spans over 2000 hectares of regrown seagrass. The transformation of the area's water quality, the increase in fish and marine resources, and the revival of habitats, leading to a return of Halophila ovalis, also known as Dugong Grass, are all attributed to the exceptional conservation efforts of Marine Conservation Cambodia. Classified as vulnerable by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), Dugongs are the only herbivorous marine mammals in the world. They feed on seagrass and play an important role in coastal marine ecosystems.
