Bees are crucial for biodiversity, and adopting simple bee-friendly practices can make a big difference. From using conservation agriculture and avoiding pesticides to creating pollinator habitats and leaving dead wood for nesting sites, there are many ways we can help. #Sustainability #Biodiversity #BeeFriendly

🔔The new Belgian marine spatial plan is under public review.  Let your voice be heard! Citizens can comment on the new marine spatial plan until the end of August. The plan states where there is room for which activities in the Belgian North Sea. 👏For the first time, marine reserves have been designated in the new marine spatial plan. The current plan will run until 2026. Luckily, the new one applies for a period of 8 years, until 2034, which will allow more time for nature to restore itself. 🐳The delineation of (strictly) protected marine areas fits within both the European Marine Strategy Framework Directive, the global biodiversity framework of the Convention on Biological Diversity (30% protected natural areas) and the EU Biodiversity Strategy 2030 (10% strictly protected natural areas). #4Sea #NorthSea #Marinespatialplan #marinereserve #oceanprotection Image: Misjel Decleer

Continue to partner with us in keeping Q-quatics databases, FishBase.org and SeaLifeBase.org, as the premier global online sources for key biodiversity information on all aquatic species 🌐🐠. These powerful tools advance #oceanresearch 🌊🔬 and #oceanliteracy 📚, playing a crucial role in addressing global issues such as biodiversity 🐟, #environmentalrecovery, #environmentalprotection 🌏, #sustainabledevelopment ♻️, #fisheriesmanagement 🎣, and the impacts of #climatechange ♨️. [bit.ly/ScientificImpactFB]. “The usage and usefulness of FishBase expands beyond environmental and #ichthyology disciplines to medicine, social, and #economicsciences. There is a real need for publicly available resources like FishBase and it can serve as a model to other disciplines when developing databases.” [Humphries et al, 2023, "Measuring the #scientificimpact of FishBase after three decades"] #oceanjustice #fishbase #sealifebase #globalissues #globalwarming #sustainablemanagement #marineecosystems #marineecosystemsmanagement #oceanconservation #marineconservation #marineresources #ecosystembasedfisheriesmanagement #EBFM #publiresources #citationanalysis

#Freshwater ecosystems are in crisis! By leveraging eDNA analysis, we can efficiently monitor and protect #Biodiversity without disrupting habitats. The recent study from the River Conwy demonstrates eDNA’s potential to pinpoint species’ locations and address local biodiversity declines. Embracing eDNA alongside traditional methods can revolutionize #Conservation efforts, ensuring healthier freshwater #Ecosystems for future generations. MoEF&CC Read more : https://lnkd.in/gFYtgwBx
