I strongly recommend you all to check this brief. #OceanDecade #MarineProtectedAreas #OceanGovernance

Excellent achievement toward preaching about our marine resources. This applicable brief should highlight how to implement Marine Spatial Planning (MSPs) which is one of the Saudi Vision 2030 goals to achieve in both the Red Sea and the Gulf.

🔔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

Forest Research has made an important contribution to a new *Dendrochronology Research Framework for Scotland. 🌲👈 FR Scientist, Dr Tom Ovenden MICFor, a subject matter expert and co-author, discusses this new Framework and explores how different aspects of dendrochronology can be combined with technological innovation to answer key research questions relating to biodiversity, conservation and forest management under a changing climate. 🌍 More info: https://ow.ly/AFJo50UjV5N With thanks to @forestryandlandscotland, Dendrochronicle and Historic Environment Scotland ✨ #ScotDendro *Dendrochronology is the use of tree-ring data for scientific research.

🌊 The Marine Biodiversity Observation Network (MBON) is playing a crucial role in understanding and protecting the vital ecosystem of the Northern California Current. By bringing together researchers and agencies across the region, MBON is facilitating collaboration and data sharing, enabling scientists to study the current dynamics more effectively.

The knowledge and wisdom passed down from many generations through words and traditions strengthen the decision-making process in natural resource management. This is one of the most interesting fields of research, and precisely mine!

✴️How do #IndigenousPeoples and #LocalCommunities contribute to Land Restoration? ✅️ Strengthening land management and governance: which should means recognising their own governance ✅️ Learning indigenous and local knowledge: ensuring their transmition must be supported for climate financing ✅️ Supporting landscapes monitoring: ensure they have what needed to monitor recognising the risks
