Great leadership from Australia government and HAC for Nature and People international steering committee member, perfect tone set for @CCAMLR countries as they prepare to meet in Hobart to discuss how best to deliver on the 2023 G20 commitment to designate a system of Southern Ocean MPAs.

Now is the time to ACT. CCAMLR countries can decide to protect over 4.5 million km2 of the ocean with 4 Southern Ocean MPA proposals ready to be adopted to reach 26% of the Southern Ocean protected - an essential contribution to accelerate conserving 30% of the global ocean.

📢 The Southern Ocean is changing fast. Sea ice is vanishing, marine heatwaves are increasing. It's time for #CCAMLR to step up and designate #MPAs. New report sheds a light on the critical importance of this region and the need for action NOW: bit.ly/4evBZLp

Did you miss the GAUCHOS DEL MAR and Nic Kirkham on ABC Hobart Drive Time yesterday, talking #CCAMLR and #SouthernOcean conservation... and #surfing!! Listen here... abc.net.au/listen/program…

🌊 Only 8.3% of the world’s ocean is protected, & just 2.8% is likely to be effectively safeguarded. To achieve 30% protection by 2030, a new report we supported outlines the urgent action needed. The future of our ocean depends on global action & partnership, see how we can

No country, rich or poor, is immune to the devastation inflicted by climate change, biodiversity loss, land degradation and pollution. Biodiversity is humanity's ally. We must move from plundering it to preserving it. #COP16Colombia

This #COP16Colombia #COP16 was a fantastic opportunity to have great conversations with allies and partners, as it was reassuring to see the energy and commitment from everyone we met to continue working together for #OceanConservation 🌊 and reaching #30x30

Our team at #COP16 #COP16Colombia met with partners and decision-makers to pursue our mission of increasing Marine Protected Areas worldwide. 🌊🌎#OceanConservation

The Southern Ocean is a vital link between the world’s largest oceans, dispersing nutrients & oxygen globally and hosting unique species. New Antarctic and Southern Ocean Coalition report highlights why we need to #ProtectAntarctica: bit.ly/4evBZLp via Mission Blue

This proposal is a positive step towards banning bottom trawling in MPAs. Congratulations to our partner Seas At Risk for their efforts in making this happen! 🌊

The Government of Panama is protecting the rich biodiversity in the Coiba MPA by identifying and detaining suspected vessels fishing illegally. The government sets an example to follow in other areas. ¡Felicitaciones Ministerio de Ambiente de Panamá ARAP @SENANPanama!

We welcome Denmark's🇩🇰 decision to #BanBottomTrawling in over 17% of its marine area, aiming to regenerate the seabed & restore vital fishing grounds. Oceana has conducted research in parts of the Little Belt to document its underwater biodiversity, & proposed it for protection.

French Polynesia is teeming with biodiversity and is one of the world’s last remaining marine wilderness areas. It’s easy to see why over 90% of residents support creating two new marine protected areas. Dona Bertarelli Philanthropy 🔗pew.org/3CAVRyQ via Pew Environment

Congratulations to Vladimir Russo, ED at Fundação Kissama, our partner in Angola, for being recognized by the Ministry of Environment for his contributions toward safeguarding marine and terrestrial biodiversity assets. linkedin.com/posts/vladimir…

Bottom trawling is a highly destructive & non-selective fishing method happening in Marine Protected Areas - yet 🇪🇺 countries fail to regulate it effectively. This is why the #OceanPact must enforce new, binding rules to ensure that #ProtectedMeansProtected! 🌊✊#EUBlueFuture

Marine protected areas (MPAs) should be just that - protected. But 60% are still bottom trawled across Europe, destroying crucial marine life. We’re demanding EU and UK governments act. 📢 Email your gov to ban bottom trawling in MPAs now! bit.ly/41RiLea #ForTheOcean
