We, scientists, activists, and sailors from the #UnderThePole–#MaliziaExplorer #expedition, joined by citizens across the globe, call on our governments to do everything possible to protect #Antarctica and the #SouthernOcean. This must begin with the establishment of a #MarineProtectedArea known as #Domain1, in the #WesternAntarcticPeninsula.

What is protected in a Marine Protected Area?
* Destructive fishing in 1/3 of MPAs worldwide
* Bottom trawling, a particularly destructive form, in ~60% of European MPAs

There are established ways to calculate marine protected area coverage. But #Malta, which has a massive marine territory to profit from, uses some creative accounting, and as a result, protection coverage looks larger

Trump Opens a Huge #MarineProtectedArea to Commercial #Fishing
Trump issued #executiveorder opening up #Pacific Islands Heritage Marine National Monument, which lies some 750 miles west of #Hawaii. President George W. Bush established the monument in 2009 and President Obama expanded it in 2014 to its current area of nearly 500,000 square miles.
The president said move was aimed at making the #UnitedStates the world’s “dominant #seafood leader.”

‘We’re tired of waiting’: the #FirstNation that unilaterally declared a #MarineProtectedArea

For 20 years, #IndigenousPeople of the #Kitasoo/#Xai’xais saw their coastal waters being depleted while the #Canadian state dithered. Now they’ve taken matters into their own hands

Quite an important topic sung about here.

Not totally for the use of 'Clearance' here but can't exactly say they're wrong to see their livelihoods and heritage being removed from them whilst simultaneously their homes and community being removed from them by similar forces.

Worth pointing out that MPAs don't stop trawlers from entering and hoovering up all the fish:
