‘A national scandal’: trawlers scour seabeds of supposedly protected #UK waters
Almost 40% of #England’s seas are designated as #marineprotectedareas.
‘Precious ocean life is being pushed to the brink,’ say campaigners, arguing #overfished marine areas are ‘protected only on paper’
Report found #NorthSea & #CelticSea cod, #IrishSea whiting, Irish Sea herring and North Sea and east #EnglishChannel horse mackerel at critically low levels, yet continued to be overfished.

#Seaturtle boom may be hiding a population collapse
#Globalwarming causes temperatures to rise, more sea #turtle eggs are developing into females. As in some other #reptiles turtle’s sex is dependent on incubation temperature. Without enough males, even a seemingly thriving population can collapse.
Conservation efforts, #marineprotectedareas, fishing regulations and protecting egg clutches, are helping populations, but may not provide full picture.

U.S. President Donald Trump has moved to reopen the Northeast Canyons and Seamounts Marine National Monument to commercial fishing, arguing it won’t harm marine species and will support the industry.

Conservationists say the protected area is a vital sanctuary — and warn of wider rollbacks affecting other U.S. marine monuments.

The treaty establishes a framework for marine protected areas (MPAs) that can curb harmful activities like deep-sea mining.

MPAs have increased by over 160% since 2015 and aim for further growth! #MarineProtectedAreas #SustainableDevelopmentGoals

Top scientists call for permanent ban on high seas exploitation

Extractive activity in international waters - including #fishing, #seabedMining, and #oil and #gas exploitation - should be banned forever, according to top scientists.

Devastating Impact Of #Trawling Revealed In World-First Footage Of Marine Animals Fleeing Nets
“This is something that doesn't have to happen in our #marineprotectedareas. It could end tomorrow, if we choose it to, and it would be to the benefit of every living thing on the planet,” director Toby Nowlan told IFLScience.
"This hit me in the guts. Being at the level of the net and seeing all these poor creatures trying to escape the net."-Enric Sala

South Korea's Maritime Minister announces plans to lead global expansion of marine protected areas, pledging to designate over 2,000 km² domestically and contribute to international efforts through regional fisheries management organizations.

🐟 Understanding #MarineProtectedAreas effectiveness is key for the 30x30 target. #MOVE (#BiodivProtect) evaluated 59 MPAs in California: boost in fished species biomass, but less in species richness/diversity. Which MPA features drive performance?

Our paper is out ! "Alternate Stable States Theory: Critical Evaluation and Relevance to Marine Conservation"

https://www.mdpi.com/2077-1312/12/2/261

The #AlternateStableStates theory has been invoked widely as a red flag within discussions of #climatechange impacts without ensuring that its basic assumptions are fulfilled. It's also a plea for more mathematical modeling in ecology to strengthen theory and its applications.
#revisingecologicaltheory
#tippingpoints #marineprotectedareas #criticalreview

Article accepted this morning ! It was inspired by a challenging question : why is it so difficult to prove the existence of alternate stable states in ecological systems ? An important question because the theory has been invoked so widely as a red flag within analyses of #climatechange impacts and for environmental activism.
