A nice summarised version in The Conversation - Australia + New Zealand about our recent publication in Science (science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…) 🌊🐳🦈🐢🐧

🌊🌍 New global study published in Science identifies the most critical ocean zones for marine megafauna conservation. Using tracking data and network science, researchers mapped key habitats shared by whales 🐳, sharks 🦈, turtles 🐢and more. 🔗 ifisc.uib-csic.es/en/news/global…

🌊 Our recent landmark global study on marine megafauna is live and openly accessible. It draws from decades of tracking whales, turtles, sharks and more to guide ocean conservation worldwide. UN Ocean Decade ourANU UWA Research 🔗 Read more: quicklink.anu.edu.au/hioa

🧭 The MegaMove Project tracked over 15,000 individuals across 121 species in the global ocean. That’s 30+ years of marine movement data collected by ~400 researchers worldwide - the biggest dataset of its kind. Science & Medicine at ANU ourANU

🌱 Marine megafauna are sentinel species – they can be indicators of climate shifts and ecosystem health. Protecting them means we’re protecting the ocean and other biodiversity that depends on it. Science & Medicine at ANU Schmidt Ocean

🌊 Close to a third of marine megafauna species - including some of the most charismatic species in the ocean, such as sharks and turtles - are at risk of extinction. Effective conservation efforts are urgent. WWF UN Ocean Decade

📍 About 66% of marine megafauna movements are linked to important behaviours like migrating, foraging, and breeding. The areas most used for these behaviours might be key to their survival! UWA Research Australian Institute of Marine Science

📢 New study by #OceanDecade Action MegaMove found that: 🦈 Marine megafauna spends 90% of their time in areas identified as "Important Marine Megafauna Areas" 🚨But only 5% of these areas currently fall within marine protected areas Read more: ow.ly/VOqM50Wuupt

🐢 Up to 45% of the space they use is for residency behaviours - resting, feeding, mating. These are the ocean’s nurseries, dining rooms, and homes. They must be protected if threatened species are to recover.

🔵JUST PUBLISHED: As part of the Global Hadal Exploration Programme, an #OceanDecade initiative led by China, researchers have found the deepest colony of creatures ever to be observed. 👉Read more: ow.ly/fALl50WBgTR 👉Learn more about the GHEP: ow.ly/CmSq50WBgTQ

🐟 A total of 50% of space is used for migration - vast corridors linking feeding and breeding grounds. They are the superhighways of the sea that keep nurseries and home areas connected Save Our Seas GEOMAR_en #HighSeas

📡Usingtracking data covering >70% of the global ocean, MegaMove pinpointed the areas of most importance across a range of marine megafauna species. These results can be used for smarter conservation planning. UN Ocean Decade

🐋 Protecting 30% of the ocean is a strong goal. Now we need to protect must the right areas. MegaMove shows which areas are the most important for marine megafauna and where protection is needed

Whales and dolphins rely on sound for their daily activities but human-derived noise is affecting their behaviour. Although invisible, noise pollution is everywhere. Implementing actions to mitigate this threat is needed, such as reducing vessel noise Science & Medicine at ANU UN Ocean Decade
