“I was there to learn more about critical and innovative approaches to #TransdisciplinaryResearch ' – shares Research Fellow Mia Strand (Mia Strand) after attending the São Paulo School of Advanced Science Transdisciplinarity for Transformative Change program. #OceanLiteracy

At our past #MarineConservation webinar, Dr. Richard Caddell (@cardiffuni) expressed his thoughts on the implications of fisheries closures among other topics relating to #MarineProtectedAreas and the #BBNJ Treaty. Recording available: Oceannexus.org/webinar

Thank you to all #LiveWebinar attendees and presenters yesterday! If you missed it, the webinar recording is now available at Oceannexus.org/webinar.

Our next webinar will be on May 23 on the topic of #BlueEconomy .

'Not all fisheries closures are bad closures' – states Dr. Richard Caddell (Cardiff University)

Fishing area closures essentially regulate stocks that are not there yet, it is far-sighted management.

What are the potential implications of these treaties on social #equity ?

Jade Jones highlights how we should consider the participation of regional voices, Indigenous communities, and key stakeholders. Richard adds how #equity has always been part of the #BBNJ philosophy.

The #BBNJ Agreement – Next Steps

It is not yet enforced. Should the #EU successfully ratify, we would have a total of 27 parties signed on so far, about half way there.

'Despite notable successes with Regional Seas Agreements #RSAs , we do see that instead of holistic environmental protection tools, we have a patchwork of tools that often leave biodiversity vulnerable' –Jade Jones (@cardiffuni) #MarineConservation #LiveWebinar

The 'silo effect' in ocean governance is when there is a fragmented and highly sectorised regulatory framework, explains Jade Jones at the #MarineConservation #LiveWebinar .

' #UNCLOS does not give the legal basis to subject all parties to respect a #HighSeas #MPA '. –Jade Jones (@cardiffuni)

The generality and vagueness of the language is common in most high level multilateral treaties, explains Jade. #LiveWebinar United Nations

Our #LiveWebinar on Marine Conservation has begun! Jade Jones & Dr. Richard Caddell (@cardiffuni), and Dr. Wilf Swartz (@DalhousieU) speak on 'High Seas Marine Protected Areas ( #MPAs ) and the #BBNJ Treaty'

Happening tomorrow! Oceannexus.org/webinar

Today at #OurOcean2024 I had the honor of speaking on a panel co-hosted by the Department of State, NOAA, and Smithsonian Institution. We discussed achieving ocean conservation across global and regional scales in national waters, and in areas beyond national jurisdiction.

We are proud to see Research Fellow Hekia Bodwitch travel around Washington, D.C., advocating for a just and #equitable implementation of President Joe Biden's (@POTUS) #AmericaTheBeautiful conservation initiative.

An #intersectional analysis is crucial for marine science contributions in equitable ocean governance – state Dr. Annet Pauwelussen (Annet Pauwelussen, Wageningen U&R) and Sallie Lau (@UW) in their Special Report on #Gender and #FeministTheory in #MarineSocialScience .
