🌊 The Mediterranean Sea, a biodiversity hotspot with 28% of the world's endemic species, faces threats from climate change, overfishing & poorly managed MPAs. With 22 bordering countries—only 8 in EU—policy coherence is tough. At CrossGov, we're working on sustainable solutions.

It was a great opportunity to talk about my experience of working with EU marine policies and present some of my PhD results during the #ECOPWednesday, yesterday! If you are interested and you've missed it, it is now on YouTube youtu.be/i_0BnZ1k13A European Marine Board EMB ECOPs network

New One Earth paper, led by Juliette, is out! We show that while the EU MPAs now cover 11.4% of EU seas and have been growing in number, large majority of them do no protect the seas from impactful human activities (86%)! cell.com/one-earth/full…
