Hemos perdido casi dos décadas desde que se aprobó el reglamento europeo; la anguila europea desaparece.
Ahora debemos detener su pesca junto a un plan social, restaurar sus hábitats y permeabilizar barreras y reforzar la lucha contra el tráfico internacional.

A large shark swims through a deep blue ocean background, facing the viewer from the right side. Overlaid text summarizes key aspects of the global shark trade: “Shark fin trade is centralized around Asia. Shark meat trade is broader and more complex. Europe and Latin America act as major redistribution hubs.” The composition contrasts the shark’s form with the clean, bold typography to highlight trade imbalances and geopolitical roles.
Our latest #sharkscience paper maps the global shark product network—and the EU’s central, complex role in it.

What are the social impacts of large-scale marine protected areas? We reviewed the evidence in this paper.
Better management of the social impacts of marine protected areas can lead to more equitable & effective outcomes.

Wir stehen an einem kritischen Punkt, belegt ein neuer UN-Bericht: www.cms.int/en/news/land...
Was hilft? Mehr grenzüberschreitende Schutzmaßnahmen! ⤵️

Landet mehr kaltes Süßwasser im Nordatlantik, kommt der Wasseraustausch durcheinander und damit das Klima. Können wir etwas dagegen tun? Ja! #Klimaschutz muss endlich höchste Priorität haben! Wir brauchen viel mehr erneuerbare Energien.
