[2/5] Les #EBSAs regroupent des milieux variés : zones côtières (55%), océaniques (17%) et grands fonds (28%). Certains sites abritent des espèces clés comme les tortues, les oiseaux marins ou les mammifères, d'autres des habitats critiques (mangroves, monts ss-marins, zones d’upwelling). #geography

Canada’s engagement on marine conservation has helped drive progress under @unbiodiversity.bsky.social, including #COP16Colombia decision on #EBSAs: bit.ly/4jy2YIy

At #OOC10 H.E. Annette Gibbons, Deputy Minister of Fisheries and Oceans, and I discussed synergies between the CBD and #BBNJ Agreement.

At #COP16Colombia Parties agreed on new mechanisms for the identification of Ecologically or Biologically Significant Marine Areas #EBSAs.

EBSAs can bolster marine conservation under the #KMGBF and support the implementation of the #BBNJ agreement.
