Do you know how healthy oceans relate to healthy societies? you can see it in the new #GES4SEAS policy brief.

This is an important issue, deserving attention and investigation

In #MOOC 4 about tipping points #TIPP we explored the importance of "why it is best not to reach them". The #GES4SEAS project has now published a policy brief on this topic:

🔗 https://zenodo.org/records/19189962

Why tipping points are important when managing marine systems?

policy briefs are important to showcase how scientific outcomes can be used by managers and policy-makers in their daily management needs. #GES4SEAS is committed with this way of proceed

A new policy brief from #GES4SEAS is out, on #tippingpoints and its importance in marine management.
Share it with your colleagues, stakeholders, managers and policy-makers

MarinART Challenge: Urban Art for Europe’s Seas - GES4SEAS GES4SEAS invites you to participate in the MarinART Challenge to raise awareness of marine pressures, using art to highlight topics such as biodiversity loss and pollution.

Are you leaving on holidays this Easter?
Why not participating in #GES4SEAS #MarinArt challenge?
Take a photo from an street-art mural, with marine motifs and upload it here ⬇️
You can help us and win some interesting prizes!

also, we taught on #NEAT, to assess environmental status at sea. Over 30 scientists and managers attended this successful new training session on #Tikta, organized by #GES4SEAS. We are training many people across Europe!
Thanks to all attendees!

Yesterday, together with @miteco.gob.es, we organized a training session of #Tikta #GES4SEAS for #IEO-CSIC, on assessing cumulative effects from pressures at sea

The effects of cumulative pressures at sea are important. At #GES4SEAS we have written a policy brief to show managers some tools allowing to take action on this #ocean problem

Thank you, #GES4SEAS, for this month of #oceanoptimism
I think that now scientists and society can have more tools to change the narrative about the ocean, in a positive way

With this #oceanpositive message we close our #GES4SEAS MOOC series thanking you all for having followed us during these weeks!
#OceanOptimism

Jacques Ives Cousteau once said that
“We only protect what we love,
we only love what we understand, and
we only understand what we are taught.”
#GES4SEAS #MOOC #oceanoptimism

We are ending this #GES4SEAS #MOOC
During one month, you have seen that:
- We have the #policies,
- We have the #science,
- We need the #society, ...
- We need you to change the narrative about the #ocean in communication!
We need #OceanOptimism

Original post on fediscience.org

Hence, we need to balance our narrative about the future of the ocean.
A few years ago, we published a paper prioritizing topics for a positive action from media, scientists and society.

We will repost and comment your examples, which can serve to others to take action!
Help us to expand the good news about the #ocean and promote a change of narrative
#GES4SEAS needs you!
Comment here, provide your examples, repost and come to the last 2 days of the #MOOC

After the examples shown past 3 weeks, show yours with success #restoring, #recovering or achieving good sea health
They can be based on good #management practices, societal engagement or any other measure allowing good news

In Europe, this is translated into the Nature Restoration Regulation,
The target is recover 20% of the sea by 2030, and all ecosystems by 2050.
See you next week, with more hope for the #ocean
#GES4SEAS #MOOC #oceanoptimism […]

UN Decade on Restoration Ecosystem restoration generates tangible benefits for food and water security, climate change mitigation and adaptation, and can prevent conflict and migration triggered by environmental degradation.

At the same time, we have the UN Decade on Ecosystems Restoration 2021-2030,
This is to prevent, halt and reverse loss of nature and #biodiversity #GenerationRestoration
#GES4SEAS #MOOC #oceanoptimism

There are plenty of actions to study the ocean, including mapping the #seabed, #eDNA expeditions, satellite observations, #bluecarbon studies, etc.

Ocean Decade – The Science We Need For The Ocean We Want The Ocean Decade is a 10-year framework initiative to identify, generate and use critical ocean knowledge to manage the ocean sustainably.

All the examples we have seen up to now are supported by good science.
We have the UN Decade of the Oceans 2021-2030 "The science we need for the ocean we want" to do this good science

this screenshot, from the Protected Planet, shows the current situation of MPAs, you can navigate there

You can discover the #MPAs in the world, and their status, using this link of Protected Planet, where 16,805 MPAs are presented

this graph, from the Marine Protected Atlas, shows the growth in marine protected areas coverage, globally

...in recent years the increase in the marine areas protected is impressive, and we have near 3 times the surface protected 10 years ago
#GES4SEAS #MOOC #oceanoptimism
#MarineEcology #Research

this table, from the Marine Protection Atlas, shows the status of the marine protection areas in the world

Implemented and designated Marine Protected Areas #MPAs occupy >23 M km2 and there are >10 M km2 proposed.
We are still far from the objective of 30% but….
