Nations are pledging to create ocean preserves – how do those promises add up? https://t.co/Rex9eLcEvn via @ConversationUS @Kirsten_GC @_jsullivanstack @_vconstant

The #OurOcean Conf, founded by @ClimateEnvoy in 2014, focused on accountability from the outset. New analysis of OOC commitments concludes this has succeeded in at least 1 category: #MPAs. All #MPA commitments show evidence of progress; 2/3 are complete!👋 @_vconstant @Kirsten_GC
Map of new MPAs originating in #OurOcean conferences. Blue is fully implemented, orange is underway. Will we see even more from @ouroceanpalau? Kudos @JaneLubchenco @JaneLubchenco46 @_vconstant

Ahead of the @OurOceanPalau side-event, a new #MPAGuide to measure commitments made at all to-date #OurOcean conferences was launched. This is what the latest study by @_vconstant, @_K_Dziedzic, @_jsullivanstack, @Kirsten_GC & @OregonState found ➡️ https://t.co/pNm2uvw1tc

If all #MPAs promised at #OurOcean conferences were implemented, a total 14,288,082 km2 (5,516,659 square miles) or 4.0% of the ocean would be protected due to #OurOcean actions alone. https://t.co/Q8hNieaaJK

Establishing an #MPA can take years, but #biodiversity protection only occurs once an MPA is implemented. Use the Stages of Establishment in the new #MPAGuide to track how well your MPA is working! https://t.co/DcQWY3E3pB

A healthy #ocean is important not only for biodiversity, but also for human well-being. Clear understanding of the protection different types of MPAs deliver is key. The #MPAGuide is a newly published framework in @ScienceMagazine that can get us there

The newly published #MPAGuide provides a high-resolution view of actual protection of the ocean in MPAs worldwide. Both quality and quantity matter for effective #biodiversity conservation. #30x30
