Marine protected areas are 🔑 tools for ocean conservation, but they’re not all equal. #theBlueLeaders are championing the call for a network of HIGHLY & FULLY protected areas bc they offer most protection from environmentally damaging activities. The #MPAGuide shows us how👇

Interested in Marine Protected Areas? Check out this short graphic guide. It avoids the confusion caused by so many different types of protection and the lack of clarity about when #biodiversity protection begins and an #MPA is counted. 👉 https://t.co/ETtkaoOImJ #MPAGuide

Establishing a Marine Protected Area can take years. 🗓️ 🐡 Watch this animation to learn the 4 stages of #MPA establishment. Knowing the stage is important, as #biodiversity is not safeguarded until the #MPA is implemented & enforced. #MPAGuide https://t.co/ETtkaoOImJ

🐚Last week we launched the #MPAGuide, a science-based tool that helps to understand the potential of Marine Protected Areas to achieve global goals for the #ocean. Discover 5️⃣ insights from the Guide that can help improve ocean conservation👉 https://t.co/BSvE6OZxug

Highlighting where #MPAs are not yet implemented? There’s a new tool for that: The #MPAGuide https://t.co/NKxrdUyur4 #30x30 #SDGs #Biodiversity #OneOceanOnePlanet

🚨OUT NOW: The #MPAGuide!🚨 The MPA Guide is a science-based tool and framework to identify different types of #MPAs and connect them with the outcomes they are expected to achieve for nature and people. More here👉 https://t.co/jdmnuoAu6G #ForNature

Our expert Helen Klimmek from the Nature Conserved team was part of a panel at #IMPAC5 to talk about the #MPAGuide & how it can be used to achieve global goals for the ocean 🌊🐳 Learn more about how #MPAGuide can help protect marine biodiversity ➡️ https://t.co/aTdsqPrkkf

By using the #MPAGuide Framework, scientists evaluated the top 100 #MPAs and found: 🔴 more than half are not fully protected 🔴 only 1/3 of all areas is fully and highly protected. MPA quality, not only coverage, is needed to ensure #30x30 protection. https://t.co/AQJeDVUM9k

#IMPAC5, please join us Saturday night for an #MPAGuide social! Hors d’oeuvres and 100 drink tickets available. Looking forward to conversations around how we make effective ocean conservation a reality!

Fully and Highly Protected #MPAs provide the greatest conservation benefit to support human wellbeing. The #MPAGuide team urges the #OurOceanPalau hosts and delegates to improve the registry for tracking implementation on #OurOcean Commitments to enable accountability.

DYK? When designed and managed well, marine protected areas (#MPAs) can be a key tool for achieving goals for #biodiversity conservation and human well-being, including improving climate resilience & equitable access to nature. #MPAGuide #30x30 Learn more: https://t.co/eCx9BiLFux

New scientific synthesis published in @ScienceMagazine provides a novel scientific framework to understand, plan, establish, evaluate and monitor ocean protection in Marine Protected Areas (#MPAs) 🌊 🐙 🐚 Find out more 👉🔗 https://t.co/jdmnuoAu6G #MPAGuide #30x30

📢Out now!📢 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/6QNpN88uBf #ForNature #MarineProtectedAreas

While #30x30 will be a landmark step, the focus on only quantity without quality runs the risk of overshadowing much-needed #conservation efforts. The #MPAGuide can help bridge this gap ahead of upcoming critical policy deliberations. https://t.co/NKxrdUyur4 #Biodiversity #BBNJ

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

A healthy #ocean is important not only for biodiversity, but 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: https://t.co/NKxrdUyur4 #SDGs

Terms like “marine reserve” mean different things to different people. Published in @ScienceMagazine, the #MPAGuide ( https://t.co/ArcCUyzf2r) helps navigate these differences. Our #weareoneocean campaign urged world leaders to be driven by science and led by an inclusive process.

The newly published #MPAGuide, co-authored by @Enric_Sala and Alan Friedlander, provides a framework to ensure that marine protected areas achieve their goals. https://t.co/iojAoYyFLn

Ahead of #OurOceanPalau, @WaittInstitute welcomes The #MPAGuide Team on #PlanB for the release of an independent assessment of MPA and other area-based conservation measure commitments made at all to-date #OurOcean Conferences https://t.co/vk3NaBs8W0

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 #OurOceanPalau #MPAGuide
