Science based management is the unique way forward to protect our seas!๐ชธ๐Spanish Government @gobmapa announced to ban fishing activities on Cabliers reefs! A big step ahead towards our final bet: a definitive transboundary protection of this deep-sea oasis! @ICMCSIC
It was great to participate in #ObjetivoPlaneta with @lorenzomila to advocate for the protection of Cabliers' reefs. A key move for ๐ช๐ธ would be to protect the portion of the reef within its waters, showing its commitment to ๐ฒ๐ฆ & ๐ฉ๐ฟ.

How little we know of deep-sea kingdom! A. Sweetman and collaborators discovered polymetallic nodules can produce oxygen in the abyss! A clear hint on how far we are from sustainable dee-sea mining. https://t.co/t6lt3D62Ws
This week we are in Rome for the #GFCM#WestMed Committee to advocate for the creation of permanent protection of the #Cabliers reefs with the help of @ICMCSIC & Alboran Sea countries ๐ช๐บ ๐ฒ๐ฆ ๐ฉ๐ฟ ๐ช๐ธ to boost fisheries sustainability.

We are mapping the Cabliers vertical walls for 3D reconstructions of the associated VMEs in this new FRA. The more we know, the better we protect! ๐ฏ๐ฆ๐ @ICMCSIC@UN_FAO_GFCM@CSIC@_EMEPC_@OceanaEurope
@UN_FAO_GFCM@ICMCSIC@Cabliers_Reefs This is how this 400,000 year-old coral mound looks like - a biodiversity hospot that provides shelter and food to deep-sea wildlife!

Oceana is calling to create a Fisheries Restricted Area in Cabliers, a seamount in the Alboran Sea that harbours semi-pristine cold-water corals.
@UN_FAO_GFCM agreed to ban bottom fishing in November 2023, and @ICMCSIC is now researching the area.
๐๐ชธ what a reef! In PROTEUS cruise of @ICMCSIC we gathered among the best scientists on deep-ecology for supporting protection procedures! @OceanaEurope@UN_FAO_GFCM @__emepec__ @niozsearesearch
In the international PROTEUS cruise, the EMEPC superb guys are assisting us with ROV Luso on Cabliers and Catifas thriving reefs! Stay tuned for mindblowing dives ahead! ๐ชธ๐๐ฆ

โ ๏ธHere we come again!
Everythingโs set for the PROTEUS Cruise, where we'll explore the thriving reefs of Cabliers and Catifas for a month๐ชธ, aboard R/V Sarmiento de Gamboa! Hours of ROV dives, CTD casts and seafloor mapping are waiting for us! #ProteusExpedition#ProtectCabliers
We are excited to share #OceanWatch, a new 40-minute film with mesmerizing #DeepSea footage from the ground-breaking discoveries on Research Vessel #FalkorToo in 2023. Made with the always amazing @naturalwfacts.
