🏆Congrats @_pandannie - Winner of the CMS showcase student poster prize!
Anne is asking for experts to share their experiences in the #CCAMLR#MPA planning space, to understand how features of the MPA planning process have contributed to certain outcomes, problems & solutions.
Research from @UTAS_ concludes that adaptability is crucial for establishing #MPAs in the #SouthernOcean.
#MPAs are an effective tool to reduce threats to Antarctic marine biodiversity, which is already experiencing the pressures of #ClimateChange. https://t.co/2Wy0GgFfex
Our research in @naturesustainab finds that #CCAMLR#MPAs protect many conservation features, & a representative #SouthernOcean#MPA network can be achieved under the current planning approach given the political will to adapt exisiting & proposed #MPAs
📢New paper📢on benefits & risks of incremental #ProtectedArea planning in the #SouthernOcean. Led by @_pandannie with Vanessa Adams & Nicole Hill from UTAS & me as co-authors. 1st paper from PhD published in @naturesustainab! Amazing! Go Anne! https://t.co/iy2vt4bRgv
🎶Awake earlier than the birds this morning to talk about planning for Southern Ocean #marineprotection & listen to fascinating talks at the @AntICON_SCAR#SCAR2022 ‘Rethinking Antarctic environments & conservation’ session 🌊
🙏🏽 thanks to all involved 🤍
