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

[Jane Lubchenco @JaneLubchenco46]

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

[OneOcean @OceanFlotilla]

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

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

[OneOcean @OceanFlotilla]

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

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

[Oceano Azul Foundation @OceanoAzulF]

The #MPAGuide was published today in @ScienceMagazine with the participation of Oceano Azul. A Framework to Achieve Global Goals for the Ocean is the result of 10 years of investigation from 42 scientists across 38 institutions and 6 continents. https://t.co/kG5hyOz9dq

🚨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.

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

[WCS Ocean @WCSocean]

As part of @BloombergDotOrg's #VibrantOceans Initiative, @TheWCS is a proud partner on the #MPAGuide 🌊

The Guide will inform critical upcoming @UNBiodiversity policy deliberations, and will be a critical tool to help us protect our oceans in the face of #climatechange

[WCS Ocean @WCSocean]

📣 The #MPAGuide is here!

‘The MPA Guide: A Framework to Achieve Global Goals for the Ocean’ is truly a shared solution: authored by 43 marine & social scientists across 6 continents, with input from many hundreds of stakeholders from around the world https://t.co/Kw8uSzZtVd

[Vanessa Constant, PhD @_vconstant]

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 https://t.co/roBPA2k04W

[Pew Environment @pewenvironment]

The new #MPAGuide uses @ScienceMagazine research to provide a science-driven, policy-relevant structure to assess #MPAs and their outcomes for nature and people

[National Ocean Protection Coalition (NOPC) @OceanCoalition]

The #MPAGuide is here. This is an amazing resource for how to protect our ocean, biodiversity and the humans who depend on it.

[CAP Ocean 🌅 @OceanProgress]

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 https://t.co/MHrw0ZzSga
