🌊Europe has a unique chance to protect the ocean.
The #OceanAct must not only coordinate but deliver: fix implementation gaps, #EndBottomTrawling in MPAs, stop #PaperParks, protect 30% of EU seas (10% strictly), and put coastal communities first.

❌The EU is failing to meet its #30x30 target, with 10% under strict protection.
The EU #OceanAct must turn voluntary targets into legally binding ones to ensure action, accountability, and not allow marine #paperparks in the EU!
Una ardilla podría ir en #CyL de mirador en mirador y no bajar nunca al suelo, gracias al @jcyl @PPopularCyL @consejeromavcyl que solo se preocupa de malgastar el dinero público, construyendo miradores en Espacios Naturales Recreativos, perdón, Protegidos #PaperParks @EFEnoticias
Spain’s marine protected areas look safe on paper, but bottom trawling is still allowed in many of them.
Without proper management plans & real enforcement, these are just #PaperParks.
It’s time to stop destructive fishing in MPAs.
#UNOC3 #ProtectedMeansProtected
The science is clear: Bottom trawling destroys marine habitats, making most EU marine protected areas mere #PaperParks.
We call on the EU to:
🔴#BanBottomTrawling in MPAs
🟢Enforce nature laws
🔵Put forward new rules to ensure #ProtectedMeansProtected
👏Oceana applauds Spain’s ratification of the #HighSeasTreaty!!
Protecting high sea ecosystems is critical for vulnerable wildlife & habitats, yet effective global ocean protection will only be achieved if countries ensure that marine protected areas are enforced ➡️NO #PaperParks
España 🇪🇸 ratifica el Tratado Global de los Océanos
🔵 Se ha depositado hoy en la sede de Naciones Unidas, en Nueva York
►► Somos el primer país de Europa en ratificarlo
Asumimos el compromiso de declarar área protegida un 30% de la superficie de alta mar antes de 2030 🌊
Misleading claims from @ScotGovMarine about Scotland'd #MPA network
The majority of these #MPAs are #paperparks with no real protection in place
📹 @PapayRanger #CoastalTestimonies
Our MPA network now covers over 37% of Scotland’s seas, exceeding global targets.
We are also seeing improvements in those MPAs where management measures are in place for some of our most vulnerable marine features.
#marineprotection #marineenvironment
#MarineProtectedAreas are essential to protect &restore vulnerable marine ecosystems. Yet, Spain has allowed #BottomTrawling in #MPAs for decades.
We're filing a lawsuit in 🇪🇸's high court as a last resort to make sure MPAs stop being #PaperParks.

#EPlenary debate on #Ocean: @jwojc opens the debate recognising the issue of marine #paperparks in Europe and the need to enforce existing legislation (w/ #MarineActionPlan). Confirms ambition of the EC to deliver effectively managed MPAs for coastal communities!
Ziemlich vernichtende Analyse für #Vogelschutz + #Naturschutz in D. Unser Netz aus Vogelschutzgebieten funktioniert nicht ausreichend.
Die Probleme sind übrigens auch bekannt: zu wenige, zu kleine Schutzgebiete, in denen der Schutz kaum umgesetzt wird. #PaperParks
‼️ For over 10 years, many of Scotland's Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) have been just lines on a map, #paperparks without actual protection.
The Scottish Government's latest proposals for offshore, deep-sea MPAs may finally address this, but we need to see a similar commitment to protecting our coastal seas.

Sadly many of these so-called Marine Protected Areas exist on paper only #paperparks - Read more about what paper parks are and means for MPAs here: https://t.co/s8ND0oBJIU
Scotland’s network of Marine Protected Areas consists of 247 sites, with 233 for conservation purposes, providing protection to 37% of our seas. Scotland is providing a significant contribution to international targets of reaching 30% global ocean protection by 2030. #MPADay🧵👇
📢💦Science is clear, again.
New #STOA #EP study exploring much-needed alternatives to Mobile Bottom Contacting Gears (MBCG) such as bottom trawling.👉https://t.co/Amu0vaQoP8
Excluding damaging fishing gears from #MPAs is a MUST, NOW #banbottomtrawling #Natura2000 #paperparks
New Research Finds Most of the World’s Largest Marine Protected Areas Have Inadequate Protections #30x30 #MPAs #PaperParks
👉https://t.co/JnvjkMzC6F
Almost two-thirds of those polled thought that bottom-trawling and scallop dredging was already banned inside MPAs - sadly many supposedly 'protected areas' are actually #paperparks - areas where important biodiversity has been identified, but where no real protection is in place https://t.co/g5xA3LhZRA
#Paperparks at sea may make governments look good, but no one should be fooled. These areas are not protected. We must embrace the spirit and promise of #30x30 by establishing agreed-upon minimum criteria that also #BanBottomTrawling, says our @JackieSavitz
"What a gift we have in our oceans. It would be a shame to celebrate protecting a third of it while we are in fact letting much of it be swept away under the crushing weight of voracious trawls." https://t.co/iQ8IzAJ9yt

En Irlanda declaran un nuevo Parque Nacional y el ministro tranquiliza a pescadores y ganaderos asegurando que nada va a cambiar, sólo que atraerá turistas. Otro parque de papel.
Esas cosas no pasan en los espacios protegidos en Asturias ¿o sí?
#paperparks
If you don't believe me, just listen to minister @kodonnellLK assure farmers and fishers that absolutely nothing will change arising from today's announcement, while struggling to tell the interviewer what difference it make other than attracting tourists

Seemingly the EU isn't on track to #30x30.
What if even the weatlhiest/most developed nations don't live up to their committments? Can we deliver on global targets?
(and the effective management EU #MPA is an entire new challenge as well - #paperparks)

Cool infographic on #MPAs🌊from the @Economist_WOI
Yet the EU 🇪🇺 is conspicuous by its absence on high/full marine protection
The #MarineActionPlan is on point, as most EU MPAs are offer little protection #paperparks @VSinkevicius
👉https://t.co/TsxtbUSKuq
#OceanSummit #30x30
One year on from the launch of the 🇪🇺 #MarineActionPlan, many #MarineProtectedAreas in Europe are still #paperparks with destructive fishing occurring inside them. By March, will EU countries’ roadmaps finally #BanBottomTrawling?
@EU_Commission @VSinkevicius must ensure ambition
