Además de ser el hogar del 40 % de la población española, la costa es un territorio de gran valor ecológico y sometido a múltiples presiones.

La #OficinaC del @Congreso_Es ha presentado un informe sobre gestión sostenible de las zonas costeras.

The 🇪🇸 Council of Ministers has approved the proposal to declare a National Park in #ElHierro!

We are one step closer to seeing the 1st exclusively marine park in Southern Europe.

Oceana has extensively documented its coastal & deep waters, uncovering unique marine habitats🐠

[Noelia Hernández @OceanNoe]

I just finished an expedition where I conducted environmental DNA research to study marine biodiversity along the Spanish coast. This project will contribute to marine conservation. Thanks to @lindbladexp and @insidenatgeo, it would not have been possible without their support.

Bottom trawlers are allowed to destructively fish in marine protected areas in Spain, putting loggerhead turtles & other marine species at risk. This practice needs to stop in protected waters.

33 years ago, today, Cabrera Archipelago in the Spanish Mediterranean was designated as a #NationalPark. This biodiversity hotspot still lacks adequate protection and management. It is urgent to ban all industrial activities from this natural paradise and establish no-take zones.

🍾📢 GOOD NEWS KLAXON! Greece announces ban on destructive bottom trawling in marine protected areas 👏👏👏

Happening at @OurOceanGreece.
The lack of transparency in the fisheries sector needs to stop! EU governments must act against citizens and companies benefiting from illegal fishing by unveiling the true identity of vessels' owners #OurOceanGreece #OurOcean2024 🌊

[Enric Sala @Enric_Sala]

A new study by Dr. Mark John Costello demonstrates that both fishing and tourism benefit from marine protected areas – a final blow to the argument that conservation is costly and harms fishing. https://t.co/4q2cpxylxM

[Oceana in Europe @OceanaEurope]

🪸 In Spain more than half of the marine protected areas are not properly protected. This is because bottom trawling and other forms of destructive fishing are allowed inside them. Ministers @LuisPlanas and @Teresaribera: #BanBottomTrawling in these biodiversity hotspots.

[Oceana in Europe @OceanaEurope]

@Teresaribera Muchas gracias por el gran trabajo que lleváis a cabo desde @mitecogob.

Es importante que tanto esfuerzo no caiga en saco roto y podáis designar estas siete #AMP cuanto antes, la ciencia os avala. Ante un posible cambio de Gobierno sería un legado indiscutible @Moran_Fernandez.

Orgullo de que en @osaconservation tengamos la oportunidad de trabajar con comunidades tan involucradas en ecoturismo y quieran preservar la naturaleza como Rancho Quemado!

[Osa Conservation @osaconservation]

The amazing work happening in Rancho Quemado, #CostaRica, is an example to #rural communities around the #world. #OsaConservation is proud to support the #conservation efforts of this visionary #community as they invest in #ecotourism and #InvestInNature.

[Noelia Hernández @OceanNoe]

Mujeres como Yolanda y la comunidad de Rancho Quemado son un ejemplo a seguir para todo el mundo! De antiguos cazadores a comunidad involucrada con la conservación de los recursos de la zona!

Camera traps in Costa Rica are saving the jungle & supporting local communities! Camera trapping helps the community to exist in harmony with a thriving ecosystem🌍by recording animals & monitoring the health of the jungle, camera traps also increase local income from tourism🙌

[National Geographic Pristine Seas @NG_PristineSeas]

Today our founder @enric_sala published his latest book: The #NatureofNature. We’re excited to read what Enric calls his love letter to the planet and why now is the moment to protect our natural world for future generations. Congratulations, Enric! #100andChange @macfound

In the midst of unprecedented crises, Trump has decided to eliminate nearly 85% of marine protected areas in the continental US, leaving less than 0.1% with permanent protections #MonumentsForAll
