Our MPA research is highlighted by Inside Climate News! Only a third of the largest MPAs protect marine life, many allow harmful activities. Crucial findings as we aim to conserve 30% of the ocean by 2030.

🚨Paper Alert🚨

🧐Assessing 90% of reported 🌏global #MPA coverage, we show:

🪄1/4 is not implemented (only declared) 📣

🚫1/3 not compatible with #biodiversity #conservation 🐟

➡️We need accountability for MPA quality, not only quantity.
