OSPAR Ministerial 2021 - Les ministres saisissent l'occasion d'une décennie pour parvenir à un Atlantique Nord-Est plus sain

OSPAR Ministerial 2021 - Les ministres saisissent l'occasion d'une décennie pour parvenir à un Atlantique Nord-Est plus sain | Biodiversité | Scoop.it

Les ministres de l'Atlantique du Nord-Est se sont réunis pour renouveler et étendre leurs engagements en faveur de la protection et de la conservation de l'Atlantique du Nord-Est et de ses ressources.

Les 15 pays représentés à la réunion sont tous signataires de la convention OSPAR, ainsi que l'Union européenne. La réunion a désigné une nouvelle aire marine protégée (AMP) en haute mer pour la protection des oiseaux de mer plus grande que la masse terrestre du Royaume-Uni et de l'Allemagne réunis. Une nouvelle Stratégie pour le milieu marin de l’Atlantique du Nord-est a également été adoptée.

Losing ground in protected areas ? Science

Losing ground in protected areas ? Science | Biodiversité | Scoop.it

After 30 years of rapid growth in terrestrial protected areas, especially in the biodiverse tropics, expansion has slowed despite the ongoing mass extinction of species. Indeed, on page 881 of this issue, Kroner et al. (1) report that in some regions, the area that is protected is declining. They document examples of protected areas that have been made smaller or degazetted entirely, including in the United States and the Amazon.

These islands just proposed creating the biggest marine reserve on Earth

These islands just proposed creating the biggest marine reserve on Earth | Biodiversité | Scoop.it

A new proposal could result in the creation of the largest protected natural area on Earth. Inhabitants of the Austral Islands — the southernmost islands in French Polynesia in the South Pacific — have just presented a proposal to the government of French Polynesia calling for a new marine reserve in their waters. The protected area, which is pending final approval from the government, would span 1 million square kilometers, or more than 380,000 square miles, an area the size of Texas and Nevada combined.

FACT SHEET: President Obama to Designate Largest Marine Monument in the World Off-Limits to Development | The White House

FACT SHEET: President Obama to Designate Largest Marine Monument in the World Off-Limits to Development | The White House | Biodiversité | Scoop.it

As part of this Year of Action, President Obama will sign a proclamation tomorrow to designate the largest marine reserve in the world that is completely off limits to commercial resource extraction including commercial fishing. The proclamation expands the existing Pacific Remote Islands Marine National Monument, one of the most pristine tropical marine environments in the world, to six times its current size, resulting in 370,000 square nautical miles (490,000 square miles) of protected area around these tropical islands and atolls in the south-central Pacific Ocean.

Cette décision étend l'existante Pacific Remote Islands National Marine Monument pour en faire la plus grande aire marine protégée au monde.

L'Office français de la biodiversité annonce un partenariat international pour promouvoir les aires marines

L'Office français de la biodiversité annonce un partenariat international pour promouvoir les aires marines | Biodiversité | Scoop.it

Les aires marines protégées ont un rôle à jouer dans la lutte contre le réchauffement climatique. C'est ce que soutiennent la France, le Chili, le Costa Rica, le Royaume-Uni et les Etats-Unis. Le 2 juin dernier, l'Office français de la biodiversité a annoncé un partenariat international entre les agences de protection du milieu marin de ces cinq pays. Le but ? Promouvoir les aires marines protégées comme des outils de lutte contre le changement climatique auprès des dirigeants mondiaux. Il s'agit de l'international partnership on MPAs, biodiversity and climate change.

Adaptive Management of Marine Protected Areas: Predicting Responses to MPA Implementation for Comparison to Monitoring Data 

Adaptive Management of Marine Protected Areas: Predicting Responses to MPA Implementation for Comparison to Monitoring Data  | Biodiversité | Scoop.it
In 1999 California passed the Marine Life Protection Act (MLPA) mandating an expansion of California’s few marine protected areas into a network of marine protected areas along the California coast. In 2005 California began a decision -­‐ making process to implement this act, and that process was completed in 2013. One of the tools used by dec ision -­‐ makers and stakeholders in that process was the use of mathematical models to project the effects of various proposed spatial configurations of MPAs in terms of their long -­‐ term effects on fishery yield and population biomass of various species of fis h. Because of the initial nascent nature of this kind of modeling, the ability to make these projections developed as the process proceeded (Botsford, et al. 2014).

The president has now used his executive authority under the 1906 Antiquities Act to protect more than 548 million acres of federal land and water, more than double the set-asides of any of his predecessors.A biologically rich national marine monument grows to more than half a million square miles.

U.S. and Cuba to cooperate on conservation and management of marine protected areas

Today, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the National Park Service (NPS) signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Cuba’s Ministry of Science, Technology, and Environment (CITMA). The MOU aims to facilitate joint efforts concerning science, stewardship, and management related to Marine Protected Areas (MPAs). The MOU also includes a sister MPA program to foster conservation and understanding of natural marine resources in both countries, sharing technical and scientific data, and promoting education and outreach initiatives.
