Science based management is the unique way forward to protect our seas!🪸🐟Spanish Government @gobmapa announced to ban fishing activities on Cabliers reefs! A big step ahead towards our final bet: a definitive transboundary protection of this deep-sea oasis! @ICMCSIC

It was great to participate in #ObjetivoPlaneta with @lorenzomila to advocate for the protection of Cabliers' reefs. A key move for 🇪🇸 would be to protect the portion of the reef within its waters, showing its commitment to 🇲🇦 & 🇩🇿. rtve.es/play/videos/objetivo… @rtvenoticias #Canal24H

How little we know of deep-sea kingdom! A. Sweetman and collaborators discovered polymetallic nodules can produce oxygen in the abyss! A clear hint on how far we are from sustainable dee-sea mining. nature.com/articles/s41561-0…

This week we are in Rome for the #GFCM #WestMed Committee to advocate for the creation of permanent protection of the #Cabliers reefs with the help of @ICMCSIC & Alboran Sea countries 🇪🇺 🇲🇦 🇩🇿 🇪🇸 to boost fisheries sustainability. #VMEs #MedFish4ever

An incredibly rich area of Leiopathes and the densest field of Anthomastus ever observed in the Mediterranean. The near-pristine nature of Cabliers FRA never stops surprising! @ICMCSIC @CSICdivulga @UN_FAO_GFCM @OceanaEurope @_EMEPC_ #marine #biodiversity #coral #reefs

We are mapping the Cabliers vertical walls for 3D reconstructions of the associated VMEs in this new FRA. The more we know, the better we protect! 🎯🦐🐟 @ICMCSIC @UN_FAO_GFCM @CSIC @_EMEPC_ @OceanaEurope

This is how this 400,000 year-old coral mound looks like - a biodiversity hospot that provides shelter and food to deep-sea wildlife! xitter.cf/Cabliers_Reefs/status/…
🐟🪸 what a reef! In PROTEUS cruise of @ICMCSIC we gathered among the best scientists on deep-ecology for supporting protection procedures! @OceanaEurope @UN_FAO_GFCM @__emepec__ @niozsearesearch

Oceana is calling to create a Fisheries Restricted Area in Cabliers, a seamount in the Alboran Sea that harbours semi-pristine cold-water corals. @UN_FAO_GFCM agreed to ban bottom fishing in November 2023, and @ICMCSIC is now researching the area.
