🌍 Marine megafauna don’t recognise jurisdictional borders. They can move across borders and also through the high seas, where governance is mostly inexistent. That’s why global alignment through the High Seas Treaty and UNCLOS is crucial @UNOceanDecade

🚢 Marine megafauna are struck by ships, stressed by noise or caught as bycatch. These threats can be deadly but can be mitigated using: ✅ Vessel-animal separation zones ✅ Lower speed limits ✅ More sustainable fishing practices ✅ Evidence-driven design of protection areas

Whales and dolphins rely on sound for their daily activities but human-derived noise is affecting their behaviour. Although invisible, noise pollution is everywhere. Implementing actions to mitigate this threat is needed, such as reducing vessel noise @scienceANU @UNOceanDecade
