"Give children a chance to love nature before we ask them to save it. Let them experience nature, play and enjoy it."
Wise advice from @eduoceans, founding member of the #MPADay Alliance.

Yesterday, WIOMPAN successfully hosted an engaging symposium at the #IMCC7 in Cape Town, South Africa, focusing on achieving the 30x30 target in the Western Indian Ocean.
The sessions highlighted significant progress, barriers, and opportunities related to MPAs and OECMs. 🌍
Looking forward to reading this. Thank you for sharing. #IMCC7
For @IMCC2024 peeps at the plenary this morning, this *new* paper on integrating #Oceanliteracy with #marineconservation might be of interest.

I really enjoyed (secretly relieved the anxiety is over) presenting today at #IMCC7.
I spoke about some fisher led science programmes on St Helena and provided some data on tuna tagging projects. All linking in with empowering the local community to help protect their MPA! – at Cape Town, South Africa

I love that the @UNOceanDecade has made this video about our #MarineIdentity research!
@ExeterMarine #MarSocSci #MarineCitizenship
What's your marine identity?
New research led by @UniofExeter and endorsed by the #OceanDecade defines marine identity—people's deep connection with the ocean—for the first time, and finds that understanding these identities can help restore the ocean.

The day started with the #IMCC7 opening plenary presented by Dr. Judy Mann-Lang, where she began by sharing:
"To care for the ocean, we need to care about people. For many years, we have turned our backs on the people and faced the ocean"
Judy Mann-Lang retweeted
@eduoceans encourages us to "roll back the blue blanket" and to use our knowledge to make the unknown of the ocean more visible. We need to remember that we are in an ocean bubble and we need to build from the familiar to the unfamiliar
