As #COP30 calls for stronger global action on emissions, what happens at sea can’t be ignored.
Industrial vessels emitted 1.3B tons of CO₂ in 2023, ~3% of global fossil fuel emissions. Transparency at sea is key to climate accountability.

Why do some say marine protected areas are just “paper parks”? And are industrial fishers actually staying out of these no-fishing zones?
New in @ScienceMagazine: We used AI + satellite radar to find out. doi.org/10.1126/science.adt9…

Marine protected areas can protect fish and maintain healthy ecosystems. As demonstrated by two related papers in this issue, however, such areas are only effective against illegal fishing when established limitations are enforced.

Using artificial intelligence methods applied to satellite data, #UWMadison researchers have found that the world’s most strongly protected marine protected areas had little-to-no industrial fishing activity.

As part of our ongoing work to shine a light on all industrial activity at sea, we have—for the first time ever—mapped and estimated the emissions of all industrial vessels operating in the ocean.
See what we uncovered with our @emLabUCSB and @ClimateTRACE partners. [bit.ly/41TQ0NT]

In 2022, the world committed @CBD_COP15 to protecting 30% of global ecosystems by 2030. Now, a team of researchers @emLabUCSB have completed a study on how a conservation market can help realize this ambitious 30x30 goal. Read their blog for IGCC here: bit.ly/3YqaKfQ

🌎 Earth is facing a biodiversity crisis fueled by human activity.
👥 Harnessing #GlobalFishingWatch data, our research partners @emLabUCSB unearth key findings in a study assessing how the global fishing effort responds to #MPAs.

🌊🐟 Expanding marine protected areas reduces fishing globally, not just in reserves. A surprising finding by researchers at @emLabUCSB challenges assumptions about ocean conservation. #MarineScience ow.ly/awSM50SBH6L
emLab UC Santa Barbara retweeted
Using six years of @GlobalFishWatch data, our research partners at @emlab studied how fishing responds to large MPAs. They found that establishing new MPAs could decrease fishing outside MPAs as well as inside. @PNASNews pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.24…

Three #UCSB researchers offer a market-based approach to achieve the @UN's planet conservation targets in the ocean. Their system allows countries to trade conservation credits, which could reduce costs and incentivize nations to meet their goals. 🐠

Nations have been tasked with conserving 30% of land and sea by the year 2030—but only modest progress has been made.
A new #SciencePolicyForum proposes an alternative approach within the existing framework: a market that trades marine conservation. scim.ag/7mG
