It depends. MPAs may be very beneficial in some areas, or not, depending on the pressure level before and after, the MPA characteristics, the status of the fished populations, your measure of what is "beneficial", your practical concept of biodiversity...
Close-up of a pile of small pelagic fish with a call for papers on changes in forage communities by the Canadian Journal of Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences.
Small pelagic fish make up more than 30% of the global fisheries catch. A new collection in @cjfas.bsky.social explores their role in food webs, ecosystems, and sustainable management. Submit your research ▶️ buff.ly/01yih9h

Does this modernization include climate change-related data? Or is your President tuning what has to be modernized?
First, this is not true. Many artisanal fisheries have little bycatch. Second, being vegan is a luxury for the rich. Obtaining the necessary nutrients for many coastal communities depends critically on eating fish. Third, improving fishing practices has proven to reduce bycatch.
I mean...we know we (don't) know this for literally over a century.
If only countries would stop fishing in waters that aren’t theirs...

Again the fallacy of the 2048 collapse? Come on, that has already proved wrong
For the sustainability of the Balearic Islands, go for a #6dayairport !!!. Only by reducing the total human pressure we'll make a noticeable difference.
Digital oceans=OK. Digital twin=please stop using this term. Everybody's got nuts. That does NOT and will NEVER exist for a complex system such as the ocean.
I can only think of one effective solution for the excess tourism in Mallorca. Close the airstrip one day in the week (and all nights). Full stop. And then, wait and see. Any politician brave enough out there?

The Trump admin aims to zero out funding for NOAA’s 16 cooperative institutes, which study everything from extreme weather to fisheries to toxic algae. I spent last week talking with folks about the losses — & potential threats — to society if these institutes close. www.eenews.net/articles/tru...
