🚨 NEW PUBLICATION 🚨

Today in @currentbiology.bsky.social, we found that 30 species of #sharks, #rays, and #chimaeras overlap with proposed #deepseamining in Areas Beyond National Jurisdiction #ABNJ - over 60% are already #threatened with #extinction 🦈

Where data are scarce but science is critical
ICES & @fao.org have signed a new agreement to improve deep-sea fish stock assessments in areas beyond national jurisdiction #ABNJ.
This builds on our WKLIFE work & targets species like orange roughy & alfonsino.

EBSAs by classification, jurisdiction, and size. The proportion of EBSAs by EBSA category and jurisdiction (a), or size (b). Black open circles reflect the proportion of EBSA templates that mention enhanced management measures in each category or size class with linear (a) and polynomial (b) black trend lines.

[3/5] Pourtant, la majorité des EBSAs ne bénéficient d’aucune mesure de gestion renforcée. Dans les eaux internationales #BBNJ, seuls 7% des EBSAs incluent une aire protégée. Plus la zone est vaste, dynamique et en #hautemer + elle échappe à une régulation efficace. #geography #ABNJ #marinereserves

Getting the BBNJ Agreement enter into force at the UN Ocean Conference will be an ambitious task: Nichola Clark Two years after countries adopted the Marine Biological Diversity of Areas beyond National Jurisdiction (BBNJ) or the high seas treaty on June 19, 2023, delegat

"This is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to protect the ocean–a major win for biodiversity."

@highseas.bsky.social highlights the #BBNJ Treaty's potential to significantly enhance marine biodiversity protection in #ABNJ and emphasizes the critical next steps for the Treaty. #RaceForRatification
