🌊Europe has a unique chance to protect the ocean.
The #OceanAct must not only coordinate but deliver: fix implementation gaps, #EndBottomTrawling in MPAs, stop #PaperParks, protect 30% of EU seas (10% strictly), and put coastal communities first.

❌The EU is failing to meet its #30x30 target, with 10% under strict protection.
The EU #OceanAct must turn voluntary targets into legally binding ones to ensure action, accountability, and not allow marine #paperparks in the EU!
The U.S. government is abdicating its responsibility to manage protected lands and waters. @hannahnatanson.bsky.social of @washingtonpost.com reports on the aftermath...

Spain’s marine protected areas look safe on paper, but bottom trawling is still allowed in many of them.
Without proper management plans & real enforcement, these are just #PaperParks.
It’s time to stop destructive fishing in MPAs.

The science is clear: Bottom trawling destroys marine habitats, making most EU marine protected areas mere #PaperParks.
We call on the EU to:
🔴#BanBottomTrawling in MPAs
🟢Enforce nature laws
🔵Put forward new rules to ensure #ProtectedMeansProtected

👏Oceana applauds Spain’s ratification of the #HighSeasTreaty!!
Protecting high sea ecosystems is critical for vulnerable wildlife & habitats, yet effective global ocean protection will only be achieved if countries ensure that marine protected areas are enforced ➡️NO #PaperParks
The “Paper Parks” Phenomenon: In some regions, like Africa and South America, the establishment of Protected Areas has ironically led to MORE habitat loss. Quantity ≠ Quality in conservation. #PaperParks #Africa #SouthAmerica
7/9 I suspect that if we reach #30by30 in 🇨🇭 (& likely elsewhere), it will only be through such 'labelling' of certain landscapes as protected areas, without changes in management.
This means biodiversity loss will continue while biodiversity goals are reached.

🇬🇧 #PaperParks - this is why the campaign for 30% protected areas by 2030 (30 by 30) is a big distraction from measures that would actually address the #biodiversity crisis
