*PAPER ALERT* As the world races towards #30x30 targets, equity must be considered at the forefront of ocean governance & management or risk further marginalizing the world's most vulnerable.

As the world races to conserve 30% of the ocean by 2030, equity must be considered, says a group of scientists including from WCS in a new paper.
Failure to do so could result in further displacement and marginalization of the most vulnerable.

From @wcs_png - a look at what recently announced MPA’s can do to help the oceans most endangered species + how can we replicate this approach globally by thinking of the needs of sharks & rays + people that depend on them when designing protected areas: medium.com/wcs-marine-conser…

Lots of announcements at #COP28 in Dubai. This one should not get lost in the mix; a massive new lifeline for people and nature.
Thank you to Pacific Islands State Leaders and to the @BezosEarthFund for this planet-saving initiative #30x30
A massive win for our ocean at COP28! Pacific Island Leaders launched the largest ever conservation effort. The @BezosEarthFund will provide up to $100M to help bring this dream to reality. Dive into the details → bit.ly/3R7wjwv.
