Happy to be a #laCaixaFoundation Fellow @lacaixa.bsky.social for the second time! After 15 years since I left Catalonia! Ten years ago La Caixa supported my PhD, which took me on an exciting journey around the world. Now, you bring me back home to @icmcsic.bsky.social. Thank you, thank you!

New review on OECMs by @dpetza.bsky.social et al, emphasising the need for standardised assessment methods, improved decision-support tools, and socio-cultural integration to enhance OECM recognition under the 30 × 30 conservation target link.springer.com/article/10.1... @skatsanevakis.bsky.social

Diagram representing the frequency in the combination of i) conservation objectives of the potential OECMs, ii) the OECMs sector and iii) the realm. We see that most potential OECMs have conservation as a primary objective and come from the environmental sector. More than half of the potential OECMs refer to terrestrial ecosystems.

I love Mexico's Kelp forests, because in them, there is an amazing community of fishers, NGOs, academics, & people. They are tough but kind, threatened but resilient. Just like the Baja California dessert, a magic underwater forest exists where collaboration is key for adaptation. Thank you again!

Marine heat wave confirmed cause of death for 4 million birds (Common Murres) in 2016. Half of Alaska’s Common Murre population at the time. Largest documented animal die-off in modern history. As little as 2C temp increase drastically their altered food chain. 🧪🌎🦉 www.science.org/content/arti...

First post! New Letter. Kelp forests support biodiversity & livelihoods along 30% of the coasts. However, ~3% are fully protected despite being highly threatened. We call for nations to protect 30% of their kelp by 2030. @hugepossum.bsky.social @uq-cbcs.bsky.social science.org/doi/10.1126/...
