BREAKING NEWS / BIG OCEAN WIN! 🌊✨ The government of the #Azores just created the largest network of marine protected areas in the North Atlantic, covering a staggering 300,000 square kilometers! This bold move brings 30% of the archipelago’s waters to “high” or “full” protection, helping safeguard marine life and vital ecosystems for generations to come — from deep-sea hydrothermal vents to towering seamounts thousands of meters high. The Azores is setting a powerful example for ocean conservation around the world as part of COP16 Colombia, the United Nations Convention on Biological Diversity currently underway in Cali, #Colombia. You can keep the momentum going — urge more world leaders to follow suit and protect 30% of their ocean before 2030 by clicking https://only.one/act/30x30

Azores Makes History by Creating North Atlantic Ocean’s Largest Marine Protected Area Network! The Autonomous Region of the #Azores has enacted pioneering legislation that establishes the largest network of Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) in the North Atlantic. 🦈 🐋 This landmark decision protects 287,000 square kilometres of ocean surrounding the archipelago, with half of this area fully protected. It marks a major achievement in global marine conservation. The legislative proposal was the result of a collaborative process led by the Azores Government, supported by the Blue Azores Program—a partnership between the Regional Government of the Azores, Oceano Azul Foundation, and the Waitt Institute. This success is the culmination of years of dedicated scientific research, advocacy, and collaboration. A comprehensive participatory process involved over 40 meetings with representatives from diverse sectors, including the fishing industry, maritime transport, tourism operators, and environmental NGOs. Their expertise, commitment, and cooperation were vital in co-creating this MPA network. This decision brings #Portugal closer to the global goal of protecting 30% of the ocean by 2030. Congratulations to the Legislative Assembly of the Autonomous Region of the Azores and to all the people of the Azores! https://lnkd.in/dXJzChaG #MarineProtectedArea #MPA #AALighthouse Luis Bernardo Brito e Abreu
