Happy #MPADay! Did you know? Over seventy percent of Earth’s surface is covered by water. It’s where life began - and even now, where most of life’s diversity lives. So the @NRF_SAIAB aquatic biobank has kind of an important job. Here's how they do it.

Not all heroes wear wetsuits.
Sometimes, protection looks like policy.
It looks like care.
It looks like a coastline left untouched.
That’s the power of an #MPA.

Today on #MPADay, we’re highlighting #Antarctica, a remote region home to penguins, whales, krill, and seals. It’s vital to our climate, but under threat from #climatechange, fishing, and human pressure. It’s time for #CCAMLR to create #MPAs and protect Earth’s blue heart. 💙

🌊 On #MPADay, let's remember that most EU MPAs still allow destructive fishing like #BottomTrawling. Real protection means banning harmful practices and ensuring our marine ecosystems can thrive. 🌍🐠 #ProtectedMeansProtected
