NEW PAPER: Global tracking #MarineMegafauna shows <8% of areas used overlap w/ existing MPAs, while >75% of important areas overlapped by threats like #fishing #shipping & ocean warming - 30x30 goal insufficient for their conservation @MegaMove_Org science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…
Antarctic Marine Protected Areas: EU-Japan Summit 2025 reconfirms [edit] “commitment under…CCAMLR to adopt, as a matter of urgency, proposals to designate MPAs in E. Antarctica, Weddell Sea, and W. Antarctic Peninsula, based on the best available science” miragenews.com/eu-japan-summi…
📢 New study by #OceanDecade Action @MegaMove_Org found that: 🦈 Marine megafauna spends 90% of their time in areas identified as "Important Marine Megafauna Areas" 🚨But only 5% of these areas currently fall within marine protected areas Read more: ow.ly/VOqM50Wuupt

It has been 14 years since rinderpest was eradicated — only the second disease in history, after smallpox, to be eradicated globally. A landmark in animal health, made possible by global collaboration. Let’s keep building a healthier, more resilient future!
The World Organisation for Animal Health (WOAH) and rinderpest have been intimately linked since the establishment of the OIE in Paris in 1924 until the eradication of the disease in 2011. The global eradication of rinderpest, proclaimed in 2011, was a major milestone. The fight…
Antarctic Bottom Water (AABW) plays a critical role in global ocean circulation and regulating climate by storing heat and carbon. Important new insight into how the resolution of ocean-sea ice models impacts the simulation of AABW, improving accuracy ⬇️ agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/20…
During recent Antarctic expeditions, scientists examined seafloor features carved by glaciers & revealed glimpses of the intricate ecosystems living at the interface between ice & sea. Penguins, footage & wonder filmed by @alexinglephoto #SouthSandwichIslands, 2025.

📢A MegaMove milestone has just been published in @ScienceMagazine! With ~380 collaborators from 50 countries, we mapped the movements of 12k+ marine megafauna to identify key habitats 🌊🐋🦈 @pewenvironment @MegaMove_Org @EcoEvo_ANU @uwaoceans sequeiralab.com/news/megamove-…
Contributions from 380 collaborating scientists from across the world to bring you these important findings. Here is a map of the total number of 12,794 individual track locations in the global dataset at 1° resolution showing the global coverage of 71.7% of the global ocean.
Global tracking of marine megafauna space use reveals how to achieve conservation targets | Science latest very important paper from our @MegaMove_Org - we need a dynamic approach to marine conservation - kudos to our leader @AnaMMSequeira science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…
Out today in Nature, our new paper on the drivers of the extreme summertime heating of the North Atlantic during 2023. Temperatures across much of the basin warmed to record high levels in the space of just a few months. The impacts on climate and ecosystems were severe. A thread…
