Marine Protected Areas and Other Effective Conservation Measures

taking stock and looking ahead

Welcome to the 3rd episode of the 3rd season of Ocean InSight: Marine Protected Areas and Other Effective Conservation Measures: taking stock and looking ahead

Our third episode of season three discusses what effective protection can and should mean in times of climate change and rapidly developing ocean economies. The Kunming-Montreal Framework for Biodiversity Protection has been celebrated for its ambitious goals, but how can these goals be translated into practice? What are examples of successful MPAs or Other Effective Conservation Measures, and how can challenges be overcome to ensure a coherent approach to protection across geographical scales? We are in discussion with David Obura, IPBES Chair and Founder of CORDIO EAST Africa, Nonhle Mngadi, Senior Project Manager at the uThukela Marine Protected Areas Ecosystems-Based Adaptation project in South Africa, and Dr Makame Omar Makame, Director of the Marine conservation department at the Ministry of Blue Economy and Fisheries in Zanzibar. Listen in as they discuss what effective protection can and should mean in times of climate change and rapidly developing ocean economies. For example, are MPAs still appropriate, or should we consider other forms of conservation management altogether? Ultimately, we will ask what is needed to secure a future for marine biodiversity: What local, national and international policies and policy frameworks do we need? So dive right in and hear what is needed to secure a future for marine biodiversity at the local, national and international level.

Your hosts: Dr. Kira Gee, Helmholtz-Zentrum Hereon and Alison Clausen, Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission UNESCO
