Lissette Victorero

✒️ Lissette Victorero is the lead author of the new study finding that some fishing still persists in protected deep-sea areas. There are significant risks to vulnerable marine ecosystems that the current regulatory framework isn’t addressing to protect #OceanLifelines.

Our new article out in Science Advances today! 🌊 In Europe we have protected 1% of our deep-sea biodiversity from bottom-contact fishing, but our analysis revealed that 3,500 hours of fishing still occurred within these protected areas. science.org/doi/full/10.11… @DeepStewardship

🚨Paper Alert🚨 ⚠️Over 80% of the #EU’s #MPAs only marginally regulates human activities. 🤏0.2% are #fully or #highly protected. 🌊Reaching the EU’s 10% strict protection target will require radical changes to the regulation of activities in EU MPAs. doi.org/10.1016/j.onee…
