And ultimately helping all understand that these are not separate but very interconnected factors that must be considered as a whole.

@JonoHandley @BirdLife_News @BirdLifeMarine @BAS_News @AldinaFranco @AWI_Media @NOAA @TheLynchLab @AusAntarctic @NorskPolar @pewenvironment In your opinion, what is the greatest challenge when designing these closures? #WSTC7 #ConsSesh1

1/4 Overexploitation of resources is a key pressure causing population declines. Where should conservation efforts be targeted? Important Bird and Biodiversity Areas #IBAs provide critical evidence for decision-makers. Learn more: bit.ly/3uo25c4. #WSTC7 #ConsSesh1

4/4 #CCAMLR, #MPAs with appropriately designed spatiotemporal closures of fisheries operations that undergo regular review processes are a key management tool for conserving #Antarctic #penguins and other #MarineLife. Full study:📜: bit.ly/3uoWAdm #WSTC7 #ConsSesh1

3/4 If #MPA network for #Antarctic waters were implemented, enhanced conservation of high-quality areas #IBAs for breeding Antarctic #penguins would increase by between 49% and 100%, depending on the species. Read more 📰: bit.ly/33f93V2 #WSTC7 #ConsSesh1
