Is human wellbeing a driving motivator for wildlife conservation, or just a necessary consideration for achieving a #biodiversity goal? Conversations at #IMCC7 keep bringing me back to my recent survey, which suggests a discrepancy in views: rebeccanesbit.com/what-does-…

Goodhart's Law (rephrased) when a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure and the thing it is designed to measure will get worse. Angelo believes this applies to MPAs (also IUCN RLA) #IMCC7

Angelo Villagomez kicks off today's #IMCC7 by highlighting how the wealthier nations with overseas EEZ's (legacy of colonialism) tend to favour putting large marine protected areas (MPAs) in those overseas areas rather than in their "local" waters.

Great to be at the International Marine Conservation Conference Congress this week. @CityofCT is presenting today on CECs.
As the most biodiverse city on the planet @CapeTown is the best destination for conservation conference.

A genuinely empowering plenary this morning at #IMCC7. Angelo Villagomez shed light on MPA quality and the lack of collaboration with indigenous communities.
It did highlight that St Helena is in a very different place to the rest of the world, and for that we are proud 🇸🇭

Emma Algotsson (Catchgreen) talks about piloting Catchgreen biodegradable fishing gear at #IMCC7
70% of marine animal entanglement involves lost, abandoned, and discarded fishing gear.
The gear uses a biodegradable polymer that can be broken down by marine microbes

Housseni Houssoyni tells us about co-management of the Comoros Marine Protected Areas
There's lots of actors involved - MPA village communities, economic operators, science, law enforcement and more.
Yes - it's complicated!
