A study published in Science reveals that protecting 30 % from the ocean, although it helps in conservation, is insufficient to protect sharks, whales or turtles.
The work has the collaboration of Portuguese researchers.
Almost 16 thousand individuals of 121 different marine species were followed through transmitters And so migration routes and behavioral patterns were built in more than 70% of the ocean surface.
400 researchers from around the world Participated in this effort to perceive the call Mega Marine Fauna.
Many are tips with essential roles in marine food chains. About one third is even at risk of extinction.
O UN Treaty to the High Sea signed by 115 countries Want to pass the protected marine areas from 8 to 30%.
For the investigators involved, this issue of protected areas is more and better.
The human pressure exerted on this mega marine fauna goes through plastic pollution and increased water temperaturebut also for the fishing and maritime traffic.
Recommendations and proposals made by this study published now in Science magazine and whose main author Ana Sequeira, a Portuguese marine biologist at Australian University.
