Jesper Andersen (318 ppm)@2xges.bsky.social · 4mo agoAre MPAs in the transition zone between the North Sea and the Baltic Sea effective? We have mapped cumulative effects of multiple stressors in the Skagerrak. Anchored in this, and a statistical model, we have compared pressures within outside the MPAs. Most MPAs are so-called 'paper parks'.

The #ocean provides for all of us, but that is not the end of the story. We are part of the ecosystem and we need to respect that. The fish 🐟 we eat, the corals 🪸 that protect our coast, with our actions we influence them, harm them and in doing so can harm ourselves.
