Ayer participamos en #RedLAC2026 compartiendo nuestra experiencia en un tema fundamental para todos los actores de la conservación ambiental: la medición de impacto. We shared our experience on the development of the Blue Social Progress Index before LATAM Conservation Trust Funds 🌊

Working for the team that has shaped this dream is such an honor; feliz aniversario, MarViva 🌊 GRACIAS a todas las alianzas que han contribuido a este sueño 💪

"The idea of allowing bottom trawling in marine protected areas is mind-boggling," said @drrashidsumaila.bsky.social. "Only short termism and industry lobbying can explain why such damaging activity is allowed in areas designated for protection." @sppga.ubc.ca thefishingdaily.com/european-fis...

Ocean conservation must lead to social progress. Local empowerment, to a more effective ocean management. When coastal communities are empowered, nothing can stop them: ecosystems and society thrive 🌊🌱 🐝 #OceanOptimism
