AquaClaire@aquaclaire.ecoevo.social.ap.brid.gy · 2mo agoThe 1859 artwork ‘Ocean Life’ gives a wonderful impression of the real-life complexity which few humans then had the chance to see; Helen Scales describes some of its 75 species.

Schon gewusst? Walehaie nehmen mit ihrem riesigen Maul Plankton und andere Kleinstlebewesen auf und ziehen durch tropische Küstengewässer wie vor Belize. Doch ihre Lebensräume sind bedroht! Deshalb sind Schutzprojekte, wie sie der @blueactionfund.org und das @bmz.de fördert, entscheidend.
Zum Internationalen Tag der Meeresschutzgebiete: Gesunde Meere brauchen wirksame Schutzgebiete! In Belize arbeiten wir an der Ausweisung eines neuen Schutzgebietes, um die einzigartigen Ökosysteme in der Placencia Lagoon - und die Küste - besser zu schützen. Danke @blueactionfund.org & @bmz.de
