Let's protect our remarkable waves. Legendary Teahupo'o spot is of inestimable importance for surfing, biodiversity/ecosystem services and cultural heritage. Yet, the area might face important pressures soon, due to new infrastructures. We need to integrate wave protection and wave reserves into legal frameworks.

#Danube news 19.08.2024 The water level in the Danube has significantly decreased. A typical seasonal phenomenon in this period of the year. It is especially visible on the middle Danube.  We are luckier 🙂 Some information about draft in ports: #Braila = 7.01m #Reni = 7m (berths 16,17,18,19,20, 2B), the others can be loaded in the same way, but a spacers is needed between vsl and berth. #Izmail = 7m (berths 8 and 22), - others less.  #Kiliya = 5,5m (depends on berth) #Sulina canal = 7.01 m #Bystroe channel = 5.5 m With kind regards Katerina Kononenko AVALON SHIPPING SRL Sulina / Danube shipping agency Mob.: + 40767458944 Katerina www.avalonshipping.eu

🚢 Diving deep into the dynamics of the shipping industry at the International Bulk Shipping Conference organised by Riviera Maritime Media, Marieke Beckmann delved into the progress made in establishing green corridors, explored policy needs and underscored the crucial role of government support.   “As green corridors are working their way towards implementation, governments now need to engage in order to de-risk private sector investments and help bridge the cost gap," said Marieke. "The West Australia to East Asia Iron Ore Green Corridor, for instance, is looking at what policy support it needs and will be engaging the Australian Government in a public-private dialogue to establish how industry and government can work together on this opportunity.”   📅 Looking ahead, mark your calendars for the upcoming Annual Green Corridors Progress Report, set to be published in December 2023.

The bleaching happening this year is severe worldwide! There is another alert for bleaching in the north of Mozambique. Last year, the corals of a small reef in Inhaca Island in the south suffered greatly, while the north remained unaffected by bleaching. This year, the situation in the north is particularly severe. The state of our oceans is a major concern for us. https://lnkd.in/djTWdVXy

Preserving sharks and rays is fundamental to maintaining the balance of marine ecosystems. Identifying Important Shark and Ray Areas (ISRAs) in New Zealand and the tropical islands plays a key role in marine conservation. These regions are vital habitats for diverse shark and ray species, many of which are threatened by overfishing, habitat destruction, and climate change. Pinpointing ISRAs allows us to focus conservation efforts where they are needed most, ensuring the protection of these keystone species. Moreover, understanding the connectivity between these habitats is critical for safeguarding migratory species and ensuring their survival across different regions throughout their life cycles.
