A new study led by ProtectedSeas – an organization aiming to provide open data and monitoring solutions to enhance awareness of and compliance with ocean protection efforts – has found that boaters often cluster along the edges of marine protected areas (MPAs) off the coast of
Global biodiversity assessments require the collection of data on changes in plant biodiversity on an ongoing basis.
A natural habitat's ability to withstand and recover from damage can be empirically monitored from space—and the method may prove important during upcoming decades of climate and land-use change.
Move over Spotify, marine experts across the world are working together to create a global platform containing the sounds of underwater life, to monitor the changing environment and inform marine conservation.
The Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment (M.N.R.E.) has commissioned a climate change monitoring base at Aopo in Savai’i. But the facility on the mountaintop can also be used for conservation purposes by the villagers according to the M.N.R.E.
The Samoa Conservation Society (S.C.S.) has thrown its support behind efforts by the Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries (M.A.F.) to stop the catching and selling of undersized marine species. Officials from the Ministry, in a joint operation with the Police last week, swooped on sellers
The project is designed to carry out four major key activities that includes but not limited to, the development of a management plan for the 9 protected areas and undertake to provide key equipment and tools required to carry out effective and well-coordinated patrolling, protection and monitori
The expedition was conducted by KSLOF, a US-based nonprofit environmental organization dedicated to providing science-based solutions to protect and restore ocean health. Starting as early as 2001, the foundation conducted field research to survey and map coral reefs to aid in coral conservation efforts. These research missions culminated in the Global Reef Expedition, which brought together an international team of over 200 scientists, educators, photographers, and filmmakers who circumnavigated the globe surveying some of the most remote coral reefs in the world.
