We're heartbroken to share that Dr. Mel Consentino, former Treasurer of SCB MARINE, has passed away.
Born in Argentina with a passion for orcas that would define her life's work, Mel dedicated herself to marine conservation in the most meaningful way. 🐋

@taotaotasi.bsky.social kicks off today's #IMCC7 by highlighting how the wealthier nations with overseas EEZ's (legacy of colonialism) tend to favour putting large marine protected areas (MPAs) in those overseas areas rather than in their "local" waters.

Emma Algotsson (Catchgreen) talks about piloting Catchgreen biodegradable fishing gear at #IMCC7
70% of marine animal entanglement involves lost, abandoned, and discarded fishing gear.
The gear uses a biodegradable polymer that can be broken down by marine microbes

There's lots of actors involved - MPA village communities, economic operators, science, law enforcement and more.
Yes - it's complicated!
