NOAA finalizes programmatic EIS naming 10 aquaculture opportunity areas off Southern California
NOAA published a final programmatic environmental impact statement identifying 10 aquaculture opportunity areas (AOAs) in federal waters off the Southern California Bight. The PEIS analyzes potential impacts but does not set site-level avoidance, mitigation or monitoring requirements; future projects will need project-specific NEPA analyses and may

What Governance Needs to Hear
MPAs can still work, if they’re networked, flexible, and connected across depths and regions. That takes political will, not just good maps.

[8/8] Cette étude montre qu’un plan bien conçu ne suffit pas. Pour faire face au changement climatique, un petit État comme la #Dominique doit adapter ses outils aux réalités locales, renforcer la gouvernance et investir dans des projets utiles à long terme. #geography #MarinePlanning #SmallIslands

[7/8] Des solutions concrètes existent déjà: sanctuaire pour les cachalots, protection des herbiers marins ou adaptation des ports. Ces mesures ont plusieurs effets positifs à la fois: elles protègent la biodiversité, soutiennent la pêche et stockent du CO₂. #geography #MarinePlanning #SmallIslands

[6/8] Pour avancer, il faut créer un comité national de gouvernance maritime, collecter des données précises, financer des projets durables et associer les populations locales. Ces conditions sont indispensables pour transformer le plan en actions concrètes. #geography #MarinePlanning #SmallIslands

[5/8] Malgré son ambition, le plan n’est pas encore appliqué. Plusieurs freins ralentissent sa mise en œuvre : manque de moyens, coordination difficile entre services, accès limité aux données marines et absence d’une structure nationale de pilotage dédiée. #geography #MarinePlanning #SmallIslands

[4/8] Le plan s’appuie sur 5 piliers présents dans les politiques climatiques du pays : résilience, adaptation, atténuation, développement durable et gouvernance. Il propose, par exemple, de reboiser les littoraux et de renforcer les ports face aux tempêtes. #geography #MarinePlanning #SmallIslands

Coastal First Nations lead marine planning in their territories. Thousands of km² now include kelp, whales, herring, and cultural uses.
This is Indigenous-led vision in action.

Hiyi BlueSky! 🌊
I’m a marine researcher based in Shetland, focusing on #marineplanning, policy and marine #bioinvasions, but exploring seagrass, citizen-science and using drones to map habitats.
Looking forward to connecting and sharing some #Shetland wildlife and research!

Also this year, we published a short report on the findings of a knowledge exchange project with the MMO (Marine Management Organisation) quick particularly looked at #MarinePlanning and how it might be developed to better consider social factors.
