Among the curious news I read this morning that a burglar killed two fish red to leave no witnesses, while the library is about to exit the Feltrinelli book-dvd interesting about the scenario of a planet without fish, fishing exterminated by "uncontrolled", there is news. A network of one hundred
Marine Protected Areas for a total area of \u200b\u200b207,000 square kilometers. It's called 'MedNet' and is the proposal of the environmental Oceana to protect the Mediterranean. With this surface, together with those already existing marine protected areas, says Oceana, we could protect up to 12% of the Mare Nostrum the target set by the Convention on Biological Diversity United Nations, which provides for the protection of at least 10% of regions marine in the world by 2012.
Currently, according to the association, only 4% of the area of \u200b\u200bthe Mediterranean is protected with a concentration on the coast (with the exception of the Shrine of the Sea, in California) and on the north side of the pelvis and a complete lack of protection of spaces high seas and the southern shore. Therefore - Oceana explains - the existing network of marine protected areas are neither representative nor consistent with the proposal and Oceana MedNet was completed with a wide variety of places, like underwater mountains, shoals, canyons, areas of steep ridges, volcanoes mud, gas fumes, mountains converted into carbonate. In essence, lesser-known habitat of seagrass meadows or barriers reefs. "Oceana MedNet is an example of how, with current knowledge, you can create an effective network of marine protected areas," says Ricardo Aguilar, research director of Oceana Europe. "If we intervene with the precautionary approach can protect the most relevant, since now you know the geological and oceanographic habitat that generate more biodiversity or vulnerability." Good Day
