Young emperor penguins spend about 90% of their time outside the boundaries of current and proposed marine protected areas.
New research shows why @CCAMLR1 should expand protections for Antarctica's Southern Ocean.

🔵«Little by little,#Revillagigedoo has shown that highly and fully protected areas truly are what I like to call ‘savings accounts.’ In a short time, thanks to science, we will verify the spillover effect of this MPA».—@SylviaEarlee.

The connectivity between this Hope Spot and places such as the Galápagos in Ecuador and Cocos Island in Costa Rica marks the importance of establishing strong protections for the Revillagigedo Archipelago.

Since its creation 5 years ago, Gómez & partners have noted growing biodiversity in the National Park. Research has shown that wildlife like whale sharks, Galápagos sharks, & giant manta rays migrate between Revillagigedo and other regions throughout the Eastern Tropical Pacific.
A group of multidisciplinary institutions, including @betadiversidad and the National Commission of Natural Protected Areas (CONANP), are conducting a baseline study to document populations of marine life that live and migrate through the Revillagigedo National Park.
We are over the moon to announce there is a new Champion of the Revillagigedo Archipelago Hope Spot, Mario Gómez, founder of @betadiversidad! Established in Nov 2017, the Revillagigedo National Park is North America's largest marine protected area at 148,087 sq km. #HopeSpots
