NSW.BiodiversityMarine megafauna mobility and human traffic"We tracked 13,000 giants of the ocean over 30 years, to uncover their hidden highways....But almost a third are now at risk of extinction due largely to fishing, shipping, pollution and global warming. New research I led sought to shed light on the issue. My colleagues and I gathered 30 years of satellite tracking data to map hotspots of megafauna activity around the globe.""More than 90% of the important marine megafauna areas we identified are exposed to high plastic pollution, shipping traffic or to intensifying global warming. And about 75% are exposed to industrial fishing...Currently only about 8% of the global ocean is protected. And only 5% of the important marine megafauna areas we identified occur within these existing marine protected areas." >> <a href="https://theconversation.com/we-tracked-13-000-giants-of-the-ocean-over-30-years-to-uncover-their-hidden-highways-254610" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://theconversation.com/we-tracked-13-000-giants-of-the-ocean-over-30-years-to-uncover-their-hidden-highways-254610</a> <a href="https://theblower.au/tags/biodiversity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#biodiversity</a> <a href="https://theblower.au/tags/marine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#marine</a> <a href="https://theblower.au/tags/wildlife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#wildlife</a> <a href="https://theblower.au/tags/MarineMegafauna" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#MarineMegafauna</a> <a href="https://theblower.au/tags/mobility" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#mobility</a> <a href="https://theblower.au/tags/migration" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#migration</a> <a href="https://theblower.au/tags/conservation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#conservation</a> <a href="https://theblower.au/tags/shipping" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#shipping</a> <a href="https://theblower.au/tags/traffic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#traffic</a> <a href="https://theblower.au/tags/Boatstrikes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Boatstrikes</a> <a href="https://theblower.au/tags/Kunming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Kunming</a> <a href="https://theblower.au/tags/ocean" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ocean</a>
