The Galápagos Sea Lion is one of many species listed on the @IUCNRedList. Today, for #EndangeredSpeciesDay let's be thankful for new marine protected areas such as the recently declared 60'000km2 Hermandad #MPA in #Ecuador, that help safeguard & regenerate iconic #biodiversity.

Thank you @EU_MARE for the opportunity to speak about concluding the negotiations on #FisheriesSubsidies as well as the importance of the #BBNJ treaty; without protecting 30% of the global ocean & sustainably managing the remaining 70%, we cannot have a #sustainable ocean.
