True to form as a late lateef, as there are still few mins to go before #WorldOceansDay ends on this earth let me share my pet peeves by replugging old unresolved but doable issues! Bear with me @sherryrehman @hnaqikhan @HqPmsa @IndusEarthTrust @dgprPaknavy @aminattock @dpr_gob

(2/4) Evaluating the #protection levels of the 1062 Mediterranean #MPAs we show that 95% of this area do not impose #regulations stronger inside than outside #MPAs.
