Since Monday a small but powerful delegation is representing @CREAF_ecologia at #UNOceanConference2022 in Lisbon.

Why are we, a mainly (but not exclusively) terrestrial ecology research center, at #UNOC2022?

As Her Deepness @SylviaEarle says, “no blue 💙, no green 💚”, ‘cuz what happens in & to the #ocean affects the whole world since the ocean absorbs:

🔥 90% of the 🌏 extra heat since the 50s
🫧 1/4 of the CO2 from human emissions

And what happens in the 💚 also affects deeply the 💙

Our postdoc @ezteliz research focuses on the links between terrestrial and #marine systems, and how river discharges have a great impact on coastal areas, specially #plankton communities.

Analyzing the data on nutrient exports from rivers in southwest EU + looking at the long term changes in the context of human pressures, she and her team concluded that bold agricultural management measures are urgently required.

Why? Because most of the nitrogen affecting coastal communities comes from fertilizers used in agriculture.

🚨 Regulating fertilizers agro-use is also an important measure for #OceanConservation, and policies implemented in land have a great impact in the ocean.

The same way that we have #OneOcean that unites us all, our planet 🌍 is a highly interconnected system and we cannot consider the 💙 separated from the 💚.

Breaking silos is the way to go, in international negotiations and in research.
