🌊🗺️ Using participatory research to include local knowledge in conservation decisions. This month, the
@BioProtect_EU Project joined the Stripe Young Scientist & Technology Exhibition in Dublin, where visitors from across Ireland helped researchers map what matters most in our coastal and marine environments.
Using Participatory Mapping (PPGIS), people shared: 📍 places they value
📍 places they’re concerned about
This community-led data will support researchers from the Marine Institute and the University of Galway in identifying priority areas for conservation, helping ensure local knowledge informs decisions on Marine Protected Areas and Marine Spatial Planning.
🗺️ The insights from the event are now pinned on the map of Ireland shown here, do you spot places that matter to you?
💬 Tell us in the comments what you’d add, or which coastal and marine areas you think deserve extra care.

The High Seas Treaty enters into force today, marking a major milestone for ocean conservation and sustainable use. The agreement establishes a 🌍 framework to govern areas beyond national jurisdiction, covering around half of the planet’s surface and 95% of the ocean’s volume.
🤝A decisive step toward protecting our oceans for the future!
