During the workshop, participants shared valuable insights, scientific data, and innovative ideas on establishing a ecological corridor designed to minimize human impacts and protect the migratory routes of cetaceans in Macaronesia. Recognizing that a science-based understanding of ecosystem dynamics is fundamental, the session emphasized the importance of integrating ecological, behavioral, and environmental information to inform the corridor’s design. This approach aimed to ensure that the corridor effectively supports the long-term health and connectivity of marine ecosystems across the Macaronesian archipelagos.
A key objective of this initiative was to develop a unified and adaptable framework for assessing and addressing critical environmental challenges within the region. By doing so, we hope to promote a cohesive strategy that enhances connectivity among the Macaronesian islands, thereby supporting the resilience and sustainability of their unique marine biodiversity.
A great step forward in promoting ecological connectivity and marine conservation in the Macaronesia region!
