The Central American country is rich in biodiversity but it is also one of the countries most threatened by climate change. On June 8 \u2013 World Oceans Day \u2013 it announced it would expand a marine reserve in its Pacific waters to cover 67,742 square kilometers. That\u2019s close in size to its land mass of 75,517 square kilometers.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">The area incorporates the Cordillera de Coiba, an area rich in fish stocks and an important feeding ground for many marine species. Combined with the neighboring reserves of Colombia\u2019s waters, the protected area will expand to 121,341 square kilometers, making it the third largest marine reserve in the tropical Pacific. \u201cWe are very happy,\u201d said Milciades Concepci\u00f3n, Panama\u2019s environment minister. \u201cThe whole region is very excited that Panama is going to achieve this.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Panama created the existing 17,223-square-kilometer marine reserve in September 2015 to protect threatened flora and fauna and critical fish stocks. With the support of experts from the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute, Panamanian authorities have now expanded this across nine submerged mountain ranges, where some underwater peaks reach 3,000 meters high. An important array of 14 different species of marine mammals live in the zone, which is a feeding and breeding ground\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/english.elpais.com\/elpais\/2014\/03\/05\/inenglish\/1394034935_414469.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-link-track-dtm=\"\">for sea turtles<\/a>, marlins (or sailfish), sharks and whales, including species considered vulnerable or endangered. The decision \u201cwill double the amount of Panamanian marine surface that is under some degree of protection,\u201d according to a Smithsonian statement. This decision also makes Panama compliant with the goals established by the Convention on Biological Diversity, which was signed by 196 countries and came into force in 1993.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"f | margin_top\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload block width_full\" src=\"https:\/\/images.english.elpais.com\/resizer\/KskL4mRbbToovxvQL1MTwys1co4=\/414x0\/cloudfront-eu-central-1.images.arcpublishing.com\/prisa\/VKDPU37CXVGM5H2I6QBXGXHJ6M.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/images.english.elpais.com\/resizer\/KskL4mRbbToovxvQL1MTwys1co4=\/414x0\/cloudfront-eu-central-1.images.arcpublishing.com\/prisa\/VKDPU37CXVGM5H2I6QBXGXHJ6M.jpg 414w,https:\/\/images.english.elpais.com\/resizer\/Qu2j0WvFBlEK8dwyywO5NiiJPig=\/828x0\/cloudfront-eu-central-1.images.arcpublishing.com\/prisa\/VKDPU37CXVGM5H2I6QBXGXHJ6M.jpg 640w,https:\/\/images.english.elpais.com\/resizer\/8yPuiA0vKp2FOi7CWYJYZ0-WAhM=\/980x0\/cloudfront-eu-central-1.images.arcpublishing.com\/prisa\/VKDPU37CXVGM5H2I6QBXGXHJ6M.jpg 1000w,https:\/\/images.english.elpais.com\/resizer\/fwUEDFqjeL23hsaG9S8ljJmFd_I=\/1960x0\/cloudfront-eu-central-1.images.arcpublishing.com\/prisa\/VKDPU37CXVGM5H2I6QBXGXHJ6M.jpg 1960w\" alt=\"The expanded reserve aims to grant greater protection to the marine life in Coiba. \" width=\"8791\" height=\"5861\" \/><figcaption class=\"f_c | border_bottom border_1 border_gray_ultra_light_warm text_align_right padding_vertical color_gray_medium\">The expanded reserve aims to grant greater protection to the marine life in Coiba.\u00a0<span class=\"f_a | color_black margin_left uppercase light\"><span class=\"author\">CRISTINA MITTERMEIER<\/span><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"\">To guarantee the protection of the new area, Concepci\u00f3n said that his government is in talks with international organizations to oversee the protection of natural resources using tech-driven monitoring tools. \u201cWe are establishing the mechanisms to monitor the area, as well as the creation of a management plan that we are coordinating with the Smithsonian Institute, which establishes surveillance, supervision and control, and which will help us to comply with the limitations that this protected area requires in the use of its resources,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Panama is a major global trade hub.

Studies conducted by Smithsonian experts show that among the ships that cross the protected zone are international merchant vessels, although oil tankers are the ones that ply these waters the most. There are also international fishing boats that use fine-mesh nets to catch tuna illegally, an activity that generates profits of around $5 million annually. Bycatch includes sharks, which get trapped in the nets. \u201cThis type of fishing is very environmentally damaging because of the quantities that are fished,\u201d explained H\u00e9ctor Guzm\u00e1n, of the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute. \u201cThis should not be happening.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Guzm\u00e1n is the architect of the marine reserve\u2019s expansion, and secured the funds to expand it via international organizations. \u201cThe plan is to reduce fishing in the area and allow stocks to reach the area closest to the coast, where the Panamanian\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/english.elpais.com\/elpais\/2014\/12\/16\/inenglish\/1418743321_238618.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-link-track-dtm=\"\">artisanal fleet<\/a>\u00a0is located. Also, we will only allow selective fishing that does not affect other species such as sharks or turtles, contributing to conservation efforts. This will allow the stock to recover, because it will no longer be fished in a destructive way, and that will benefit the local economies that will actually be able to access it.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure class=\"f | margin_top pull_left width_half\"><\/figure>\n<p class=\"\">Conservationists are enthusiastic about the new protected area, created by decree by Panama\u2019s president, Laurentino Cortizo. Among those backing the project is Maximiliano Bello of the Mission Blue organization, which tries to persuade nations to create marine protected areas around the world. \u201cIf each country did its part, as Panama is doing, it would provide a better future for these marine ecosystems,\u201d argued Bello. \u201cSeamounts [underwater mountains] are among the most important physical elements for biodiversity. Seamounts generate oceanographic processes, such as currents in the water, which stimulate life. They are key areas for marine species,\u201d he added. Protecting these areas is an investment in the future for populations who survive off the sea\u2019s riches, he says. \u201cWe have to put more resources and investment into caring for nature, because it is an important generator of capital. We have to extend incentives for conservation, because it is the source of all economic activity.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Get Vaccinated and stay safe!!<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"wpcf7 no-js\"
