Target: José Didier Tonato, Minister of the Living Environment and Sustainable Development, BeninGoal: Protect newly rediscovered marine ecosystems and ensure responsible marine resource management. It is essential for the Beninese government to implement strict regulations on fishing practices and establish a protected marine area around the reef. The time to act is now; the protection of this rediscovered reef must be prioritized. However, without the necessary protection, the ongoing threats from overfishing and climate change jeopardize the survival of this unique ecosystem. Creation of a marine protected area around the reef could serve as a significant step towards safeguarding this treasure for future generations.
