The humorous nature of the film makes it accessible to a wide audience, bringing with it important simple take home messages. This film and understandable text exhibit the fundamental benefits of MPAs and the ideal process for MPA designation and their governance. It is an exceptional outreach tool, useful for individuals of all ages and background, to be shared far and wide to increase awareness about- ocean issues, MPAs and the benefits they bring. Participation and collaboration are key elements of good governance, and the film emphasises the need for more open and transparent communication to achieve long-term sustainability. The film offers a good talking point for all actors involved in/or affected by MPAs and raises many interesting questions. ------------------------------------------------- Daniel Mateos Molina, Marie Curie Fellow MMMPA Monitoring of Mediterranean Marine Protected Areas Underwater Biological Cartography (UBICA srl) Via S.
