Congratulations to the 2023 Blue Parks!

Just announced at the 5th International Marine Protected Area Congress: three new MPAs join the global network of Blue Parks.

Less than 3% of the ocean is effectively protected. We need to protect at least 30% of the ocean to safeguard marine biodiversity and build ocean resilience.
