Our Partner, the Marine Conservation Institute, Introduces Updated Blue Park Standard to Strengthen Global Marine Protection
If you want to know what Blue Parks are, or are involved in advancing a marine protected area (MPA) or even want to nominate such an area you should have a look at the updated Blue Park Standard for Effective Ocean Conservation, a comprehensive, science-backed guide designed to help MPAs achieve real conservation success. The Blue Park Standard provides clear, actionable criteria for planning, implementing, and evaluating MPAs that effectively protect marine biodiversity.
Developed collaboratively with more than 150 marine conservation scientists from around the world and grounded in the latest research on MPA effectiveness, the Blue Park Standard provides clear guidance for biodiversity-focused protection, equitable governance, and high-quality management across diverse marine environments.
