fully and highly protected areas by 2030 start exploring the atlas now 0 of the ocean is fully or highly protected according to the mpa guide as of most recent assessment on based on a global ocean area of 0 km 2 0 of the ocean is protected in mpas according to wdpca protectedplanet as of mpatlas applies the mpa guide to reported marine protected areas mpas to calculate the area of global marine protection that is implemented on the water and fully or highly protected from direct human impacts we compare this figure to the official mpa coverage reported by the world database on protected and conserved areas wdpca at protectedplanet the 10 figure recently reported by the wdpca refers to the reported coverage of both mpas and other effective conservation measures oecms towards the global biodiversity framework target 3 although the marine oecm guide is currently under review and will be incorporated in mpatlas in the future our assessments currently include mpas only therefore at this time we compare the area that is fully and highly protected only against the mpa area reported in the wdpca you can read more about our mpa progress tracking here example screenshot from the world database on protected and conserved areas wdpca at protectedplanet august 2026 version showing the mpa coverage statistic mentioned here the marine protection atlas mpatlas is building a comprehensive global database of marine protection to identify track and advocate for fully and highly protected areas mpatlas uses the mpa guide s science based framework to identify marine protected areas stage of establishment and level of protection which are linked to expected conservation outcomes mpatlas shows how much of the ocean is currently fully or highly protected highlights where mpas are not yet implemented on the water and much more by focusing on the quality in addition to the quantity of marine protection mpatlas supports international progress toward effective marine conservation the mpatlas assessment database is continually growing and will be regularly updated when new assessments are available for visualization and data analysis our assessment data is linked to geospatial boundaries from the world database on protected and conserved areas and other sources the dataset does not contain boundaries for all global mpas only those that have been assessed the mpa guide a framework to achieve global goals for the ocean the mpa guide is a groundbreaking science driven policy relevant framework to categorize marine protected areas and link their outcomes for nature and people we welcome feedback or contributions to our database mpa guide assessment of marine protection loading largest marine protected areas 89 of global marine protected area is in the 100 largest marine protected areas explore the largest 100 mpas 36 of the 100 largest marine protected areas is in implemented fully highly protected areas explore mpas by mpa guide protection level 11 of global marine protected area is in over 18 000 smaller marine protected areas loading blue parks blue parks aim to unite a global ocean refuge system of effective mpas that covers 30 of the ocean to safeguard marine biodiversity the blue park criteria are science based standards for conservation effectiveness which provide blueprints for effective mpas and a framework for evaluating the biodiversity benefits of mpas by awarding mpas that meet the blue park criteria the blue parks initiative incentivizes and accelerates effective marine protection learn more about blue parks 40 marine protected areas have received blue park awards these areas cover roughly 11 9 of the total marine protected area in the world blue parks around the world explore interactive map new blue parks in 2026 six marine protected areas mpas won prestigious blue park awards for exceptional marine wildlife conservation at the our ocean conference in 2026 banc des américains marine protected area canada

national park madagascar join a growing network of 40 awarded blue parks around the global ocean that have met the highest science based standards for conservation effectiveness the six new blue parks cover a total area of approximately 732 000 square kilometers their addition brings the blue park network to a total of 4 2 million square kilometers of ocean area effectively protected in the waters of 30 countries and indigenous territories the marine protection atlas is made possible through the generous support from it was created by the marine conservation institute in partnership with astute
