Lead institution:

Marine Conservation Institute – United States of America (USA)

Blue Parks aims to accelerate and incentivize strongly regulated, well-managed and well-placed marine protected areas (MPAs) that effectively safeguard biodiversity.

The Blue Parks program developed and utilizes science-based criteria, the Blue Park criteria, that set standards for effective marine conservation. MPAs that meet Blue Park standards are eligible for Blue Park Awards, which recognize ecologically important, effective MPAs and incentivize others to reach similar high standards of marine protection. The accompanying Blue Sparks program creates partnerships between Marine Conservation Institute and NGOs, leaders, and governments to generate effective MPAs that meet Blue Park Award standards.

Start Date: 01/01/2021
