Nominate marine protected areas (MPAs) for Blue Park Awards. MPAs that demonstrate strong protections for biologically significant areas will earn Blue Park status, which comes with international recognition and a cash prize. Learn more about the Blue Park Award criteria.
Blue Park Awards celebrate the outstanding conservation work of communities, managers, governments and NGOs safeguarding marine biodiversity with well-designed, strongly protected and effectively managed MPAs. From the smallest community conservation area to the largest reserve, from the tropical seas to the polar oceans, all implemented MPAs can be nominated for Blue Park Awards and join the movement to safeguard life in the sea.
Blue Parks is an endorsed Ocean Decade Project.
The nomination survey will take approximately 30 minutes to complete. Have a question? Reach out to blueparks@marine-conservation.org
