By 2030, we will create 1 million km² of new ocean protections and enhance effective, inclusive management for over 130 existing areas.
The 30x30 Ocean Accelerator is a resource mobilization mechanism that unlocks the financial and technical support countries and communities need to achieve major gains in ocean protection.
We focus on the long-term protection of key marine ecosystems and the coastal communities that depend on them. We net protections for our oceans and coastal communities where it matters most – focusing on ecosystems with high ecological integrity and the potential to serve as engines of prosperity for all.
From small community-managed marine areas to large, transboundary seascapes, we support governments and local partners by employing science-based approaches and evidence-driven models to develop and implement national plans to meet 30x30 goals – through the creation of new marine protected areas, and the inclusive and effective management of existing ones.
