The Blue Park Standard outlines 6 criteria for MPAs that deliver lasting conservation outcomes:
1️⃣ Biodiversity-focused design
2️⃣ Equitable, durable governance
3️⃣ Protection from harmful activities
4️⃣ Evidence-based management
5️⃣ Comprehensive compliance strategy
6️⃣ Capacity to implement and adapt

Why it matters:
Effective marine protected areas (MPAs) safeguard biodiversity, strengthen coastal resilience, and help the world achieve 30x30.
The updated Standard turns decades of science into clear, actionable criteria.
