We urgently need to protect at least a third of our oceans by 2030 and this research shows what a robust, planet-wide network of ocean sanctuaries could look like. The research represents a new approach to designing and creating a network of ocean sanctuaries (or \u2018fully protected marine protected areas\u2019).<\/p>\n\n<p>In one of the largest ever studies of its kind, the researchers broke down the oceans that are classed as &#8216;international waters&#8217; \u2013 which cover almost half the planet \u2013 into 25,000 squares of 100km x 100km, and then mapped the distribution of 458 different conservation features, including wildlife, habitats and key oceanographic features, generating hundreds of scenarios for what a planet-wide network of ocean sanctuaries, free from harmful human activity, could look like.<\/p>\n\n<p>Governments are negotiating towards a Global Ocean Treaty at the UN that could pave the way for this network of ocean sanctuaries.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>The science is clear: our oceans are in crisis. Now all we need is the political will to protect them. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>The UN is likely to make its decision in 2020, so please help us get the right result from those discussions by taking action.<\/p>\n\n<p>Download the full report: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-international-stateless\/2019\/04\/4475b2c2-updatedgreenpeace_30x30_blueprint_report_web.pdf\">30&#215;30: A Blueprint For Ocean Protection<\/a><\/p>\n\n<p>Download the Executive Summary: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-international-stateless\/2019\/03\/479c73c5-30x30_blueprint_report_exec_summary_web.pdf\">30&#215;30: A Blueprint For Ocean Protection &#8211; Executive Summary<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This report is the result of a year-long collaboration between leading academics at the University of York, University of Oxford and Greenpeace.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":18,"featured_media":21610,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_planet4_optimize_post_is_variant":false,"_planet4_optimize_experiment_name":"","_planet4_optimize_variant_name":"","ep_exclude_from_search":false,"p4_og_title":"","p4_og_description":"","p4_og_image":"","p4_og_image_id":"","p4_seo_canonical_url":"","p4_campaign_name":"not set","p4_local_project":"not set","p4_basket_name":"not set","p4_department":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[70],"tags":[85],"p4-page-type":[62],"class_list":["post-21604","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nature","tag-oceans","p4-page-type-publication"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/international\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21604","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/international\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/international\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/international\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/18"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/international\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=21604"}],"version-history":[{"count":20,"href":"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/international\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21604\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":62108,"href":"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/international\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21604\/revisions\/62108"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/international\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/21610"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/international\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=21604"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/international\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=21604"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/international\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=21604"},{"taxonomy":"p4-page-type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/international\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/p4-page-type?post=21604"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
