Governments must urgently close the glaring gap between commitments and action. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The report reveals that the current rate of progress will take 265 years to fully protect 30% of the ocean.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Download the Report: <\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-international-stateless\/2026\/10\/6aa7852b-greenpeace-international-well-connected-atlantic-30x30-english.pdf\">WELL CONNECTED: Protecting the Atlantic High Seas through an ocean-wide sanctuary network &#8211; full report<\/a> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Greenpeace report on Protecting the Atlantic High Seas through<br \/>\nan ocean-wide sanctuary network<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":18,"featured_media":86489,"comment_status":"closed","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_seo_meta_title":"","p4_seo_meta_description":"","p4_campaign_name":"Oceans Are Life","p4_local_project":"","p4_basket_name":"Oceans","p4_department":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[70],"tags":[85],"p4-page-type":[62],"class_list":["post-86468","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\/86468","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=86468"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/international\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/86468\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":86681,"href":"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/international\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/86468\/revisions\/86681"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/international\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/86489"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/international\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=86468"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/international\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=86468"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/international\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=86468"},{"taxonomy":"p4-page-type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/international\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/p4-page-type?post=86468"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
