Protecting the Ocean With the Blue Nature Alliance

‘What we’re trying to do is create ocean conservation areas that match not only the character of the place but the need of the people’ — The Blue Nature Alliance is working to protect 7 million square miles of the ocean, with a goal of protecting 30% of the world’s ocean by 2030.

Blue Nature Alliance is a collaboration of multiple organizations working toward the global conservation goal of protecting 30% of the world's ocean by 2030. That’s an area twice the size of the continental United States.

The alliance recognizes that a ‘one-size fits all’ approach will not work, so they are working with Indigenous communities, scientists, and other partners to implement location-specific practices.
