We are working with Blue Marine Foundation to support their commitment to 30x30; a global conservation target to protect 30% of the ocean by 2030.
Blue Marine is working across the globe to achieve this target while also restoring vital marine habitats, connecting people with the sea, developing models of sustainable fishing and tackling overfishing.
To support Blue Marine’s mission, Earth Active is providing research support through four of our staff members who have backgrounds in conservation and marine science. The team is helping Blue Marine to study the impacts of Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) within the UK and abroad, which ultimately feeds into the 30x30 target that the UK has committed to.
”It is essential that we rapidly protect at least 30 percent of the ocean by 2030, a global target also known as 30x30. Achieving this amount of protection will help save and recover marine biodiversity, protect the world’s largest carbon sink and help to combat the consequences of climate change.” Blue Marine Foundation
