About

Marine protected areas play a vital role in addressing climate change, safeguarding ecosystems, and promoting research and education.

Ocean acidification; overfishing; marine heat waves; expansion of oxygen minimum zones; marine plastic pollution; deep sea mining- the threats to our ocean environment are many; however, there is a growing international consensus that these are global problems requiring large-scale global solutions.

To meet these growing challenges, several international initiatives, both by governments and eNGOs have been launched. Most recently, the successful UN negotiation for a new international treaty for the governance of the high seas was concluded in 2023 with a goal to protect 30% of the world’s oceans by 2030.

Developing and maintaining these areas will require collaboration between governments, local communities, scientists, and conservation organizations.

Students participating in this program can expect the following:

  • Conduct research and contribute to on going data sets

  • Contribute to marine conservation and policy efforts

  • Cultivate a comparative approach to understanding marine protected area management strategies
