Pacific Island Marine Protected Area Projects

The Pacific
Islands region is marked by recent success and significant momentum in the creation of MPAs.
MPAs are safe havens for marine resources and can serve as living laboratories that are crucial to scientific research and discoveries that benefit humankind.

Projects are limited to Pacific Island countries eligible to receive Economic Support Funds:
