Global Conservation has just published a new Impact Report about our work to protect the world's most endangered marine national parks and UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
Over the past five years, we have deployed Global Park Defense in eight global Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) and six in California and Hawai’i, our technology proving ground. Based on this success, our goal is to scale up to protect 100 MPAs in the next ten years.
For many years, countries established new Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) with great fanfare, but few are actually protected against illegal fishing, reef destruction and marine wildlife poaching. Without real enforcement and penalties for our existing MPAs, the oceans will continue to be ravaged.
Our goal is to deploy Global Park Defense with Marine Monitor radars in every capable endangered MPA in the world. We work to secure critical support from donors like you – families, foundations, dive groups and others to stop illegal fishing, bombing, poisoning and reef destruction.
