Global Ocean Alliance: 30by30 initiative
The Global Ocean Alliance is a 73 country strong alliance, led by the UK.
The Global Ocean Alliance (GOA) champions ambitious ocean action within the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD).
In particular, the GOA supports the target to protect at least 30% of the global ocean in Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) and Other Effective area-based Conservation Measures (OECMs) by 2030. This is known as the ‘30by30 target’.
MPAs and OECMs will provide a higher level of protection than currently exists and allow both the marine environment and sustainable marine economies to thrive.
