Progress report for
Achieving the promise of 10% ocean protection by 2020
Achievement at a glance
Due to the efforts of many member-states, the current level of ocean protection is 7.6% according to the World Database of Protected Areas. This includes 4.8% of implemented and existing MPA\'s, plus another 1.3% pending, and another 1.3% pledged. It is vital that all the pledged and pending areas are fully implemented as soon as possible. It seems quite likely that the ten percent target figure will be achieved by the end of 2020.Beneficiaries
