The Marine Conservation Biology Institute is a Washington, DC-based organization dedicated to protecting the ocean and its biodiversity. They work towards establishing and strengthening the protection of vital ocean ecosystems by collaborating with community leaders, policy-makers, and technical experts. Through initiatives like the Marine Protection Atlas and Blue Parks, they track and evaluate global protection efforts, incentivize conservation excellence, and unite the world's best protected areas in a strategic network to save marine life.
With a mission to safeguard marine biodiversity and build ocean resilience, the Marine Conservation Biology Institute advocates for the protection of at least 30% of the ocean. They highlight the importance of fully highly protected areas and work towards achieving global conservation targets. Through scientific research, publications, and advocacy efforts, they aim to raise awareness about the imperiled state of the ocean and encourage action to address issues such as climate change, destructive fishing practices, and deep-sea mining.
