Home›Protected Area with Sustainable Use of Natural Resources›Marine or Terrestrial›MarineBrowse ByMarineThis dimension marks whether a protected area is marine or terrestrial. Wikipedia notes that, at sea, "there are 14,688 Marine Protected Areas (MPAs), covering approximately 10.2% of coastal and marine areas and 4.12% of global ocean areas," a realm entirely separate from protection on land. Browsing by realm keeps ocean reserves apart from land based parks and reserves.FactsMarineSourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)FactsComparisonIUCN Category CodeWell-attestedVI - Protected Area with Sustainable Use of Natural Resources 1MarineFilter Results7 entriesIUCN CategoryAllProtected Areas with Sustainable Use of Natural Resources (World) (7)National Designation TypeAllMarine Natural Park (1)Marine Park (1)Marine Protected Area (3)Marine Sanctuary (1)ContinentAllAfrica (1)Australia (4)North America (1)CountryAllAustralia (1)Mauritius (1)Palau (1)United States (1)Establishment EraAll1975 (1)1987 (1)1992 (1)2015 (1)2022 (1)Area BandAll1.300000 (1)2435.000000 (1)15783.390000 (1)318140.000000 (1)343966.000000 (1)502538.780000 (1)Managing AuthorityAllNOAA National Ocean Service (1)Parks Australia (1)Governance TypeAllGovernance by Government (4)Shared Governance (1)International DesignationAllUNESCO World Heritage Site (2)Show ResultsBrowseCompareSelect all 7Great Barrier Reef Marine ParkMarineMayotte Marine Natural ParkMarineMonterey Bay National Marine SanctuaryMarineNingaloo Marine ParkMarineNiue Nukutuluea Multiple-Use Marine ParkMarinePalau National Marine SanctuaryMarineSt. BrandonMarineSources1.
