Terrestrial

This 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.
