Help Shape the Future of the Global MPA Workforce

Adequate staffing is one of the most important factors in realizing truly effective marine protections. As nations take action towards 30x30 and new area-based protections are established around the world, we must keep pace on the capacity front to ensure these protections are delivering their promised ecological and socio-economic benefits.

In partnership with the Marine Conservation Institute (MPAtlas), IUCN World Commission on Marine Protected Areas, eOceans, and Leibniz-IZW, the Blue Nature Alliance has launched a study to assess the current state of the global MPA workforce and identify opportunities to address capacity gaps. Any staff members, contractors, or organizations representing a specific MPA are encouraged to participate. View this webinar – The Global MPA Workforce: Building the Backbone of 30×30 – to learn more about the initiative. 

Complete the survey to share insights that will help us assess the global MPA workforce and what’s needed to achieve 30x30.
