Protecting
the ocean
Participating Organizations
We are a global community of organizations and initiatives who share a common goal to ensure that at least 30% of the global ocean is protected effectively by 2030.
Why 30×30?
30×30 is a global target to protect and conserve at least 30% of the world’s land, freshwater and ocean by 2030, adopted under the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework in 2022.
30×30 is the most ambitious conservation commitment ever made, but the science is clear: it is our only opportunity to safeguard the ocean’s biodiversity and the communities that depend on it. Achieving 30×30 will also help preserve the ocean’s ability to act as our greatest ally against the climate crisis.

Released ahead of the COP16 UN Biodiversity Conference, a new report, On track or off course? Assessing progress toward the 30×30 target in the ocean, reveals that most countries are falling short of their pledges to protect the ocean.
