Marine Conservation Institute is a team of highly-experienced marine scientists and environmental policy advocates dedicated to saving ocean life for us and future generations. Our goal is to help create a worldwide system of strongly protected areas — Blue Parks (BlueParks.org) — to safeguard marine biodiversity. To enhance marine protection efforts in the U.S. and around the globe, we also built the world’s most comprehensive online marine protected area database, the Atlas of Marine Protection (mpatlas.org). We welcome your support in the form of donations, prospective board members, fundraising, and other campaigns. We'd love to hear from you!
