Outdoor: The World's 6 Newest Marine Parks to Visit
In Honor of World Oceans Day
The 6 Newest Marine Parks to Visit in Honor of World Oceans Day
The ocean covers more than 70 percent of our planet. It generates most of the oxygen we breathe, regulates our climate, and sustains an astonishing array of life.
One of the most effective ways to protect our oceans is by establishing marine protected areas (MPAs) and ocean-based national parks. These designated zones help preserve biodiversity, restore habitats, and safeguard essential ecosystems. In the past year alone, six new MPAs have been created, from the deep, frigid waters off British Columbia to the sun-warmed shallows along the coast of Peru.
To celebrate World Oceans Day tomorrow, take a look at the world’s six newest marine protected areas and how to visit each one.
