The <\/span>5th International Marine Protected Areas Congress (IMPAC5) was held in Canada in order to discuss the solutions to address the Funding Gap of Marine Protected Areas(MPAs).<\/span><\/p>\n

What are Marine Protected Areas(MPAs)?<\/b><\/h3>\n

Currently, MPAs represent only about 6% of the ocean. Of this, 2.4% are fully and highly protected and 3.6% are highly protected.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Note:<\/b> Fully protected areas prevent extractive or destructive activities, while highly protected MPAs allow light extractive activities.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Significance of MPAs: <\/b>Marine protected areas help protect important habitats and representative samples of marine life and can assist in restoring the productivity of the oceans and avoiding further degradation.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2013 They are also sites for scientific study and can generate income through tourism and sustainable fishing.<\/span><\/p>\n

What are the key highlights from the IMPAC5 meet?<\/b><\/h4>\n

Roughly 10 million square kilometres of the ocean must be annually brought under Marine Protected Areas(MPA) to protect 30% of the world\u2019s ocean by 2030.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2013 Countries had set a target of protecting 30% of the planet\u2019s lands and oceans by 2030 at the 15th Conference of the Parties (COP15) to the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) held in 2022.<\/span><\/p>\n

As many as 70% of MPAs are underfunded.A well-managed and sufficiently funded MPA can restore good health to vulnerable ecosystems.<\/span><\/p>\n

The countries also discussed ways to comprehensively monitor the effectiveness of protected areas (PA) and other effective area-based conservation measures (OECMs) at the global level.<\/span><\/p>\n

Note: <\/b>OECMs are different from PAs.<\/span><\/p>\n
