Marine Protected Areas Day recognises the important role of MPAs in ocean conservation for both people and nature.
what is mpa day?
MPA Day helps us collectively appreciate the value of MPAs and how they benefit both us and the incredible marine biodiversity they are designed to protect.
It’s a day to share stories and information about why and how we need to conserve our oceans and keep building support for MPAs. We hope that MPA Day will help people worldwide recognise the important role of MPAs in preserving our oceans for both people and nature.
When & where did MPA begin?
The inaugural Marine Protected Areas (MPA) Day, was held on 1 August 2021 in South Africa. Since then, MPA Day has grown, and has now become a truly international celebration. Everyone is welcome to celebrate these "nature reserves of the sea" with a number of exciting activities planned at home and abroad.
‘Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it's the only thing that ever does.’
