Blue Park Awards recognize outstanding marine protected areas (MPAs) that are safeguarding life in the sea. Nominees for the award go through a rigorous assessment using Blue Parks science-based criteria. They are the MPAs that are in the right places, with the right rules, and the right management to effectively protect marine wildlife. We are thrilled to announce the 2022 Blue Park Award nominees.

    **"The 2025 Blue Park nominees are impressive, but where’s the focus on *local* green spaces? Big cities get all the attention—what about our struggling neighborhoods? Let’s demand equity!"**
