CCB Position Paper on Marine Protected Areas (MPAs)

"From ambition to actions: How can effective protection and management of Marine Protected and Strictly Protected Areas be achieved in the Baltic Sea?"

A functioning network of MPAs in the Baltic Sea is particularly significant, as it creates interconnected sanctuaries that collectively enhance the overall health of the marine environment. Such a network is a crucial instrument for conserving the Baltic Sea as we know it, safeguarding the unique biodiversity, sustaining local economies, and providing natural beauty for generations of life to come in and around the Baltic.

Structure of the CCB´s position paper on MPAs:
- Background
- Marine protection, strict protection, and biodiversity
- The shortfalls of MPA designation and management
- CCB recommendations
