Blue Parks

Blue Parks (formerly the Global Ocean Refuge System, or GLORES) is a conservation initiative launched by the nonprofit Marine Conservation Institute in 2017. The program recognizes marine protected areas (MPAs) that meet criteria intended to promote long-term biodiversity conservation. The initiative is overseen by the Marine Conservation Institute with guidance from the Blue Parks Science Council, an international body of marine scientists.
