Core data on marine protected areas presented in this content management system were extracted from the 2007 World Database on Protected Areas (The WDPA is a joint product of UNEP and the IUCN, prepared by UNEP-WCMC and the IUCN WCPA working with Governments, the Secretariats of MEAs and collaborating NGOs). Updates to the core data will be synchronised with the WDPA on a regular basis. The boundary information shown in Google Earth has been simplified and is for illustration purposes only. All boundary data uploaded through this content management system will be shared in its original form with the WDPA.
