WELL CONNECTED: Protecting the Atlantic High Seas through an ocean-wide sanctuary network

no name given · Greenpeace International · 2026-10-18 · Amsterdam · Source

A connected network of ocean sanctuaries in the Atlantic can effectively protect threatened species and accelerate the inadequate pace of ocean protection, while governments fail to meet their existing commitments.

A connected network of ocean sanctuaries in the high seas areas of the Atlantic would protect the vital migration routes of leatherback turtles, shield more than 35% of the danger zones to which they are exposed through industrial fishing, and reduce the mortality risk of the threatened species

The text presents a Greenpeace report that proposes a connected network of ocean sanctuaries in the high seas areas of the Atlantic. This network would cover 31% of the high seas areas and connect important biodiversity hotspots. It would shield more than 35% of the danger zones for leatherback turtles from industrial fishing. In addition, it would protect almost 45% of the danger zones for humpback whales from ship collisions. The report shows that the current pace of progress would take 265 years to protect 30% of the ocean. Governments are called upon to close the gap between commitments and action. The text is written as a press release or blog post on the Greenpeace website and refers to further contributions on ocean topics.
