The UK led the world by establishing the Blue Belt Programme to protect our oceans in 2016, a landmark achievement for the environment and biodiversity.

Covering millions of square kilometres, the Blue Belt is the world's largest marine protection network.

Our planet's future depends on the health of our oceans.

The Blue Belt Programme programme is leading the way, with the world's largest marine protected area network.

This means more space for ocean species to thrive, free from illegal fishing and detrimental resource extraction.
