The Marine Conservation Institute is a mid-sized team of marine scientists and environmental policy advocates dedicated to protecting ocean life and biodiversity. Its primary aim is to establish a worldwide network of strongly protected marine areas, known as Blue Parks, and it maintains the Atlas of Marine Protection to document and support protection efforts. Based in Glen Ellen, California, the organization operates at the intersection of scientific research and policy advocacy to advance marine protections globally. Recent developments include expanding facilities to British Columbia, Canada, and participating in a historic agreement to establish a National Marine Conservation Area Reserve on the Central Coast of British Columbia. The group also notes openness to support from donors and prospective governance partners, reflecting its collaborative approach within the conservation community.
