| Abstract |
France plans to establish more than 20 new protected areas by 2022. In the French Southern and Antarctic Lands, for example, the country’s ecological defence council intends to create an MPA around the islands of Saint-Paul and Amsterdam and to increase protection of the Glorioso Islands’ MPA. Together, these will meet Macron’s objective for MPAs to cover 30% of France’s exclusive economic zone, and for one-third of these areas to be ‘strongly protected’. |
