The designation of two new extensive Marine Parks was announced as a pledge of the Greek Government on the occasion of the 9th Our Ocean Conference. One of the questions that arises is, what will be the exact borders of these parks?
Our Ocean Conference 2024, Greece
On the occasion of the Greek government’s announcements ahead of the 9th Our Ocean Conference, environmental organisations emphasize the need of science based, definite and ambitious pledges.
During the IUCN (International Union for the Conservation of Nature) International Conference held in Marseille, September 2021, the Greek Prime Minister announced certain commitments for the protection of the marine environment, which unfortunately remain unfulfilled.
The 9th Our Ocean Conference, organised in Athens, Greece, on April 15-17, 2024, and the pledges that will be announced, form a great opportunity that will show that Greece demonstrates its commitments for the protection of the marine environment in practice.

Letter to the Minister for the protection of the Hellenic Trench
Will Greece and its Prime Minister commit to the protection of the Greek Trench during the 9th Our Oceans Conference, which will be held in Athens, Greece?
8 Environmental Organisations once again highlight the importance of the Hellenic Trench, asking for the Prime Minister’s pledge to create a Marine Protected Area in the Hellenic Trench.
The ecological value of the Hellenic Trench as a critical habitat for many protected and threatened marine species mandates the protection of this unique ecosystem. That is why the organizations request the creation of an MPA in the Hellenic Trench including the enforcement of specific measures for the preservation of wildlife, like the prohibition of gas and oil exploration and exploitation, including seismic surveys, as well as the regulation of navigation to avoid ship collisions with marine mammals.
