10 Proven Strategies to Improve Your Lead Conversion RateTo meet the landmark commitment struck last year to protect 30% of the ocean by 2030, the world’s nations will have to designate many new and large marine protected areas. But there’s also a different, less familiar option for meeting that target: “other effective area-based conservation measures,” or OECMs, areas that are not necessarily designed to protect biodiversity — they just happen to do so.
“MPAs are frequently regarded as delusory and top-down,” Arthur Tuda, WIOMSA’s executive secretary, told Mongabay in an email. “OECMS would provide a wide range of options for balancing marine use while also providing conservation outcomes.” A fisherman pulls in a barracuda at sunset on the waters of the Casamance River, Senegal, in 2018.

Africa has few marine OECMs, only 10 in Morocco and two in South Africa. But Marnewick said the wheels have begun to turn, with African countries now revising theirto align with the framework signed in December in Montreal and building “30×30 roadmaps.” He said he expects they’ll be officially designating OECMs by 2026 or 2027.
