Fig. 3: Three-dimensional distribution of marine conservation efforts.

From: 3D ocean assessments reveal that fisheries reach deep but marine protection remains shallow

Fig. 3

Protection coverage across depth realms per ecoregions for marine protected areas (MPAs) of all IUCN categories and other effective area-based conservation measures (OECMs) (upper panel) and for MPAs of Ia/Ib IUCN categories only (lower panel). Void cells indicate depth realms that do not occur in a given ecoregion. The last row of each panel (‘total’) represents the total protection coverage (%) across depths in a given ecoregion.
