The Global Proportion of Habitats Protected index (GPHPI). GPHPI illustrates the contribution of jurisdictions to the global coverage of six marine and coastal habitats by PCAs, ranging from yellow-green (low contribution) to dark green (high contribution). The GPHPI is calculated by taking the average of each habitat specific GPHPI presented in Supplementary Information 1. Habitats that do not occur in the jurisdiction’s extent are not included in the calculation. The distribution of the index is highly right-skewed, with a few jurisdictions with comparatively very high scores and many jurisdictions with low scores. The ABNJ index value is not depicted for clarity but is 0.0087. The GPHPI hypothetically ranges from 0 to 1, but only 0 to 0.05 is shown here due to no jurisdictions scoring higher than 0.05.
