Indicator 14.5.1 (a)
Indicator 14.5.1 (a)
Average proportion of Marine Key Biodiversity Areas (KBAs) covered by protected areas, %
The indicator Coverage of protected areas in relation to marine areas shows temporal trends in the mean percentage of each important site for marine biodiversity (i.e., those that contribute significantly to the global persistence of biodiversity) that is covered by designated protected areas.
INDICATOR 14.5.1 (a)

The indicator Coverage of protected areas in relation to marine areas shows temporal trends in the mean percentage of each important site for marine biodiversity (i.e., those that contribute significantly to the global persistence of biodiversity) that is covered by designated protected areas.
TARGET 14.5
By 2020, conserve at least 10 per cent of coastal and marine areas, consistent with national and international law and based on the best available scientific information.
GOAL 14
Conserve and sustainably use the oceans, seas and marine resources for sustainable development

INDICATOR 14.5.1 (a)
Average proportion of Marine Key Biodiversity Areas (KBAs) covered by protected areas. The indicator Coverage of protected areas in relation to marine areas shows temporal trends in the mean percentage of each important site for marine biodiversity (i.e., those that contribute significantly to the global persistence of biodiversity) that is covered by designated protected areas.
TARGET 14.5
By 2020, conserve at least 10 per cent of coastal and marine areas, consistent with national and international law and based on the best available scientific information.
GOAL 14
Conserve and sustainably use the oceans, seas and marine resources for sustainable development
