Our oceans impact everyone, whether you live by the coast or in a landlocked area. Take the #Protect30x30 social media challenge to highlight the importance of marine protected areas and the impact the ocean has on all of our lives.
How to participate:
Share a post on social media telling the world the critical role the ocean plays in all of our lives and the importance of global action to protect 30% of the ocean by 2030.
Include this message along with photo of who youʼre protecting the ocean for (i.e. your friends, family, people you love, strangers, the world - we want to fill social media with the faces of real people who are impacted by the ocean; emphasizing the point that the ocean impacts us all!)
Use the hashtag #Protect30x30 and tag three friends to take the challenge!

Individual:
Did you know that only ~7% of the ocean is currently protected? ALL of our lives depend on a healthy ocean. That's why I'm taking the #Protect30x30 Challenge to call attention to our critical need to protect 30% of the ocean by 2030. We need to start NOW to ensure a healthy future for the planet and for all of us. Join me and share a picture of someone you're protecting the ocean for! Let's fill social media with REAL PEOPLE whose lives are impacted by the ocean together.
I nominate: @________, @________, and @________.
