The Asia-Pacific region, together with Europe, is trailing behind other regions of the world in protecting their marine areas. In 2012, the share of protected marine areas in the Asia-Pacific region was 7.9% of territorial waters, compared with 9.2% globally. Africa’s share (7.2%) of protected marine areas is even lower than that of the Asia-Pacific region.
