At the 8th Conference of the Parties (COP8) to the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD), held in Curitiba, Brazil over 20 - 31 March 2006, the I-Kiribati Minister of MELAD announced the establishment of the Phoenix Islands Protected Area (PIPA).

Marine Protected Areas. The IUCN (2009) defines a protected area as “an area of land and/or sea especially dedicated to the protection and maintenance of biological diversity, and of natural and associated cultural resources, and managed through legal or other effective means.” Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) in the Fram Strait region include national parks, nature reserves, wetlands of international importance, plant protected areas, and bird sanctuaries located in Svalbard, Norway, and eastern Greenland (Governor of Svalbard 2008). These areas are protected because they are considered to be areas of significant environmental and biological importance. While four MPAs are located along Greenland’s eastern coast bordering Fram Strait, only one, the Northeast Greenland National Park, was designated specifically to protect marine species, including marine mammals; the others were designated to protect coastal wetlands. This large MPA, designated in 1974, is 972,000 km2 in size, of which 110,600 km2 of the area is strictly marine (Table 2-2) (Figure 2-6) (Wood 2007, Xxxx 2011). The Northeast Greenland National Park is the world’s largest national park, and although once known for its large cetacean population, due to exploitation of this resource, the number of marine mammals is now significantly decreased (Xxxx 2011). The Norwegian government has protected the ecology and outstanding wildlife populations of Svalbard, as it is considered one of the last “true” Arctic wildlife areas. A network of more than 13 MPAs protect over 41,000 km2 of Svalbard’s coastal waters (Xxxx 2005, Xxxx 2007). The largest of the Svalbard MPAs, at 36,691km2, is Northeast Svalbard National Reserve (Table 2-2). In 2003, the maritime boundaries of Svalbard were extended from 7.4 km to 22.2 km, adding some 41,000 km2 of additional protected marine waters for a total estimated at more than 72,000 km2 of marine protected areas (Xxxx 2011). In the waters of the Svalbard MPAs, cetaceans cannot be hunted, although migrating marine mammal species, such as minke whales and harp seals, are not included in this protection and can be hunted (Xxxx 2005).
