00:00Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis has announced the creation of two new marine parks in the Ionian and South Aegean Sea.

00:10The Greek government said the aim of the marine parks is to protect and manage ecosystems and species,

00:16while also reintroducing human activities compatible with environmental protection.

00:22These parks will be among the largest marine protected areas in the entire Mediterranean.

00:31They will allow us to meet the target of protecting 30% of our territorial waters by 2030, way ahead of schedule.

00:40And perhaps, most importantly, inside these marine zones, the hugely damaging practice of bottom trolling will be banned.

00:48Working with local communities, local fishermen, scientists, but also global partners,

00:53we will make these parks examples of what is possible.

00:57By doing this, Greece can be a voice for the sea, in Europe, but also beyond.

01:03Because when we protect our ocean, we protect our own future.

01:08The two parks include and integrate scattered protected areas that are in the European Natura 2000 network,

01:14or in the process of being included.
