The marine areas of the Osa Peninsula in Costa Rica are among the most biodiverse places on the planet, yet only a small portion of these waters are protected.

Innoceana was able to get the marine conservation organization Mission Blue to designate these waters as a “Hope Spot”, a step towards an ambitious goal: to create the Osa Marine Corridor Marine Protected Area.

Our impact: In December 2021, Innoceana achieved designation of the Osa Peninsula as a “Hope Spot” for the world.
