US-based marine conservation group Protected Seas forms partnership with EMH systems in aims to develop the marine conservation industry through the expansion of data-sharing capabilities and improved environmental insights.

Protected Seas, known for their comprehensive database on marine protected zones, may exhibit their experience in identifying and managing protected zones through this agreement, assisting maritime enterprises in making correct manoeuvres, particularly in ecologically sensitive regions.

"Virgil Zetterlind, Director of Protected-Sea, said: “Compliance starts with understanding. Accessing the where and what of ocean regulations can be challenging on the water and we hope through this partnership with EMH we can help commercial shipping stay aware of the rules that apply and maximize compliance so that everyone can benefit from a healthy ocean”.

This partnership follows the release of the Protected Seas global interactive map which demonstrates 21,000 marine protected and managed areas across 220 countries and territories and in over 25 languages.

Along with the partnership the navigator map provides a worldwide perspective on marine life protections to aid in progress towards international conservation targets, such as targets set by UN Biodiversity Conference (COP 15) including safeguarding 30% of the global ocean by 2030.

EMH Systems known for producing cutting-edge solutions to environmental concerns in the marine domain, provides maritime operators with cutting-edge tools and services which allow operators to reduce their environmental effect, increase their efficiency, and comply with the significant laws.

Nagy said: "We are excited about this partnership with Protected-Seas. Working together enables us to maximize our collective expertise and data, catalyzing positive change within the commercial shipping industry. As the industry expands, it's crucial that conservation efforts keep pace. Our combined efforts present us with a unique opportunity to ensure this happens."
