These sites include coral reefs, underwater caves, headlands, and marine ecosystems that are vital for environmental health and species preservation. By inscribing these sites on the World Heritage List, UNESCO aims to raise awareness, promote conservation efforts, and ensure their long-term sustainability for future generations. The program supports international collaboration and emphasizes the importance of preserving our planet’s rich and diverse marine environments.
