Polygons of formal protected areas in South Africa

This GIS layer represents the polygon layer for focus areas for offshore protection. The focus areas for offshore protection are geographic areas with high biodiversity priorities and are identified through systematic planning. They were developed to address the inshore bias in South Africa’s protected area system, support ecosystem based management and spatial planning the offshore environment as well as to identify potential network of offshore MPAs. Ten focus areas for offshore protection were identified.
