Greece's environment and energy minister says his country will be able to create two new major marine parks in the Ionian Sea and the Aegean Sea by the end of this year. The minister spoke during an international ocean conference in Athens. The parks will cover more than 17% of Greek territorial waters.

FILE - The multihued waters of the Aegean Sea sparkle by the islet of Kounoupa off the island of Astypalea, Greece, on Aug. 30, 2021. Greece aims to create two large marine parks as part of a 780 million euro program to protect biodiversity and marine ecosystems, with the plans to be formally announced at an international oceans conference starting in Athens Tuesday.

The park will aim to protect seabirds and will cover more than 8,000 square kilometers or just over 6.6% of Greece’s territorial waters.
