UNESCO on Wednesday heaped praise on establishing a global biodiversity snapshot of marine species across 25 of the world´s most unique marine protected areas.
Spillover benefits from the world’s largest fully protected MPA
Previous research has cast doubt on the potential for marine protected areas (MPAs) to provide
refuge and fishery spillover benefits for migratory species as most MPAs are small relative to the
geographic range of these species.Call Number: [EL]Physical Description: 5 p.
Evidence that spillover from Marine Protected Areas benefits the spiny lobster (Panulirus interruptus) fishery in southern California
Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) are designed to enhance biodiversity and ecosystem services. Some
MPAs are also established to benefit fisheries through increased egg and larval production, or the
spillover of mobile juveniles and adultsCall Number: [EL]Physical Description: 9 p.
Climate Benefits from Establishing Marine Protected Areas Targeted at Blue Carbon solutions
Marine protected areas (MPAs) are recognized as highly effective tools for marine conservation. They may also play an important role in mitigating climate change. A variety of climate change solutions are rooted in the ocean, centered primarily around blue carbon, and the capacity of marine life to sequester carbon dioxide.

Beyond the boundaries: How Regulation-centered Marine Protected Area Information improves Ocean Protection Assessments
Comprehensive, spatially explicit data that include regulatory information are essential for evaluating the level of protection that marine protected areas (MPAs) and other marine managed areas (MMAs) provide to marine
life, and to inform progress towards ocean protection targetsCall Number: [EL]Physical Description: 11 p.
Mismatches in Scale between highly Mobile Marine Megafauna and Marine Protected Areas
Marine Protected areas (MPAs), particularly large MPAs, are increasing in number and size around the globe in part to facilitate the conservation of marine megafauna. Call Number: [EL]Physical Description: 17 p.

Climate Change, Coral Reef Ecosystems, and Management Options for Marine Protected Areas
Marine protected areas (MBA) provide place-based management of marine ecosystem through various degrees and types of protective actions. Habitats such as coral reefs are especially susceptible to degradation resulting from climate change, as evidenced by mass bleaching events over the past two decades.
Advancing social equity and through marine conservation
Substantial efforts and investments are being made to increase the scale and improve the effectiveness of marine conservation globally. Though it is mandated by international law and central to conservation policy, less attention has been given to how to operationalize social equity in and through the pursuit of marine conservation. In this article, we aim to bring greater attention to this topic through reviewing how social
equity can be better integrated in marine conservation policy and practice. Advancing
10th Pacific Islands Nature Conference 2020: Effective Marine Protected Marine
This Action Track session will provide a brief snapshot of the current state of knowledge on marine protected areas based on recent analyses conducted for the Oceania region. It will explore the human-ecological nexus and interaction in the context of MPAs, examine how some of the issues surrounding MPA management in the region being addressed, such as Illegal Unreported and Unregulated (IUU) fishing.
