Applying Marine Protected Area Frameworks to Areas beyond National Jurisdiction
Marine protected areas (MPAs) can provide a range of ecological benefits. Frameworks—including the IUCN protected area categories and The MPA Guide —offer tools towards evaluating an MPA’s objectives, types, Level of Protection, and potential effectiveness. However, the majority of MPAs exist in nat...

Marine protected areas (MPAs) can provide a range of ecological benefits.
