Climate change is likely to severely limit the effectiveness of deep-sea ABMTs in the North Atlantic
ATLAS work package 7 presentation at ATLAS 3rd General Assembly. Dealing with the multiple and increasing pressures placed on the deep sea requires adequate governance and management systems, and a thorough evaluation of cumulative impacts grounded on sound science. In the North Atlantic, Area-Based...

In the North Atlantic, Area-Based Management Tools (ABMTs), including Marine Protected Areas (MPAs), Ecologically or Biologically Significant Areas (EBSAs) and other effective conservation measures, such as areas closed to protect Vulnerable Marine Ecosystems (VMEs), have been created in Areas Beyond National Jurisdiction (ABNJ).
