Establishing Marine Protected Networks
For conservationists
and natural resource managers, identifying the conservation
actions needed to establish MPA networks can be a difficult
process, but including concerns outside their immediate sphere
of experience can be even more challenging and complex.This
is where this report comes in. It seeks to capture merging
international best practice on the full range of considerations
needed to build such networks.

High Seas Marine Protected Areas
The High Seas comprise over 50 % of the world’s ocean and lie beyond the jurisdiction of any nation. Vital to the earth’s biosphere, the High Seas are increasingly subject to human-induced stresses. This edition of PARKS addresses the opportunities and challenges of creating representative networks of High Seas Marine Protected Area (MPAs).

| Incorporating
Marine Protected Areas into Integrated Ocean
and Coastal Management: Principles and Guidelines
The principles and guidelines
developed by IUCN and NOAA are addressed
to marine protected areas and coastal managers
and are intended to promote better understanding
and recognition of the linkages between
MPAs and the wider coastal and marine area
and of the need to establish effective incentives
and institutional arrangements to manage
marine protected areas in the broader context
of integrated coastal and ocean management
frameworks. The guidelines also suggest
ways to implement, in an enhanced way, existing
management tools to improve the incorporation
of MPAs into the planning and management
of coastal and marine areas.

"HOW
IS YOUR MARINE PROTECTED AREA DOING?"
A PUBLICATION ON EVALUATING MANAGEMENT
EFFECTIVENESS ON MPAs (PRODUCED BY IUCN, WWF
and NOAA)
The guidebook provides a field-tested,
step-by-step process for planning and evaluating
the management effectiveness of MPAs. It lists
42 MPA-specific indicators that MPA managers
can choose to use for evaluating their site.
The book draws on the work of the MPA Management
Effectiveness Initiative, shaped by IUCN's
World Commission on Protected Areas (WCPA)
- Marine and World Wildlife Fund for Nature
(WWF). The David and Lucile Packard Foundation
and the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration (NOAA) supported the initiative.

A Global Representative
System of Marine Protected Areas
Four volume set of publications that provide
an inventory global MPAs divided into the
thirteen Marine regions. The system contains
maps of existing MPAs as well as proposed
new MPAs; an overview of marine biodiversity
and biogeography in each region; data on existing
MPAs; justification for selection of priority
areas; identification of further information
required for a network of MPAs to cover each
region's marine biological and geographic
diversity.
