Overhauling Ocean Spatial Planning to Improve Marine Megafauna Conservation [PDF]

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2019
Tracking data have led to evidence-based conservation of marine megafauna, but a disconnect remains between the many 1000s of individual animals that have been tracked and the use of these data in conservation and management actions.
