, 2019 Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) are a key tool in ecosystem-based management, implementing a spatial approach to biodiversity conservation in the oceans. While the use of protected areas to conserve and/or protect resources has a long history, including centuries of royal hunting areas and traditionally managed areas, the modern conceptualization of ...

A Global Assessment of Climate Change Adaptation in Marine Protected Area Management Plans
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021 Marine protected area (MPA) efficacy is increasingly challenged by climate change. Experts have identified clear climate change adaptation principles that MPA practitioners can incorporate into MPA management; however, adoption of these principles in MPA

Understanding Persistent Non-compliance in a Remote, Large-Scale Marine Protected Area
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021 Area coverage of large-scale marine protected areas (MPAs) (LSMPAs, > 100,000 km2) is rapidly increasing globally. Their effectiveness largely depends on successful detection and management of non-compliance. However, for LSMPAs this can be difficult due

3D MODELS COMPARISON OF COMPLEX SHELL IN UNDERWATER AND DRY ENVIRONMENTS [PDF]
The International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences, 2015 In marine biology the shape, morphology, texture and dimensions of the shells and organisms like sponges and gorgonians are very important parameters. For example, a particular type of gorgonian grows every year only few millimeters; this estimation was ...

Protected area downgrading, downsizing, and degazettement (PADDD) in marine protected areas
Marine Policy, 2020 Marine protected areas (MPAs) are foundational to global marine biodiversity conservation efforts. Recently, countries have rapidly scaled up their MPA networks to meet targets established by the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD).
