Description:

"Overfishing, degradation and loss of key habitats due to local and global threats are undermining food security, livelihoods and long term sustainability of tropical marine ecosystems. If well designed, marine protected areas (MPAs) can reduce local threats, and contribute to sustaining fisheries and conserving biodiversity in the face of global threats such as climate change. Existing biophysical design principles take account of biological and physical processes to recommend how to design MPA networks to achieve fisheries, biodiversity or climate change objectives. While there are many similarities among existing principles for achieving each of these objectives, there are some differences that provide conflicting advice. This document was developed in response to numerous requests from field practitioners for concise, user friendly advice regarding how to design MPA networks to achieve fisheries, biodiversity and climate change objectives simultaneously. Here we synthesize and reconcile existing approaches to provide an integrated set of 15 biophysical principles that field practitioners can use to design MPA networks to achieve all three objectives simultaneously, based primarily on a detailed technical report by Fernandes et al 2012. These principles are designed to be used in combination with important social, economic and political considerations in marine spatial planning"--Executive summary.
