Declining yields in many fisheries and decay of treasured marine habitats, such as coral reefs, has heightened interest in establishing a comprehensive system of marine protected areas (MPAs)-areas designated for special protection to enhance the management of marine resources. Therefore, there is an urgent need to evaluate how MPAs can be employed in the United States and internationally as tools to support specific conservation needs of marine and coastal waters. Marine Protected Areas compares conventional management of marine resources with proposals to augment these management strategies with a system of protected areas. The volume argues that implementation of MPAs should be incremental and adaptive, through the design of areas not only to conserve resources, but also to help us learn how to manage marine species more effectively.Marine parks and reservesMarine parks and reserves.333.78/4National Research Council (U.S.).Committee on the Evaluation, Design, and Monitoring Marine Reserves and Protected Areas in the United States.MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910965702303321Marine protected areas898654UNINA
