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. 606 $aMarine parks and reserves 615 0$aMarine parks and reserves. 676 $a333.78/4 712 02$aNational Research Council (U.S.).$bCommittee on the Evaluation, Design, and Monitoring Marine Reserves and Protected Areas in the United States. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910965702303321 996 $aMarine protected areas$9898654 997 $aUNINA
