Building Resilience: Exploring the Role of MPAs in the Face of Changing Ocean Conditions
Session ID#: 84979
Session Description:
As ocean conditions become increasingly variable, unpredictable, and unprecedented, anticipating and addressing impacts to valuable marine resource has becoming a growing challenge. Marine protected areas (MPAs) are recognized around the world as an effective strategy for marine conservation and ocean management. From individual MPAs to networks, regional to national, reserves, conservation areas, and sanctuaries, the type and number of protected ocean areas has grown dramatically in the past decade. As the effects of climate change on marine ecosystems have come more sharply into focus, scientific understanding of the role of MPAs may play in building ecosystem resilience has increased. This session invites submissions that explore the role of MPAs in imparting or enhancing resilience of species, ecosystems, and/or communities at the local, regional, national, or international level. Of particular interest will be innovative and novel technological and scientific approaches that can be applied to MPA management, especially within the context of changing ocean conditions, and that lend themselves to interactive data visualization and graphics.
