Gonçalves, Kirsten Grorud-Colvert. 2025. Assessing South Africa’s marine protected area quality and progress towards conservation goals: An application of The MPA Guide framework. Marine Policy. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.marpol.2024.106513
Marine protected areas (MPAs) are a widely used area-based conservation tool for preventing or reversing the loss of marine biodiversity and sustaining the social-ecological systems that it underpins. Global targets for ocean protection typically track the extent of ocean area within MPAs. However, understanding the effectiveness of protection is crucial, as the level of protection and associated benefits for biodiversity and ...

Over 80% of the European Union’s marine protected area only marginally regulates human activities. One Earth. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.oneear.2024.07.010
To address the ongoing deterioration of marine ecosystems and its consequences on livelihood, the European Union (EU) now aims to achieve 30% coverage of marine protected areas (MPAs), with 10% under strict protection per region. Here, we provide the first assessment of protection levels of EU MPAs, describing the level of legal restrictions of activities using the MPA Guide framework. While MPAs covered 11.4% of EU national w...

Regulations of activities and protection levels in marine protected areas of the European Union: A dataset compiled from multiple data sources. Data in Brief. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.dib.2024.111177
The dataset gathers available regulations of human activities and protection levels of Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) of the European Union (EU). The MPA list and polygons were extracted from the MPA database of the European Environment Agency (EEA) and completed with available zoning systems (all were filtered for their marine area reported under the Marine Strategy Framework Directive). Fully-overlapping MPAs were merged. In ...
