Our new #PNAS paper comparing different types of marine protected areas (MPAs) shows that well-managed fished MPAs can provide strong conservation benefits, even similar to no-fishing MPAs pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…





We developed a set of synthesized marine protected area design guidelines to help streamline conservation planning and decision making to achieve desired objectives. Read the paper in @ConservationSP and check out the summary below 🧵conbio.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/cs…



New paper! We discuss how #MarineProtectedAreas (#MPAs) with diverse fishing restrictions achieve gains for nature. We recommend that countries blend locally-appropriate protection levels — from full to partial protection — to achieve conservation goals. cc to #IMPAC5 👇🧵(1/9)
