Protected seas Navigator | Biodiversité | Scoop.it

The most comprehensive regulatory database for understanding the legal management of Marine Protected Areas (MPAs).

Navigator offers not just a guide to the location of MPAs but also includes the actual regulations for marine protection. Management measures are summarized for layperson use so that fishers and boaters on the water can be aware of rules and regulations where they are located. Additionally, Navigator codes over 20 fishing gears and human activities and states whether these are prohibited, restricted, allowed, or unknown, and lists focal species where identified.
