Emerging Marine Monitoring Technologies Enable More Effective Management of Protected Areas | Biodiversité | Scoop.it

Creating large-scale marine protected areas (MPAs) can be a powerful way for governments to safeguard entire ecosystems. But the success of those MPAs in delivering conservation benefits depends on effective management. That includes monitoring—collecting and analyzing data—which is fundamental to understanding ongoing changes in ocean conditions and biodiversity, measuring the success of conservation strategies, and identifying paths to improve the management of protected areas.
