Resource summary

MPA's
  1. USES OF MARINE ENVIRONMENT
    1. Use of marine environment increasing as Earth's finite resources are used up on land
      1. Oil and Gas, Fishing, Aggregates, Wind Farms, Cables, Transport, Disposal of Waste, Recreation
      2. Some areas used more than others
        1. Can still fish in MPA's, the term means different things to different people
          1. Even a "no take zone" usually means that just bottom trawling is not allowed
        2. MANAGEMENT OF MARINE ENVIRONMENT
          1. Convention of Biological Diversity (CBD) - UKBAP (10%) OSPAR Convention (30%) EC Habitats and Birds Directives NATURA zoo Network, SACS
            1. Marine and Coastal Access Act - establishment of MCZ's
              1. Spacial Area Management Networks
                1. "Enables" designation of MPA's, not requires
                2. Every one of these calls for protected areas
                  1. Marine management organisation of UK
                    1. CBD and OSPAR both recommend to establish by 2020 a network or system of MPA'S
                      1. World Summit of Sustainable Development
                        1. agreed to establish MPA's representative networks - protect examples of everything not just endangered things
                        2. Suggested network of MPA's in North Sea - heavily used area
                        3. Need an ecologically coherent and representative network of MPA's
                          1. Important that areas are connected, populations not isolated.
                            1. Recommended that 30% of UK's EEZ established as no take reserves closed to commercial fishing
                              1. This will conserve 70% of species - using species accumulation curves
                                1. This will maintain ecosystem function - some niches redundant, if a dominant species is lost another will take its place
                                  1. Will still lose rare species, what is the conservation objective?
                            2. IUCN (World Conservation Union) sets definition
                              1. Basically an area of sea that has some protection
                                1. Divides protected areas into 6 types offering different levels of protection. Depends on objectives
