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