TL;DR: It is reported that many MPAs failed to meet thresholds for effective and equitable management processes, with widespread shortfalls in staff and financial resources; continued global expansion of MPAs without adequate investment in human and financial capacity is likely to lead to sub-optimal conservation outcomes.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Coral reef futures clearly vary greatly among and within countries, indicating the projections warrant consideration in most reef areas during conservation and management planning.

TL;DR: Comprehensive coral abundance data from 2,584 Indo-Pacific reefs is compiled to evaluate the influence of 21 climate, social and environmental drivers on the ecology of reef coral assemblages and proposes a framework of three management strategies to protect, recover or transform coral reef management.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe MPAs as conservation tools intended to protect biodiversity, promote healthy and resilient marine ecosystems, and provide societal benefits, despite codification of MPAs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Incorporating larval dispersal into MPA design for both conservation and fisheries.
Nils C. Krueck,Gabby N. Ahmadia,Alison Green,Geoffrey P. Jones,Hugh P. Possingham,Cynthia Riginos,Eric A. Treml,Peter J. Mumby +7 more
TL;DR: It is found that the opportunity to balance these three dispersal attributes flexibly can help to prevent meta-population collapse, but also to ensure effective fisheries recovery, with average increases in the number of recruits at fishing grounds at least two times higher than achieved by standard habitat-based or ad-hoc MPA designs.
