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.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors treat MPAs as "policy experiments" and employ the tools of impact evaluation as a way for policy-relevant science to inform and advance science-based MPAs policy.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors searched 11 academic citation databases, two search engines and 30 organisational websites for relevant articles using search terms tested with a library of 20 relevant articles and included articles were screened for relevance against predefined inclusion criteria at title, abstract and full text levels according to a published protocol.

TL;DR: It is argued that area-based prioritization risks unintended perverse consequences and that the focus of protected area target development should shift from quantity to quality.

TL;DR: In this article, a conceptual model to map the degree of human dependence on marine ecosystems based on the magnitude of the benefit, susceptibility of people to a loss of that benefit, and the availability of alternatives is presented.
