Establishing marine protected areas in a changing climate

2025 Wenzel, Lauren | Cannizzo, Zachary John | Stephenson, F. (Fabrice) | Orchard, S. | Clarkson, Stephanie | Wheater, Emma | Howe, Steffan | Kirkland, Amanda | Becker, Danielle |

This guidance aims to inform the planning, design, and implementation of new and expanded MPAs, OECMs, areas conserved by Indigenous peoples, and networks of protected and conserved areas at the community, national, and international levels. It focuses on why it is important to consider climate change in MPA1 planning, and how new areas can be established in ways that build climate resilience, adaptation, and mitigation.

Guidelines for applying the IUCN protected area management categories to marine protected areas

2019

The development of this second edition of these guidelines was in part a response to evidence of the widespread incorrect application of the categories to marine protected areas (MPAs). Marine management and sustainable fisheries management are critical elements of good oceans management, but are not the same as protected areas management, where the primary focus is conservation of nature.
