Funded Activity Summary
Incorporation of vulnerability and irreplaceability into marine protected area planning. The primary national benefit will be to better safeguard biological diversity by reducing extinction risk for marine species. This will be achieved through analysis of factors affecting extinction risk, and through the development of protocols to improve the siting of marine protected areas for conservation outcomes. A more effective National Representative System of Marine Protected Areas will be achieved through decreased extinction risk and lower opportunity costs. In addition, a quantitative baseline dataset will be obtained for evaluating long-term changes in threatened marine species populations, and the effectiveness of future management actions aimed to safeguard threatened species.Funded Activity Details
