Abstract:
Evaluating the current status of marine protected area (MPA) implementation and management can lead to improved MPA effectiveness and performance. Strengthening MPA management to conserve coral reef resources remains a pillar of NOAA's Coral Reef Conservation Program (CRCP) efforts both domestically and internationally...With its focus on conservation of coral reefs and the human communities that depend upon them, a priority goal of the CRCP is to support effective implementation and management of marine protected areas (MPAs) and ecological networks of MPAs that protect key coral reef ecosystem components and functions. This MPA Management Assessment Checklist was developed as a simple tool to assess the management of MPAs in priority coral reef sites in U.S. jurisdictions and internationally, areas important to the CRCP and jurisdictional partners. This checklist will allow the CRCP to better understand the needs of its partners in the MPA management community and help managers build and/or maintain the management capacity necessary for successful implementation of their MPA management goals and objectives"--Page [1].
