  • Assessing and improving social equity in marine conservation

    Open AccessMark Andrachuk, Nathan J Bennett et al.ARTICLEPARKS2025

    Social equity is increasingly recognised as a fundamental principle in marine conservation. Global conservation policies now contain commitments to equitable management and governance, yet practical guidance on how to understand and assess equity in marine conservation remains limited. In this methodological paper, we introduce our process for developing three conceptually grounded, practical and adaptable approaches for assessing equity in marin…

  • The Mangrove Restoration Tracker Tool

    Open AccessYasmine Gatt, Yasmine M Gatt et al.ARTICLEOne Earth2024

    Restoration is a key component of global and national efforts to combat ecosystem degradation, reduce biodiversity loss, and adapt to climate change, and there is currently an impetus to scale up restoration efforts. However, our ability to track progress toward restoration targets is limited by the lack of consistent and standardized data on objectives, interventions, and outcomes. To address this, a collaboration of conservation practitioners a…

  • Enabling conditions for effective marine spatial planning

    Open AccessRachel Zuercher, Natalie C Ban et al.ARTICLEMarine Policy2022

    As marine spatial planning (MSP) continues to gain global prominence as an approach to ocean governance, planners and other stakeholders are eager to evaluate its social and ecological outcomes and to better understand whether plans are achieving their intended results in an equitable and cost-efficient manner. While a plan’s outcomes for marine environments and coastal communities may be of particular interest, these results cannot be separated …

  • Marine protected and conserved areas in the time of Covid

    Open AccessCarol Phua, Dominic A Andradi‐Brown et al.ARTICLEPARKS2021

    The intersection of potential global targets and commitments for ocean conservation with the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 has resulted in an opportunity to rethink the future of marine area-based conservation tools, particularly for marine protected and conserved areas (MPCAs). As MPCAs continue to provide essential ecological, social and economic services, current approaches to establishing and managing these areas require an understanding of the f…
