The conservation metadata gap
Research advances and conservation needs for the protection of the Salas y Gómez and Nazca ridges
Assessments of expected MPA outcomes can inform and improve biodiversity conservation
Global, regional, and national targets have been set to protect and conserve at least 30 % of the ocean by 2030, in recognition of the important benefits of healthy ocean ecosystems, including for human well-being. Many of these targets recognize the importance of the quality, not just quantity, of areas that are included in the 30 %, such as marine protected areas (MPAs). For example, the Convention on Biological Diversity’s Global Biodiversity …
Science advice for international governance – An evidence-based perspective on the role of SCAR in the Antarctic Treaty System
Knowledge brokers are essential for science-based international governance. Recently, the objectivity of the Antarctic Treaty System’s (ATS) primary knowledge broker, the Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research (SCAR), has been questioned, both in discussions at ATS meetings and now in a recent published perspective. Much of the concern is based on a misunderstanding of SCAR’s history, structure and internal operations, and of its interactions…
Protecting the Salas y Gomez and Nazca Ridges
Seamount ecosystems host ecologically important species, including many that are found nowhere else on Earth. The Salas y Gomez and Nazca Ridges, two adjacent seamount chains in the Southeast Pacific, are biodiversity hotspots marked by the highest levels of marine endemism on Earth. Historically isolated from many human activities, this region has produced a unique biodiversity and provides an excellent opportunity for protecting a global biodiv…
Tying policy to system
A central objective of the Ross Sea region Marine Protected Area (MPA) is to protect areas important to the life cycle of Antarctic toothfish (Dissostichus mawsoni), a top fish predator and by far the region’s most important commercial species. Juvenile toothfish predominate in deep basins along the inner continental shelf, whereas adults are found mostly along the continental slope and spawning areas on the Pacific-Antarctic Ridge. The inner bas…
The bridging role of non-governmental organizations in the planning, adoption, and management of the marine protected area network in Raja Ampat, Indonesia
Coral reef ecosystems are among the most diverse habitats on earth, providing essential social and ecological services. Raja Ampat, Indonesia - located in the Coral Triangle, the heart of marine biodiversity - has a rich history of traditional management, which included area-based management tools akin to modern marine protected areas (MPAs). Decentralization and restoration of tenure rights in 2001 provided an opportunity for resurgence and stro…
The Ross Sea, Antarctica
As the first large-scale (>150,000 km2) marine protected area (MPA) on the high seas, the Ross Sea region MPA sets a precedent for other MPAs in areas beyond national jurisdiction. In the myriad of MPA guides and rankings (including the new “MPA Guide”), categorization and evaluation of the Ross Sea region MPA also sets precedent for categorizing and evaluating future protected areas on the high seas. Here, we provide clarity on the governance of…
The Salas y Gómez and Nazca ridges
The Salas y Gómez and Nazca ridges are two seamount chains of volcanic origin, which include over 110 seamounts that collectively stretch across over 2,900 km in the southeastern Pacific. Ecosystems in this region are isolated by the Atacama Trench, the Humboldt Current System, and an extreme oxygen minimum zone. This isolation has produced a unique biodiversity that is marked by one of the highest levels of marine endemism on Earth. These areas …
Organizational perspectives on sustainable ocean governance
Protecting Antarctica through Co-production of actionable science
Governing Marine Living Resources in the Polar Regions
While global oceans are facing extreme pressure from anthropogenic activities, such as marine pollution and ocean acidification, the Polar Regions (Arctic and Antarctica) are still relatively pristine. Nevertheless, marine ecosystems in the Polar Regions are experiencing rapid changes. Climate change is already having dramatic impacts on global marine ecosystems and fisheries.1 Global warming has caused rapid loss in ice cover in many Polar Regio…

Social and ecological effectiveness of large marine protected areas
Reciprocity Principle and Traditional Ecological Knowledge
In this article we tell the story of a Wabanaki sagamore who travelled from the Presumpscot River (in present-day Maine, United States) to Boston in 1739 to protest the damming of the river that he “belongs to,” and on which his people depended for sustenance. In this account of the first documented dam protest in New England, we explore the notion of belonging and the social and ecological reciprocity embedded in that concept. Working with multi…
