The "why and how" of marine functional connectivity for sustainable development
Marine Functional Connectivity (MFC) is a dynamic ecosystem process encompassing all the flows (of individuals, genes, matter and energy) driven by changes in the distribution and movement of marine organisms at sea and across the land-sea-air interface. Continuing advances in MFC understanding enhance our ability to evaluate the status, trends, and variability in marine species abundance, the drivers of change, and the role of marine species mov…
Ecologically and Biologically Significant Areas (Ebsas) as an enabling mechanism for transboundary marine spatial planning
Poor online information on European marine protected areas impairs public participation under the Aarhus Convention
The Aarhus Convention is a globally recognised benchmark for democratic environmental governance . However, no assessment exists on whether European MPAs comply with the legal standards set out by the Convention. Here, we focus on public authorities’ websites on MPAs as tools for promoting transparency, public involvement, and democratic processes . We assessed the websites of 61 European MPAs in thirteen countries using a survey structured by th…
Sustainable dolphin watching tours as a tool to increase public awareness of marine conservation – a comparative analysis between two Mediterranean destinations and implications for management
Dolphin watching is growing fast along the Mediterranean coasts, without an equivalent effort for its management. Whale and dolphin watching has been promoted as ecotourism with conservation benefits. However, only a few studies have investigated the potential of these tours to change the awareness of the participants and improve their pro-conservation sentiments. In the present study, the motivation, interest, knowledge, expectations and satisfa…
Revisiting “Success” and “Failure” of Marine Protected Areas: A Conservation Scientist Perspective
Marine protected areas (MPAs) form the cornerstone of marine conservation. Identifying which factors contribute to their success or failure is crucial considering the international conservation targets for 2020 and the limited funds generally available for marine conservation. We identified common factors of success and/or failure of MPA effectiveness using peer-reviewed publications and first-hand expert knowledge for 27 case studies around the …
