Showing whether an MPA is actually working – Are rules being followed? Is it delivering socio-cultural benefits? Is it protecting or restoring biodiversity? – requires surveillance, monitoring, analysis, and reporting that can be incredibly time-consuming and expensive. The eOceans® team built the MPA Health Tracker™ tool to automate this workflow using observations from scientists, guardians, rangers, citizen scientists, sensors, and other sources. The tool helps managers save time rebuilding databases, analyses, maps, and reports, while giving them better evidence to demonstrate results, identify what’s needed, scale across networks, and build support for the outcomes. In September, Dr. Chris Ward-Paige, marine scientist and creator of eOceans®, will host free 30-minute rapid onboarding sessions to show you what is possible with the tool and help new users get started.
