Webinar: Tracking Global MPA Effectiveness: MPAtlas Tools and Tips
Presented by: Beth Pike, Jessica MacCarthy, and Nikki Harasta of the Marine Conservation Institute
Date/Time: Thursday, March 26 at 10 am US EDT/7 am US PDT/2 pm UTC/3 pm CET
Description: Where does the “3% of MPAs are effective” statistic come from? Would your work benefit from being able to see the number of fully and highly protected MPAs in different countries? Do you wish there was a platform for viewing High Seas MPAs? Maybe you want to see how many MPAs are protected from anchoring and aquaculture in addition to fishing, or maybe you want to view global MPAs by size class. Do you want to download the list of countries and the amount of EEZ that is fully or highly protected? Or do you want that list aggregated by sovereignty? The Marine Protection Atlas (MPAtlas) website has been tracking MPA effectiveness since 2012, but many folks do not know that it can do all this and more! Join this webinar to learn how to leverage this open access downloadable data for your conservation needs.
