Particularly Sensitive Sea Areas: Protection of Specific Marine Areas [This chapter introduces marine protected areas (MPAs) as a means to counter threats to the marine environment. As has been seen in the previous chapter, the ecological state of the oceans is in constant danger. It is my intention to explore in what way the establishment of protected areas contributes to marine environment protection. In so doing, I will first give a rough overview of MPA concepts in order to elucidate the historical developments and the underlying scientific rationale. In a second section, I will look into how MPAs are established, i.e. what criteria they have to meet, what their objectives are and how protection can actually be achieved.] http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png

Abstract

[This chapter introduces marine protected areas (MPAs) as a means to counter threats to the marine environment. As has been seen in the previous chapter, the ecological state of the oceans is in constant danger. It is my intention to explore in what way the establishment of protected areas contributes to marine environment protection. In so doing, I will first give a rough overview of MPA concepts in order to elucidate the historical developments and the underlying scientific rationale. In a second section, I will look into how MPAs are established, i.e. what criteria they have to meet, what their objectives are and how protection can actually be achieved.]
