Pragmatic approaches for effective management of pelagic marine protected areas

The dynamic nature of pelagic environments presents unique challenges for management. Despite the sharp increase in the number of marine protected areas (MPAs) with large pelagic areas, or pelagic marine protected areas (PMPAs), little literature exists regarding on-theground approaches to their management, in large part due to the relative newness of many largescale PMPAs. Here we attempt to h...
