Our knowledge of the oceans is increasing rapidly, as more powerful
tools for exploration and exploitation make it easier to locate
valuable resources, such as fish stocks, oil and gas reserves, or
sites for wind and hydropower schemes. At the same time competition
for space has intensified, affecting marine life and people's
livelihoods. Much has been written about marine management using
marine protected areas, but MPAs are only a small subset of spatial
management tools available. MPAs and MPA networks are better seen
as starting points for more comprehensive spatial management,
facilitated by ocean zoning. This logical scaling up from discreet
piecemeal protected areas to larger and more systematic planning is
happening around the world, but few are aware that we are entering
a brave new world in ocean management with zoning at its core. This
book provides guidance on using ocean zoning to improve marine
management. It reviews the benefits of ocean zoning in theory,
reviews progress made in zoning around the world through a wide
range of case studies, and derives lessons learned to recommend a
process by which future zoning can be maximally effective and
efficient. Published with MARES, Forest Trends and UNEP
