The vast expanses of ocean that cover about 70% of our planet have
been negatively affected by fishing, pollution and, increasingly,
by climate change. To mitigate these effects and safeguard the
delicate ecological and environmental functions of oceans and their
remarkable biodiversity, international agreements have led to the
ongoing creation of marine protected areas around the world. In
some of these areas, human activity is prohibited and in others it
is managed in a sustainable way. Australia is at the forefront of
marine conservation, with one of the largest systems of marine
protected areas in the world. Big, Bold and Blue: Lessons from
Australia's Marine Protected Areas captures much of Australia's
experience, sharing important lessons from the Great Barrier Reef
and many other extraordinary marine protected areas. It presents
real-world examples, leading academic research, perspectives on
government policy, and information from Indigenous sea country
management, non-governmental organisations, and commercial and
recreational fishing sectors. The lessons learnt during the rapid
expansion of Australia's marine protected areas, both positive and
negative, will aid and advise other nations in their own marine
conservation efforts.
