| dc.description | Marine and coastal protected areas (MCPAs) are now universally
recognized as key tools for the conservation and
management of marine species, habitats and ecosystems.
The need is clear: coastal development and population
growth, depleted marine resources, pollution of coastal
ecosystems, degradation of coral reefs, and dramatic loss
of biodiversity are but a few of the warning signs that
urgent action is needed. | en_US |
