Marine Protected Areas: Science, Policy and Management addresses a full spectrum of issues relating to Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) not currently available in any other single volume. Chapters are contributed by a wide range of working specialists who examine conceptions and definitions of MPAs, progress on the implementation of worldwide MPAs, policy and legal variations across MPAs, the general importance of coastal communities in implementation, and the future of MPAs. The book constructively elucidates conflicts, issues, approaches and solutions in a way that creates a balanced consideration of the nature of effective policy and management.

Those in theory, designation, implementation or management of MPAs, from individuals, marine sector organizations, and university and research center libraries will find it an important work.

Clark, Robert
Robert is a fisheries and conservation manager with 20 years of practical experience of developing and implementing coastal and marine fisheries management. Robert holds degrees in Environmental Protection, Coastal Management and an MBA (Open). The majority of his career has been spent working in fisheries and MPA management and planning in the UK. He worked extensively as a sea going enforcement officer and qualified as a helmsman with the RNLI with extensive prior search and rescue experience. He has been responsible for developing and implementing successful strategy to turn around some of the poorest performing fisheries in the UK and in so doing delivering both conservation as well as economic benefits. Robert is a Council Member of the Institute of Fisheries Management and Chief Officer for the Southern Inshore Fisheries and Conservation Authority where he has overall responsibility for delivering MPA and fisheries management strategy.

Humphreys, John
After ten years as Pro Vice-Chancellor at the University of Greenwich, London, John moved to the south coast of England where he is currently visiting professor at the Institute of Marine Sciences, Portsmouth and Chairman of the Southern Inshore Fisheries & Conservation Authority: The latter statutory organisation being responsible for a sea area of which more than 50% is occupied by 15 marine protected areas with over 30 different overlapping designations. His main research focus is on the ecology of non-native bivalve species, but he has also published on various aspects of policy. His work in Africa won a Queen's Award for his University in 2007. John is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Biology and on the Council of the Estuarine & Coastal Sciences Association.
