Marine protected area network planning in the Western Arctic Bioregion : identification of a conservation objective and priority conservation areas as required planning components / R. Hodgson, K. Martin,...: Fs70-5/2015-021E-PDF
To meet Canada’s obligations to the United Nations (UN) Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD), creation of a Marine Protected Areas Network (MPAN) following UN stipulated steps is required. This paper details the completion of step three from the UN CBD, which calls for a process to identify priority conservation areas as planning inputs to the MPAN. This paper details the approach taken to delineate PCAs within the Western Arctic Bioregion. Twenty three (23) PCAs were delineated for the bioregion and a conservation objective for the Marine Protected Area Network in this bioregion was established.
