      abstract = {"Human-induced environmental disturbance - through fishery  activities, coastal development, tourism and pollution - is  a major challenge to the restoration and conservation of  marine biodiversity. Synthesizing the latest research into  marine biodiversity conservation and fisheries management,  this book provides regional and global perspectives on the  role of Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) in confronting this  challenge. The approach is multidisciplinary, covering all  the fields involved in designating and assessing MPAs:  ecology, fisheries science, statistics, economics,  sociology and genetics. The book is structured around key  topics, including threats to marine ecosystems and  resources, the effects and effectiveness of MPAs and the  scaling-up of MPA systems. Both theoretical and empirical  approaches are considered. Recognizing the diversity of MPA  sciences, the book also includes one part designed  specifically as a practical guide to implementing  scientific assessment studies of MPAs and monitoring  programs"--},
