IMPAC1 Proceedings

These proceedings comprise one of the most comprehensive collations of information about marine protected areas (MPAs) and are easily searchable for any related topic or keyword.

The proceedings cover a diverse range of MPA issues such as building effective MPA networks, evaluating management effectiveness, management planning, sustainable use, ecosystem processes, community-based management, and more.  It also includes numerous international case studies on the principles and best practices of managing MPAs. 

As a web-based product, various features enhance the ability of users to navigate around the document; these are explained on page 4 of the proceedings, and include ‘hotlinks’ from the contents page to all sections of the report; and the ability to search by Author, Theme, orals, posters or any keyword.  All delegates are also listed alphabetically within their countries.

It is a large document (~19 MB or 670 pages), so it is recommended that it be downloaded from the website as a PDF onto a computer ‘desktop’ to improve the speed of navigating around the document.  A limited number of CD-ROMs will be produced for those congress delegates who requested a CD at the congress given their specific problems in accessing the web.

 Any queries about these proceedings (or corrections of significant errors) should be directed to one of the editors listed below:
