"The present report is the first attempt to review and synthesize existing literature for the priority habitats listed in decision VIII/24, which include seamounts, cold-water coral reefs, hydrothermal vents and other ecosystems in areas beyond national jurisdiction. The report presents, in synthesized format, information about the distribution, status and trends (where available), as well as the threats facing these ecosystems. Information about the functioning of these ecosystems and the ecology of associated species is also presented. Finally, the report reviews work that has been undertaken to identify priority conservation areas beyond the limits of national jurisdiction"--P. 9.

Marine protected areas in SE Asia were assessed and reviewed to analyze the increasing threats such as coastal development, collecting of endangered species, ornamental trading, over-exploitation, pollution, and tourism that lead to the depletion of the biodiversity resources of the marine protected areas in the region.

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.

MPA Federal Advisory Committee's recommendations for a simplified system for categorizing MPAs in the United States, released in response to the Draft Framework for Developing a National System of MPAs. Addresses management criteria that could serve as entry criteria or evaluative criteria for sites admitted to the System; priority conservation objectives under which existing and new areas would be identified over time for natural heritage, cultural heritage, and sustainable production purposes; and a set of user-friendly MPA categories based on site purpose and type of protection. These recommendations were developed in response to the Committee's ad hoc charge from the Departments of Commerce and the Interior delivered at an April 2007 MPA FAC meeting in Arlington, Virginia.

IUCN's Protected Areas Management Categories, which classify protected areas according to their management objectives, are today accepted as the benchmark for defining, recording, and classifying protected areas. They are recognized by international bodies such as the United Nations as well as many national governments. As a result, they are increasingly being incorporated into government legislation. These guidelines provide as much clarity as possible regarding the meaning and application of the Categories. They describe the definition of the Categories and discuss application in particular biomes and management approaches.
