This document has been developed to provide information and guidance on the use of marine protected areas in the context of fisheries. As MPA implementation moves ahead with biodiversity conservation, many people feel that the fisheries aspects are not fully understood or taken into account, and guidance to this specific sector is needed. These guidelines look specifically at fisheries features of MPAs but also address the interface between fisheries management and biodiversity conservation and provide support for MPAs with multiple objectives.

This innovative set of guidelines released on January 19, 2012 has for the first time combined and integrated the principles of fisheries, biodiversity and climate change in establishing effective marine protected area (MPA) networks in the Coral Triangle. In the past, many MPA networks were unsuccessful because they focused solely on one principle and objective. The new guidelines aim to address this concern by enabling MPA networks to simultaneously achieve fisheries sustainability, biodiversity conservation and ecosystem resilience in the face of climate change.
