Reviews
'For those working in any one area related to MPAs this will be a valuable source of information on the linkages among them, and an inspiring insight into the wider dimensions, right up to the global scale.' Frontiers of Biogeography
'This new collection edited by Joachim Claudet is now the best available book on the science around marine protected areas (MPAs). Its well-published authors come from 11 countries, so the book is a good reflection of the state of the art with little geographic bias. The book is in four parts: on threats, effects inside and outside MPAs, methods for effectiveness assessment, and networks or systems. The book should be read by MPA managers and advisors, researchers, and students of conservation, ecosystem and natural resource sciences.' Mark Costello, Biological Conservation
