About the MPA Europe Project:

MPA Europe will map the optimal locations for Marine Protected Areas (MPA) in European Seas. Using a holistic range of measures that include the range of biodiversity from species to ecosystems, including habitats, areas will be prioritised using systematic conservation planning software. This enables alternative weighting of variables and multiple scenarios and thus support wider marine spatial planning.
