Marine protected areas (MPAs) and area based management tools such as marine spatial planning are at the leading edge of global efforts to secure more effective conservation and management of the marine environment. The value of and commitment to MPAs have been endorsed in a wide range of global and regional fora over the past decades including the UNGA, Rio+20, BBNJ Process, the World Conservation Congress and the World Parks Congress. This presentation will examine the international law foundation for MPAs in marine areas beyond national jurisdiction (ABNJ). It will then analyse some of regional examples of MPAs in ABNJ and the legal and policy challenges involved in establishing these MPAs. These will include the North East Atlantic, the Mediterranean, Antarctic waters and the Sargasso Sea. The presentation concludes that targets and deadlines can be a positive impetus for progress eg., the CBD Aichi Targets and the Rio+20 target for a decision on an negotiation process for a possible new instrument under UNCLOS. Also cross sectoral and cross institutional connections are vital to marine ecosystem protection and beneficial for many reasons including trust building, balancing of conservation and sustainable use objectives and sharing of monitoring, surveillance and enforcement responsibilities.
