When ecological connectivity is taken into account during design and management, the results can lead to more effective and resilient MPAs and MPA networks. This publication provides 13 ‘Rules of Thumb’ to support more consistent efforts by MPA managers and marine conservation professionals to implement connectivity conservation and better measure progress towards global conservation targets. These purpose-built tools are intended to inform more effective management and protection of oceans and coasts by covering a diversity of science and policy issues. They can also be used to progress system-based marine conservation as an essential component of national, transboundary, and global policies that establish greater connectivity across borders and at larger scales.

Elisabeth Salinas and Genevieve Joy, MPI policy interns and seniors at New College and Columbia University, respectively, provided research assistance during the summer of 2008 on the Florida"s regulatory framework and sea level rise adaptation policy initiatives in other states and localities across the nation. The author especially would like to thank Elisabeth and Genevieve for their contributions which provided important background documentation and analyses. Dr. Ernest Estevez, Director of Mote"s Center for Coastal Ecology, provided constructive reviews, references for additional information sources, and editorial suggestions particularly on the science portion of the assessment. The author also would like to thank staff of Sarasota County who graciously took time to speak about the research, provide information on their programs, and fact-check descriptive information on various county initiatives. Separate synopsis report This MPI assessment looks specifically at the question: what policy tools and opportunities currently exist for local governments of Florida to begin to act now to build adaptation strategies for climate-associated sea level rise. It is accompanied by a much-shorter, separate synopsis report which condenses main issues and observations from the full report and is published in hard copy. That synopsis follows the general organization of this full assessment report. It abstracts the assessment in four sections: 1) some basics about climate change science and sea level rise, 2) highlights from assessment of the five policy tools noted above, 3) key principles of adaptation from emerging experience, and 4) leadership opportunities going forward. The synopsis is available in electronic form at ____, or in hard copy by contacting _______.

This chapter analyzes the transdisciplinary approach used by Mote Marine Laboratory, a Florida residential research institute, to achieve collaboration among scientists and local stakeholders for restoring fisheries’ resources and a local environmental icon, the bay scallop. These activities generated knowledge production and integration among stakeholders with different values, interests, and knowledge contributions. The mechanisms of knowledge-based collaboration among diverse stakeholders are discussed along with key strategies used to promote effective interactions and mutual learning among all knowledge holders, from traditional to formal science practitioners.

Los corredores son elementos fundamentales de las redes ecologicas para la conservacion y complementan los objetivos de las areas protegidas y OMEC al conectar estos habitats con otras areas naturales intactas. Estos lineamientos responden a la creciente demanda por la conectividad que han manifestado academicos, tomadores de decisiones y profesionales de la conservacion. Los ecosistemas bien conectados apoyan una serie de funciones ecologicas, incluyendo la migracion, ciclos de agua y de nutrientes, polinizacion, dispersion de semillas, seguridad alimentaria, resiliencia frente al clima y resistencia a enfermedades. Estos lineamientos ofrecen orientacion sobre como conservar los valores de la conectividad en diferentes contextos de la conservacion de forma consistente y medible. Los 25 estudios de caso de estos linea...

However, the understanding and implementation of ecological connectivity in marine protected areas (MPAs) lags behind that of their terrestrial counterparts. Here, we highlight the important role of ecological connectivity in the design and management of MPA networks through an introduction to marine connectivity and the challenges and benefits of incorporating it into management. The paper also provides guidance for policy and practice, including "rules of thumb" Through NAMPAN (the North American Marine Protected Areas Network), Canada, Mexico, and the United States work together to protect shared resources such as highly-migratory whales.

Il est impérieux que les pays du monde entier s’orientent vers une approche globale et cohérente de la conservation de la connectivité écologique, et qu’ils entreprennent de mesurer et de contrôler l’efficacité des efforts déployés en ce sens pour ainsi établir des réseaux écologiques fonctionnels. Pour favoriser l’atteinte de ces objectifs, les présentes lignes directrices présentent les corridors écologiques comme des moyens de recenser, de préserver, d’améliorer et de restaurer la connectivité; synthétisant un volume important de données scientifiques connexes; et formulent des recommandations concernant les moyens d’officialiser les corridors et les réseaux écologiques.
IUCN is a membership Union uniquely composed of both government and civil society organisations. ... more IUCN is a membership Union uniquely composed of both government and civil society organisations. It provides public, private and non-governmental organisations with the knowledge and tools that enable human progress, economic development and nature conservation to take place together. Created in 1948, IUCN is now the world's largest and most diverse environmental network, harnessing the knowledge, resources and reach of more than 1,400 Member organisations and some 15,000 experts. It is a leading provider of conservation data, assessments and analysis. Its broad membership enables IUCN to fill the role of incubator and trusted repository of best practices, tools and international standards. IUCN provides a neutral space in which diverse stakeholders including governments, NGOs, scientists, businesses, local communities, indigenous peoples organisations and others can work together to forge and implement solutions to environmental challenges and achieve sustainable development. Working with many partners and supporters, IUCN implements a large and diverse portfolio of conservation projects worldwide. Combining the latest science with the traditional knowledge of local communities, these projects work to reverse habitat loss, restore ecosystems and improve people's well-being. www.iucn.org https://twitter.com/IUCN/ IUCN World Commission on Protected Areas (WCPA) IUCN's World Commission on Protected Areas (WCPA) is the world's premier network of protected area expertise. It is administered by IUCN Programme on Protected Areas and has more than 2,500 members, spanning 140 countries. WCPA is one of IUCN's six voluntary Commissions and its mission is to promote the establishment and effective management of a worldwide representative network of terrestrial and marine protected areas, as an integral contribution to the IUCN mission. WCPA works by helping governments and others plan protected areas and integrate them into all sectors, providing strategic advice to policy makers and practitioners to help strengthen capacity and investment in protected areas, and convening the diverse constituency of protected area stakeholders to address challenging issues. For more than 60 years, IUCN and WCPA have been at the forefront of global action on protected areas. www.iucn.org/wcpa Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) Opened for signature at the Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro in 1992, and entered into force in December 1993, the Convention on Biological Diversity is an international treaty for the conservation of biodiversity, the sustainable use of the components of biodiversity and the equitable sharing of the benefits derived from the use of genetic resources. With 196 Parties so far, the Convention has near universal participation among countries. www.cbd.int WCPA Connectivity Conservation Specialist Group (CCSG) CCSG was established in 2016 under the IUCN World Commission on Protected Areas (WCPA) to support information sharing, active participation, global awareness, and action to maintain, enhance, and restore ecological connectivity conservation around the world. Its objective is to advance the science, policy, and practice at international, national, and subnational levels to meet the growing demand for solutions that advance the identification, recognition, and implementation of consistent connectivity conservation measures. www.iucn.org/wcpa-connectivity www.conservationcorridor.org/ccsg Center for Large Landscape Conservation (CLLC) CLLC develops solutions, implements projects and contributes to global efforts that connect and protect crucial habitat across terrestrial, marine and freshwater ecosystems. It provides expertise through four key focus areas: science and research, mentorship and networking, community resilience and policy. By bringing knowledge and experience to bear on connectivity conservation issues worldwide, the Center works with communities, governments and other stakeholders to stop fragmentation and safeguard the legacy of protected and conserved areas by making them part of larger ecological networks for conservation. www.largelandscapes.org Yellowstone to Yukon Conservation Initiative (Y2Y) Y2Y connects and protects habitat in North America spanning the Yellowstone to Yukon ecosystems so people and nature can thrive. It highlights and focuses on local issues that have implications for the region as a whole, and works to set the context for regional conservation work by providing the vision for a healthy Yellowstone to Yukon. Working across an area covering over 3,200 square kilometres, Y2Y engages partners across jurisdictions to knit together an interconnected system of wild lands and waters that harmonizes the needs of people and nature.

We utilize a latent semantic indexing analysis over natural language corpus to classify and categorize knowledge categories. We computed TF*IDF scores and associated cooccurrence Jaccard similarity scores to construct semantic knowledge networks. Using network analysis, we computed structural metrics over four composite groups: neighbor-based, centrality, equivalence and position. The analysis show that structural network characteristics of environmental knowledge can exponentially predict associations between knowledge categories. We show that connectivity play a critical role on acquisition, representation, and diffusion patterns of knowledge within local communities. We provide evidence of a global prevalence of a shared knowledge core. We show that core social-ecological attributes of knowledge follow scalefree, power law distributions and stable, equilibrium network structures. We identify two distinct models of bidirectional translation: a bottom-up and a top-down.

Los corredores son elementos fundamentales de las redes ecologicas para la conservacion y complementan los objetivos de las areas protegidas y OMEC al conectar estos habitats con otras areas naturales intactas. Estos lineamientos responden a la creciente demanda por la conectividad que han manifestado academicos, tomadores de decisiones y profesionales de la conservacion. Los ecosistemas bien conectados apoyan una serie de funciones ecologicas, incluyendo la migracion, ciclos de agua y de nutrientes, polinizacion, dispersion de semillas, seguridad alimentaria, resiliencia frente al clima y resistencia a enfermedades. Estos lineamientos ofrecen orientacion sobre como conservar los valores de la conectividad en diferentes contextos de la conservacion de forma consistente y medible. Los 25 estudios de caso de estos linea...

However, the understanding and implementation of ecological connectivity in marine protected areas (MPAs) lags behind that of their terrestrial counterparts. Here, we highlight the important role of ecological connectivity in the design and management of MPA networks through an introduction to marine connectivity and the challenges and benefits of incorporating it into management. The paper also provides guidance for policy and practice, including "rules of thumb" Through NAMPAN (the North American Marine Protected Areas Network), Canada, Mexico, and the United States work together to protect shared resources such as highly-migratory whales.

Il est impérieux que les pays du monde entier s’orientent vers une approche globale et cohérente de la conservation de la connectivité écologique, et qu’ils entreprennent de mesurer et de contrôler l’efficacité des efforts déployés en ce sens pour ainsi établir des réseaux écologiques fonctionnels. Pour favoriser l’atteinte de ces objectifs, les présentes lignes directrices présentent les corridors écologiques comme des moyens de recenser, de préserver, d’améliorer et de restaurer la connectivité; synthétisant un volume important de données scientifiques connexes; et formulent des recommandations concernant les moyens d’officialiser les corridors et les réseaux écologiques.
IUCN is a membership Union uniquely composed of both government and civil society organisations. ... more IUCN is a membership Union uniquely composed of both government and civil society organisations. It provides public, private and non-governmental organisations with the knowledge and tools that enable human progress, economic development and nature conservation to take place together. Created in 1948, IUCN is now the world's largest and most diverse environmental network, harnessing the knowledge, resources and reach of more than 1,400 Member organisations and some 15,000 experts. It is a leading provider of conservation data, assessments and analysis. Its broad membership enables IUCN to fill the role of incubator and trusted repository of best practices, tools and international standards. IUCN provides a neutral space in which diverse stakeholders including governments, NGOs, scientists, businesses, local communities, indigenous peoples organisations and others can work together to forge and implement solutions to environmental challenges and achieve sustainable development. Working with many partners and supporters, IUCN implements a large and diverse portfolio of conservation projects worldwide. Combining the latest science with the traditional knowledge of local communities, these projects work to reverse habitat loss, restore ecosystems and improve people's well-being. www.iucn.org https://twitter.com/IUCN/ IUCN World Commission on Protected Areas (WCPA) IUCN's World Commission on Protected Areas (WCPA) is the world's premier network of protected area expertise. It is administered by IUCN Programme on Protected Areas and has more than 2,500 members, spanning 140 countries. WCPA is one of IUCN's six voluntary Commissions and its mission is to promote the establishment and effective management of a worldwide representative network of terrestrial and marine protected areas, as an integral contribution to the IUCN mission. WCPA works by helping governments and others plan protected areas and integrate them into all sectors, providing strategic advice to policy makers and practitioners to help strengthen capacity and investment in protected areas, and convening the diverse constituency of protected area stakeholders to address challenging issues. For more than 60 years, IUCN and WCPA have been at the forefront of global action on protected areas. www.iucn.org/wcpa Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) Opened for signature at the Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro in 1992, and entered into force in December 1993, the Convention on Biological Diversity is an international treaty for the conservation of biodiversity, the sustainable use of the components of biodiversity and the equitable sharing of the benefits derived from the use of genetic resources. With 196 Parties so far, the Convention has near universal participation among countries. www.cbd.int WCPA Connectivity Conservation Specialist Group (CCSG) CCSG was established in 2016 under the IUCN World Commission on Protected Areas (WCPA) to support information sharing, active participation, global awareness, and action to maintain, enhance, and restore ecological connectivity conservation around the world. Its objective is to advance the science, policy, and practice at international, national, and subnational levels to meet the growing demand for solutions that advance the identification, recognition, and implementation of consistent connectivity conservation measures. www.iucn.org/wcpa-connectivity www.conservationcorridor.org/ccsg Center for Large Landscape Conservation (CLLC) CLLC develops solutions, implements projects and contributes to global efforts that connect and protect crucial habitat across terrestrial, marine and freshwater ecosystems. It provides expertise through four key focus areas: science and research, mentorship and networking, community resilience and policy. By bringing knowledge and experience to bear on connectivity conservation issues worldwide, the Center works with communities, governments and other stakeholders to stop fragmentation and safeguard the legacy of protected and conserved areas by making them part of larger ecological networks for conservation. www.largelandscapes.org Yellowstone to Yukon Conservation Initiative (Y2Y) Y2Y connects and protects habitat in North America spanning the Yellowstone to Yukon ecosystems so people and nature can thrive. It highlights and focuses on local issues that have implications for the region as a whole, and works to set the context for regional conservation work by providing the vision for a healthy Yellowstone to Yukon. Working across an area covering over 3,200 square kilometres, Y2Y engages partners across jurisdictions to knit together an interconnected system of wild lands and waters that harmonizes the needs of people and nature.

We utilize a latent semantic indexing analysis over natural language corpus to classify and categorize knowledge categories. We computed TF*IDF scores and associated cooccurrence Jaccard similarity scores to construct semantic knowledge networks. Using network analysis, we computed structural metrics over four composite groups: neighbor-based, centrality, equivalence and position. The analysis show that structural network characteristics of environmental knowledge can exponentially predict associations between knowledge categories. We show that connectivity play a critical role on acquisition, representation, and diffusion patterns of knowledge within local communities. We provide evidence of a global prevalence of a shared knowledge core. We show that core social-ecological attributes of knowledge follow scalefree, power law distributions and stable, equilibrium network structures. We identify two distinct models of bidirectional translation: a bottom-up and a top-down.
