Help would be very much appreciated in identifying one or more recent pieces of work, anywhere in the world, examining the actual implementation of ocean zoning within marine protected areas, or networks of such areas. By actual implementation I refer to what happens after the ecological surveys and analysis and mapping and public consultation and delineation of the zones occur.
I know that will already strike people as a very specific request. But let me narrow it even further. I am especially interested in work that focuses on the Great Barrier Reef, but is not authored by anyone associated directly, now or in the past, with the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority (i.e. in independent assessments). I am not at all interested in the Tortugas Ecological Reserve, within the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary, because that base is covered. Ocean zoning experiences anywhere else in the world are grist for the mill. Thanks in advance. I will be happy, later, to post a list of interesting items, if one materializes. And feel free to contact me off the list, if you wish. Geoffrey. Emeritus Professor, UC Davis
