Marine Protected Areas (2006) - Guam, Mariana Islands

The Nature Conservancy (TNC) is an international, non-profit conservation organization that works to protect ecologically important lands and waters for nature and people around the world. In Hawaii, TNC has worked with partners and members for 30 years to protect more than one million acres of critical natural lands. The TNC Hawaii Marine Program was launched in 2001 to restore and protect the near-shore coral reefs and marine resources surrounding Hawaii. With the help of local communities and conservation partners, TNC monitors the health and abundance of Hawaii's marine resources to identify major threats and develop strategies for protection. This map shows general areas in Hawaii where TNC has focused its marine monitoring efforts. For more information, please see: http://www.nature.org/en-us/about-us/where-we-work/united-states/hawaii/

Seamounts have been identified as Ecologically or Biologically Significant Areas (EBSAs) due to their unique oceanography and ecology; they frequently serve as sites for fisheries and as habitat for a number of species of conservation concern. A mix of isolated seamounts and seamount complexes are distributed throughout Canada’s Pacific offshore waters, although only a subset of these are named. We used several pre-existing spatial databases and predictive models to map all named seamounts within Canada’s Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ), all named seamounts fished by Canada in international waters, and any predicted (modelled) unnamed seamounts in the EEZ. These data are intended to inform marine planning initiatives in BC by providing collaborative, peer-reviewed scientific data at scales relevant to a BC coast-wide analysis.

Physical measures of selected ecosystem services provided by ocean and coastal ecosystems, by marine bioregion. Includes seafisheries landings, nature-based tourism, carbon sequestered, non-use values, and potential daily users.
