BLUEprint for MPAs

This BLUEprint provides guidance for groups and communities planning or developing a marine protected area (MPA) through a framework of questions. The guidance is supported by case studies drawn from projects where Blue Marine Foundation has had years of involvement. It is designed to be used by anyone championing the establishment of a new MPA or involved in its management and we hope it provides some useful insight to support long-term success.
