Introduction:

Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) are essential tools for conserving marine biodiversity and ecosystems. With the increasing threats posed by climate change, designing MPAs that are resilient to these changes is becoming more important than ever. Climate change is causing widespread impacts on marine ecosystems, including rising sea levels, ocean acidification, and increasing temperatures, all of which are affecting the health and resilience of marine species and habitats.

This thesis aims to explore the design of MPAs for climate change resilience, focusing on strategies to enhance the adaptive capacity of these protected areas to future climate scenarios. By examining the current state of MPAs and their ability to withstand climate change impacts, this study seeks to provide insights and recommendations for improving MPA design and management in the face of a changing climate.

Thesis Overview:

The impacts of climate change on marine ecosystems are becoming increasingly apparent, highlighting the need for effective conservation strategies to protect these valuable and vulnerable habitats. Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) play a crucial role in safeguarding marine biodiversity and ecosystem functions, but they too are facing challenges from the effects of climate change.

This thesis will investigate the design of MPAs for climate change resilience, focusing on strategies to enhance their adaptive capacity and ability to withstand future environmental changes. By conducting a comprehensive literature review, exploring case studies, and engaging with stakeholders, this study aims to provide insights and recommendations for optimizing MPA design and management in the context of a changing climate.

Through a research methodology that includes data collection, analysis, and stakeholder engagement, this thesis will critically examine current MPA design practices and identify opportunities for improvement. By discussing findings and implications, this study will contribute to the ongoing dialogue on climate-resilient MPAs and provide a roadmap for future research and action in this critical area of marine conservation.
