A 3-Part Series on Marine Protected Areas appeared in Surfrider's newsletter Making Waves in 2001-2002.


Here's a nice illustrated guide to MPAs.

An updated Framework for the National System of Marine Protected Areas of the United States of America was published in March 2015. Originally published in 2008, the Framework outlines the goals and objectives of the National System of MPAs and describes how it is being implemented, as called for by Executive Order 13158. The updated Framework incorporates experience gained implementing the National System and advice from the Marine Protected Areas Federal Advisory Committee and MPA programs.

Much more information on MPAs is available from NOAA's National Marine Protected Areas Center.
