[Coral-List] re: MPA literature for managing new MPAs (science-related)

[Kathleen A Kelly]

Nadav Shashar - You asked re: a new MPA in Israel: what biological 
information is needed for proper management, if there are guidelines, 
etc.  You may wish to visit the National Marine Protected Area Center's 
MPA Virtual Library 
(http://www2.mpa.gov/mpa/mpaservices/virtual_library/virtual_library.lasso).
Search such terms as "management", "science", "ecosystem management" or 
"Israel".  Here are a few items listed in the Virtual Library that may 
be helpful:
