Conservation International has been working with IAN staff to develop a series of publications regarding Marine Managed Areas as part of their Science to Action program. The first three booklets in a publication series were released in September. "People and Oceans: Managing marine areas for human well-being" (20 pp.) provides a social and economic perspective on marine managed areas. "Living with the Sea: Local efforts buffer effects of climate change" provides a natural science perspective on marine managed areas. "Marine Managed Areas: What, why and where" (16 pp.) provides a description of this management approach. Each booklet is rich in illustrations and uses multiple case studies from a global effort by Conservation International to develop and test marine management approaches.
