Abstract

Ecologically or Biologically Significant Marine Areas (EBSA) are regarded as priority areas with ecological properties within our ocean space and require special management of human activities. METHODS: EBSA methodology uses Systematic Conservation Planning as a spatial prioritisation tool that supports decision-making about actions (usually with limited resources) that optimise benefits for biodiversity at the least cost to society. The methodology is documented in MARISMA EBSA Workstream, 2020.
