PRIMARY CONSERVATION FOCUS

Sustainable Production: MPAs or zones established and managed wholly or in part with the

explicit purpose of supporting the continued extraction of renewable living resources (such as

fish, shellfish, plants, birds, or mammals) that live within the MPA, or that are exploited elsewhere

but depend upon the protected area’s habitat for essential aspects of their ecology or life history.

Natural Heritage: MPAs or zones established and managed wholly or in part to sustain,

conserve, restore, and understand the protected area’s natural biodiversity, populations, communities, 

habitats, and ecosystems; the ecological and physical processes upon which they depend; and, the 

ecological services, human uses and values they provide to this and future generations.

Most MPAs have legally established goals, conservation objectives, and intended purpose(s). Common examples

include MPAs created to conserve biodiversity in support of research and education; to protect benthic habitat

in order to recover over-fished stocks; and to protect and interpret shipwrecks for maritime education. These

descriptors of an MPA are reflected in the site’s Conservation Focus, which represents the characteristics of

the area that the MPA was established to conserve. The Conservation Focus, in turn, influences many fundamental

aspects of the site, including its design, location, size, scale, management strategies and potential contribution

to surrounding ecosystems. U.S. MPAs generally address one or more of these areas of Conservation Focus:

Zoned Multiple-Use: MPAs that allow some extractive activities throughout the entire site,

but that use marine zoning to allocate specific uses to compatible places or times in order to

reduce user conflicts and adverse impacts.

Zoned Multiple-Use With No-Take Area(s): Multiple-use MPAs that contain at 

least one legally established management zone in which all resource extraction is prohibited.

No-Take: MPAs or zones that allow human access and even some potentially harmful uses,

but that totally prohibit the extraction or significant destruction of natural or cultural

resources.

Cultural Heritage: MPAs or zones established and managed wholly or in part to protect 

and understand submerged cultural resources that reflect the nation’s maritime history and

traditional cultural connections to the sea.

MPAs in the U.S. vary widely in the level and type of legal protections afforded to the site’s natural and cultural

resources and ecological processes. Any MPA, or management zone within a larger MPA, can be characterized

by one of the following six levels of protection, which will directly influence its effects on the environment and

human uses.

LEVEL OF PROTECTION

Uniform Multiple-Use: MPAs or zones with a consistent level of protection and allowable

activities, including certain extractive uses, across the entire protected area.

No Access: MPAs or zones that restrict all human access to the area in order to prevent

potential ecological disturbance, unless specifically permitted for designated special uses such

as research, monitoring or restoration.

No Impact: MPAs or zones that allow human access, but that prohibit all activities that

could harm the site’s resources or disrupt the ecological or cultural services they provide.
