  • 1. Introduction : why marine conservation is necessary : significance, threats and management of the oceans and biodiversity
  • 2. The marine environment : physicochemical characteristics : structures and processes : enduring and recurrent factors
  • 3. The marine environment : ecology and biology : pelagic and benthic realms and coastal fringing communities
  • 4. Approaches to marine conservation : traditional strategies and ecological frameworks
  • 5. Representative areas : global to ecoregional : marine conservation at the ecosystem/habitat level
  • 6. Habitats and communities : ecoregional to local : reality, variability and scales of relationships
  • 7. Distinctive areas : species and ecosystem processes : ecosystem processes : ergoclines and hotspots
  • 8. Patterns of biodiversity : species diversity : theories and relationships : global, regional, local
  • 9. Species and focal species : keystones, umbrellas, flagships, indicators and others
  • 10. Genetic diversity : significance of genetics : from genes to ecosystems
  • 11. Coastal zones : components, complexities and classifications
  • 12. High seas and deep seas : pelagic and benthic, hydrography and biogeography
  • 13. Linking fisheries management with marine conservation objectives through ecosystem approaches : compatibility of exploitation and preservation
  • 14. Size and boundaries of protected areas : rationale for function, location, dimensions
  • 15. Evaluation of protected areas : the concept of 'value' as applied to marine biodiversity
  • 16. Sets of protected areas : integrating distinctive and representative protected areas
  • 17. Networks of protected areas : patterns of connectivity in the oceans
